We are honored to be able to offer Indigenous artisan crafts and unique, handmade art works of the communities we support. Each item is uniquely created with the intentions of connecting with and honoring spirit allies, and carries with it the protection and blessings of these allies.

Items include:

Shipibo Conibo Kene - The Shipibo Conibo, Indigenous people of the Ucayali river basin in South America, live in close relationship to the Earth, to nature, to the weather, to the river and water, and to the rich and diverse plant and animal life that surrounds them. Their Icaros, the sacred songs that embody healing vibrations of nature, plants, and allies are a foundational part of their healing traditions. From a Shipibo view, the healing vibrations of these icaros are both sound and geometric patterns, with every design carrying its own specific meaning.

The designs of the patterns of icaros are reproduced and painted on Shipibo houses, boats, and tools, or hand stitched into colorful, intricate embroidered clothes and cloths. This allows the medicine of the icaro songs, and the healing vibrations they hold, to also be received by seeing and wearing these designs. These designs, or kene, hold powerful healing properties that connect with helping spirits and support health, love, success, good protection, happiness, and more.

We also feature Shipibo crafted gourd rattles. Rattles are used to break up static energy and to call in power, energy, and allies. These rattles are hand-carved with traditional design patterns.

Select the rattle or song cloth with the healing vibration you are looking for to welcome their blessings, while also sharing support for the preservation of Indigenous traditions.

Wixáriika Huichol Yarn Painting and Bead Artwork - For the Wixáritari, or Huichol people, Indigenous to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range of Central Mexico, the beliefs and traditions of their ancestors are still alive and present in their rituals and practices. In their exquisite artisanal crafts are depictions of their history, development, and creation story. Many of these crafts include intricate designs and symbols representing the powerful spirits and allies who are deeply meaningful in the Wixarika cosmology.
