Maestro Kestembetsa
Kestenbetsa is a world-renowned Shipibo Shaman and Curandero "Healer" of the Peruvian Amazon.
His Shipibo name is Kestenbetsa, which means “echo of the universe.” He began to study shamanism at the age of 12. At the age of 24, he decided to renounce his job as a recovery room nurse and enter the field of shamanism. He retreated deep into the forest without clothing or food, armed only with a knife, a bow and four arrows and spent the next 12 months in complete isolation.
