La Maestra Alicia
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Ayahuasquera, Vegetalista
La maestra Alicia comes from a long lineage of curanderos: both of her grandfathers were tabacceros, meaning shamans that work with the plant of tobacco to cure. As is often the case, she became a shaman after a serious life crisis that made her abandon her family and live in the street. After being cured by ayahuasca, she felt called by the medicine to treat other people. She is self taught, but when asked, she says that the plants teach her. She lives between the Paojilhuasca center and a very remote area along Momon River near Iquitos. This special isolation in nature makes her power even stronger thanks to the deep connection with the environment.
