About this centro

Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual is a small Shipibo healing center founded in 2009 by maestro Ricardo Amaringo. Its work is rooted in the Shipibo dietary tradition and the icaros that come with it. Group sizes are deliberately small.

Nihue Rao runs short retreats and longer dieta residencies, and is well-documented in the published literature on contemporary Shipibo medicine practice.
