Celia’s Numinous Ways
‘I began my journey with the master plants over twenty-five years ago, guided by Maestro Javier Arevalo. Through his teaching, I received seven different plants for deep dietas, each a journey of transformation. After completing one dieta, I would rest for a month to allow its teachings to settle before beginning the next.
Throughout this path, I came to know the spirits of Ayahuma, Chirisanango, Arrozacha, Chiwawako, and Chuchuhuasi—each offering unique challenges and profound healing. Some dietas were gentle; others were demanding, but all carried essential lessons for walking the path of medicine.
Today, I continue to work with these sacred plants and to share their wisdom. Together with my son Alessio, I conduct Ayahuasca ceremonies for Numinous Ways retreats in Peru, helping participants encounter the mystery and healing power of the Numinous through the traditional Shipibo ways.’
