Our Mission
In the Shipibo language, Jakon Kibi means “Bridge with the Life-Giving Good Essence of Creation.” Our community is focused on the practice, preservation and ethical / safe transmission of the revered Amazonian plant medicine tradition of the Shipibo people.
We seek to directly benefit the Shipibo people and underserved communities worldwide by providing a resource for clear, accessible information around the foundations of Shipibo plant medicine for anyone interested. We are committed to serve as a reciprocal bridge between the Shipibo, who are sharing their traditional healing work, and those seeking the opportunity to experience this powerful healing practice based in plant medicine and energetic connection.
We recognize that in the last 20+ years of growing interest in Ayahuasca and Amazonian plant medicine around the world, the majority of people/communities that have had the opportunity to experience Shipibo medicine in the Amazon or abroad have been privileged people of European descent. While our community is open to people of all backgrounds, we are focused on changing this imbalance and opening channels for this healing work to be accessible to BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) and underserved communities worldwide.
If this is a cause you believe in and would like to support, please let us know. If you are BIPOC with questions and/or would like to experience this medicine tradition, please reach out. We are committed to providing a safe space for BIPOC, LGBTQ, and all historically marginalized people/groups and ensuring these values are upheld in our community.
The Shipibo plant medicine tradition has the capacity to bring profound healing, awakening, and transformation to ourselves, our communities, and our planet, restoring balance and well-being through ancestral energetic practices and a reverential relationship with ourselves and Nature.
We will be sharing educational content and resources with you regularly, and we look forward to connecting and learning together.
