Tsachila Shaman

Shaman Interviews from South America

This is a series of interviews with shamans and healers. I currently have more than 10 interviews with Yachaks, Yatiris, Pones and other “shamans” from Bolivia and Ecuador.

In 2017 I began filming interviews and other content at the witches market in La Paz, Bolivia. In 2019 I had the opportunity to film several more interviews in Ecuador. I was fortunate to speak with men and women from the Aymara, Kichwa and Tsachila cultures, as well as others.

This is an on going series with many more video interviews still to be edited. I am also pursuing more opportunities to film indigenous healers from around the world.
