Amazonian Music Circles
Amazonian music has become, for many people, a path of self-exploration. Its spiritual and therapeutic potential has inspired a growing interest in these traditions and in journeys to various regions of the Amazon in search of the ancestral knowledge of its Indigenous peoples.
This expanding interest in the West creates, especially for Western facilitators, the need to adopt an approach that supports the creation of appropriate spaces for the transmission and diffusion of these ancestral songs.
While the most genuine way to access these traditions remains to go directly to the source, with Indigenous masters or in recognized centers such as Takiwasi, we understand that not everyone can or is prepared to travel to the Amazon. For this reason, at the Ibú-Ilé Center we seek a harmonious balance, integrating the wisdom transmitted by Indigenous teachers with our therapeutic training.
Our sessions take place within the traditional Amazonian ritualized framework, using music, songs, prayers, and techniques from Indo-Amazonian and Yoruba shamanism, complemented by a solid therapeutic foundation and continuous updates through research and scientific evidence.
Another of our missions is to promote the ethical diffusion of these traditions. Their use must always be accompanied by respect and care for the Amazon, its Indigenous peoples, and their ancestral wisdom, who represent an invaluable gift of nature and deserve our deepest gratitude, honor, and protection for the legacy they have shared with humanity.
