Shipibo Style Retreat for the Black Community

---

 Adorable Earth Angel is the director of Black Condor Tribe. She is a sacred musician, energy healer, ceremonialist, and organizer of healing courses, rituals, and retreats for over 15 years. Adorable is dedicated to creating safe, trauma-informed spaces for Black and BIPOC individuals to come together for healing and liberation.

Adorable's journey began in food justice advocacy and teaching community nutrition, but she later integrated yoga, energy healing, Reiki, and indigenous rituals into her practice. Her extensive travels to sacred lands and studies with various healers revealed a significant lack of representation for Black people in these spaces. In response, she founded Black Condor Tribe to provide accessible, affordable, and safe healing environments for the Black community.

For the past 11 years, Adorable has been on a profound journey of purification and initiation among healers. She is currently engaged in an ongoing Sama and Shipibo language study with the Shipibo grandmothers of Jakon Rate in Peru. Recently, she has begun a dieta study and apprenticeship with Shipibo Maestras, deepening her commitment to becoming a skilled facilitator.

 Born in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, Nicholas "Nico" Carter began his deep-dive when in 2014 he left the US and spent many years living as a nomadic artist to explore cultural memory and Earth-based spirituality throughout the American continents. Years later he was unexpectedly struck with a period of severe chronic illness and was consequently ushered into an intense, years-long process of healing and recovery—a process that has profoundly shaped and informed his life path.

Nico's ancestors come from West Africa (Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana), England, and Ireland—he is the result of various kinds of ethnic mixing over different scales of time throughout the continental United States and beyond. The study of Amazonian plant medicine in the Shipibo-Konibo tradition has been, and continues to be, a central part of his life. He has been a student of Manuela’s since 2015, now offering his skills to Asociación Jakon Rate in the areas of development, communication, and preparation and integration support. His practice in these areas is primarily informed by somatic and trauma-informed training and principles. 

 Farhana is a Dominican / Indian birthed on Bantu Lands — South Africa.

She began self healing from a young age by decolonizing belief systems, working through gender justice, climate action and studying communications as a method to better bridge value across technology. In 2019 She began a podcast, offering circles, retreats, djing medicinal music that later called her to the jungle in 2021 to continue listening directly from the source.

As a medicine woman, she is living in devotional prayer to a unified world, expanding consciousness in cultural diversity and the role in safe keeping our earth for generations to come.

She offers ancestral healing and guidance led by her Taino Spiritual Based practices, and collaborates with fellow jungle women through cacao farms on her platform CURA.

Farhana is a student of the Masterplants and currently a guest on Shipibo Konibo lands of Pucallpa as a facilitator under the guidance of The Mahua elders at Jakon Rate.

She believes her resistance to current systems is the message for everyone to active their own awakening and find value in the connection to this earth. Gracias a Oni / Ayahuasca / Nixi Pae for gifting her this memory and all our relatives for building this dream together.
