Roonin Kushi
Founder and Healer
Born in Peru in 1978. He’s been studying master plants for more than 20 years along with other disciplines and traditions. As a “Vegetalista” (Mestizo amazonian shamanism), he holds several “master plant dietas” with plants like Palo de Viento, Piñon Colorado, Ajo Sacha, Boahuasca, Renaquilla, Mapacho, Noya Rao, Lupuna, Camalonga, Chiric Sanango, Ayahuma and Ajosquiro. In ceremonies his voice is certainly one-of-a-kind. Frequently combining the Ikaros (plant medicine songs) with powerful mantras “learned possibly in previous lifes”. He has made a compromise to manifest the virtues that lead to self-realization, reduce suffering and pursues enlightenment.
