June Special of the Month ~ Tapesteries & Altar Cloths

Authentic Shipibo-Conibo Embroidered Tapestry

Shipibo tapestries, known as kené, are spiritual maps of the cosmos, acting as visual representations of sacred plant medicine visions, icaros, and the universes interconnectedness.  Used for healing, protection, and connecting with the spirit word through intricate geometric patterns symbolizing energies, spirits, and natural elements like rivers, animals, and plants, each complex design holds specific energetic information, acting like musical scores or coded language to facilitate spiritual journeys and repair energetic imbalances.

• Cosmic Maps: The patterns map the universe, reflecting the Shipibo cosmology and the deep, real world experienced during shamanic journeys.
• Musical Scores (Icaros): Designs translate the vibrational energy and lyrics of sacred healing songs sung by shamans to facilitate healing and spiritual connection.
• Vibrational Energy: Patterns represent the energetic blueprint of plants, illnesses, or people, embodying the spirit of nature and the cosmos.
• Healing & Protection: Woven with intentions of healing, protection, and guidance, they are used in ceremonies to connect participants with the spirit world

How they are used

• Ceremonial Tools: Used in Ayahuasca ceremonies and healing rituals to focus energy and guide participants.
• Spiritual Art: Beyond decoration, they are living art that tells stories, transmits knowledge, and carries the essence of the Amazon.
• Personal Connection: Holding or viewing a tapestry can help individuals connect with the plant medicine world and their own spiritual path. 

Each piece is hand made, unique, and carries a powerful vibration of it's own.

A message from the Artisan:

Hello, good day. My name is Sully, and I am from the Shipibo-Conibo ethnic group. I was born in the native community of Puerto Consuelo, but I currently live in the native community of San Salvador.

The women of my tribe are dedicated to making handicrafts with embroidered fabrics and also with ancestral seeds. We teach the girls of my tribe to embroider from a very young age. It is a hobby for many girls, and for boys it is fishing. My ancestors were shamans, dedicated to ancestral medicine. Many of our older women were doctors, and thanks to them, we grew up healthy and safe. As a child, I suffered from an illness that was said to be incurable in the community, but thanks to our plants, I am now healthy and safe. I am very happy and grateful because I can teach and share many of our customs with more people.
