The Traditional Community of Amazonas Ecuador.

One of the most amazing Amazonas community that I encountered was a traditional community located in the Amazonas of Ecuador. This community of families living together taught me a lot about life. Real happiness and feeling rich is detached from the modern commodity of money. This community specifically in their way of living are encompassed by spirituality and consuming herbal medicine. I met the President of the community, Marina. This woman acts as the President of her family and is also the President of the communities surrounding the Amazonas of Ecuador. She is very intelligent as well as a spiritual leader. Once we met, we had an immediate connection. Her spiritual power is so strong that I felt like I could sense her energy surrounding me before and after the meeting.

As part of Marina’s position as the President, she organized a special event for the children where they received presents and boxes of gifts to promote their sense of togetherness, support and educational targets. I attended the ceremony of that day where approximately 200 people of the community and their children participated in celebrating the new foundation for the children. The community specialized in living spiritually while consuming herbal medicine, Ayahuasca ceremonies, prayer and living with nature.

Inside the jungle of the Amazonas, I have witnessed little children walking alone, in a path that me as an adult wouldn’t be able to remember to get in or out. The children have the talent inherently in them to live with nature and to cross the river by foot, without parents, while knowing the obstacles in front of them. It is amazing to watch this community, this special community, living with happiness, close to God, and spirituality. I was interested in their food consumption. The food is the fuel for the body, spirit and mind. They consume basic food that is not processed and has no additional preservatives, as opposed to the western modern world.  The fruits and the vegetables are taken directly from fresh trees and the ground and are sold by vendors coming to the community, as you can see with the pictures and videos that I have uploaded here.

I was fortunate to gain the trust and the hospitality of the community. Marina invited me to her home. She blessed me with gifts. I carried the dream catcher that she had prepared for me with a blessing of spiritual strength, contributing to the special way of designing the dream catcher and the materials. The materials are from trees and feathers of birds, which were blessed by her. Her community specializes in ceremonies, as well as selling their artisanal jewelry, and pottery, all hand-made and custom made.  In our store, you can find custom-made dream catchers, designed and blessed spiritually, for your purchase.

Spiritual hug and great hospitality, thank you.
