Christina - Sacred Ceremony

Cristina Mendoza is a traditional Amazonian curandera who is well-versed in the ethnobotany of her jungle and mountain regions of Northern Peru. She currently is engaged in a reforestation campaign in her home area in Northwestern Peru, teaching children and adults from several continents as well as nearby community members about the importance of sustaining native plants,trees, and ecosystems.

rich traditions of her people's curing heritages, she studies yoga and
meditation, and is well-read on a diverse range of subjects. Her library
includes teachings of the Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle, and numerous rigorous
naturopathic texts, which she is currently absorbing as she is studying to
become a natural therapies specialist.

Cristina is approachable and humble, while still carrying an immense aura of
radiance and healing power. This combination of qualities endears her to all
who work or play with her. She is non-hierarchal, challenging us to break away
from the tired model of "guru and follower", and yet commands authority in a
soft Yin model of pure sisterly and motherly love and compassion during healing
ceremonies. Due to these traits, she has been nicknamed by many as "the Amma of
the Americas."

Sessions with Cristina have been described as "satsang with the vine" and dubbed
"yinahuasca medicina." Her singing voice is sublime, velvety, and ultimately
sustaining long past when the last icaro is sung.
