We work with various medicine people (shamans) who have trained by different tribes and lineages. There are many ways to work with the different plant medicines and different tribes have different settings or forms they work with the plants. At Vikara you will get to experience a few different forms at one retreat. All of our medicine people have gone through years of trainings and have conducted countless of ceremonies before joining our center. They are very experienced and all of them have the blessings from the elders to share the different medicines we work with. Apart from having the ancestral knowledge many of our facilitators also have a deep understanding in psychology and various therapy methods. This is very useful to help with the integration process before and after the ceremonies.
