- Icaros are medicinal healing songs performed during the plant medicine ceremonies in Shipibo tradition.They are at the very core of the Shipibo curanderismo (healing tradition).
In this short film, the Shipibo language expert Macarena Arias is telling about this medical jargon of Shipibo people as a tool for healing. And how the Shipibo language by itself is a doorway to understand Shipibo culture.

Outstanding film. Thank you. Macarena’s explanation is detailed and very helpful for understanding the art and science of icaros.
She is amazing indeed!
I am currently planning my first visit to have my dream come true to meet the shipibo people and learn as a student from their rich culture. :) Hope to meet you soon one day. And the curanderos curanderas and their aya brew.
Amazing doc!
Aho. Cheers to all native people of this side of the world. Shipino reminds me of native first nation singing aswell. Aho 🪶
Aho!
Fantastic, love this! Might you recommend any centers in Peru where one can learn a little Shipibo language and icaros? It seems like most ayahuasca retreats are not Shipibo run, for example, even if Shipibo shamans work there, and that most Western participants don’t have engaging with and learning from Shipibo culture on their radar much. It would be great if there were longer dieta, Shipibo cultural centers that encouraged dedicated study of the culture with someone like you to help!
Hey, I am not in a position to put any recommendations here in public since this is a sensetive topic. Please, get in touch with me via email (in my description), I will give you some contacts. Thank you for watching!
Who did that visual piece at 9:46? That was how my experience went 😵💫
Thank you! Animation by TAS Visuals! You may also want to check our collab short film about what is Ayahuasca. Also on this channel!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I am getting ready to do my 3rd dieta and I would like to learn Icaros, but I don't see your email address. I am not on Instagram, and that is the only link I see in the description. Where can I find your email address?
Hi! Thank you. You can find my email address in the description of this channel.
I am in the USA and having a very difficult time getting Shipibo translations of English phrases. Do you have any recommendations for where I should look? Google has not helped : )
Hi, Shipibo language wouldn't have direct equivalents for many words in English. It is the different mindset skill )
Is there a place to learn the icaros?
yes, please connect with me via email
Hey Marcus ❤
