Ikaros - Tribute to Rosa Giove
On March 7, 2022, one year ago, Rosa left for other horizons, free as a bird. Since then, many people have perceived her presence in dreams or during daytime, especially in moments of healing.
As a memory and tribute, we propose a production of ikaros by Dr. Rosa Giove recorded during an Ayahuasca ceremony held in Takiwasi in 2020. This new production includes, in an extraordinary way, Rosa's last ikaro.

Testimony of a participant in a Retreat/Diet
"I have deep respect and admiration for the honesty, affection, humility and dedication to service of the people who make up Takiwasi, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who is motivated enough to embark on this type of process. For me, the experience has marked a before and after, above all because it has given me much-needed hope, realizing that this medicine has worked for me, where so many others have not (or yes, but in a quite more limited way). Takiwasi has opened a door, and it is very clear to me that I must continue the work with the plants, in due time."

New research article
The Awajún leader Santiago Manuín, interviewed by the author, witnesses the recent diffusion, among a part of his people, of the conscious overlap between Ajútap/Arútam, the god of the traditional Jivaro indigenous religions, and Jesus Christ. This observation raises a reflection on the central presence of death in human life, and the different symbolic solutions that arise to cope with it, proposed, on one side, by these religions and, on the other side, by the capitalist/consumerist culture of the globalized world.

Workshops on emotional intelligence for children
In the month of February, in Takiwasi, we started an intervention program for children from 5 to 11 years of age, specifically for the children or relatives of center workers, with the aim of working on emotional intelligence so that they are able to identify their own emotions, manage them and promote better self-awareness. The program was led by the Takiwasi PIV's (Practitioners and Volunteers in the Department of Therapy) and consisted of 4 workshops, once a week, where artistic activities (art therapy) for managing emotions were addressed.

Takiwasi Center Online Courses
We want to invite you to enroll in our online courses:
- Introducción al modelo terapéutico Takiwasi:
11 pre-registered classes taught in Spanish by the therapeutic team of the Takiwasi Center. Topics such as Traditional Amazonian Medicine are addressed, including the presentation of specific techniques such as plant baths and purges, and the application of Western psychological approaches in the treatment of addictions, such as existential psychotherapies and the analysis of trans-generational inheritances.
-
Coherencias entre la iniciación cristiana y la iniciación amazónica: taught in Spanish by Dr. Jacques Mabit, course based on 5 pre-registered videos. The experience of the Takiwasi Center shows us that there are numerous and surprising points of coherence and convergence between the Christian faith and Amazonian shamanism (when correctly understood and practiced). This course attempts to highlight the relevance of bringing these two paths of knowledge closer together and articulating them appropriately in favor of opening new paths for the healing of the body, mind and spirit.
