A truly independent film about a truly interdependent Shaman. :) A place where woman centered power is thriving. All together and for everyone. Imagine that. Simple, direct and sensitive. It’s refreshing to be reminded of what good journalism looks like, which is staying out of the way so the story can tell itself. Great camera work and sound. The music tracks actually enhanced the storyline. Brava! Many thanks..
I'm so happy to see a film made by a woman about a female shaman. This is very important. Beautiful work -- I love the Shipibo and the medicine and have benefited greatly from their songs, the plants and the deep tradition that I hope is able to survive.
Yes, a beautiful piece I loved this so much as well, created by a woman about a woman. Truly incredible. Thank you again. I have shared with many amazing friends and communities who have greatly benefited from the energy of these plants, and this work.
I'm only 20 minutes in. This film needs to be seen by more people. This is an exceptional work of art. I am fascinated by ayahuasca, shamanism, healing, the amazon, culture, and anthropology. This is literally the exact type of documentary I love. So glad I came upon an ad on instagram for this. Will certainly watch the whole film. Thank you to the filmmaker!
If more people went out of their body and experienced them selves as animals they would better understand shamanism and the connection to everything when the self is trancesended as one. There is however places we wish not to see. Mind is the illusion or the trap, to the greater extent of what we are capable when we merge with the soul.
This is true and I appreciate seeing this authentic Shaman woman in her natural surroundings and I especially loved seeing how she gathered the herbs for the medicine.❤
Beautiful film letting the jungle sing and the people be as they are with the soft voice over. The ending when the man bowed in reverence towards the shaman was deeply felt. Thank you for sharing.
I am going to the Aya Madré Healing Center in Iquitos this November 24th 2024 for an extended plant medicine retreat. I had seen the movie ‘’ The song that calls you home ‘’ but I am now thrilled to watch this ‘’ She is a shaman ‘’ documentary couple days before I take off this this plant medicine journey with Maestra Estella. Thank you for sharing this. Deep love. Marc
Estella is a very special lady... I had my very first cup of medicine with her in 2016 right before she started her center and she was still dealing with her abusive husband. So lovely to see how she is doing now! And shedding a short insight on the issue with the younger generations to continue down this path. Thank you for bringing her story and work in such a nice, yet raw, but very clear way.🙏💚
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. She spoke about him a bit with us (and I mentioned it in the doc as well, of course) - but it's interesting that you were there during that period. She was very gracious in sharing herself with us.
@victorialynncarroll Well I met her at Dreamglade. She didn't had her center yet. So this is a huge change to see. I heard she opened her own place from the people of the other center and to see it now after all those years, amazing! Wishing you good luck with your projects and journey 😉
Did she heal her abuse trauma ? I would like to do ayahuasca but I delay it for years because I don't want to do it with a man. I know that there are a lot of abuse and spiritual attacks while your field is open.
@@sabrinad3679 That's part of the job... Those things can not really be avoided and are not a big problem when you sit in a safe space with the right person. Estella is a good place to go if you don't want to drink with a man.
i like the style of your film. you have said everything that needs to be said with the simplicity of the filming and directness of your words. i congratulate you very much on this masterpiece. big bravo
Takes me back to my time in the Peruvian Jungle, where I sat with a 4th generation plant medicine healer for many (alternating) nights..............These Shipibo men and women were truly Curanderos......Healers, who use all manner of plant medicine, not just Aya, to assist people. Such a dramatically difference approach and result from sitting with the Ayahuasca Tourism which has become so prevalent in the Amazon (young people from all over the planet who have very limited experience with the medicine, yet charge a premium to serve Aya to people)..................so great to see this doc - hope it reaches all the right people • such a powerful medicine, at a time when the world truly needs it's insights....................best wishes from the Canadian Wilderness.............
Stunning in very way. Great cinematography and a nice balance of vistas and story telling. Also a great narrating voice. Beautiful, truly something to be proud of. God bless.
I have been on my own healing journey for the last 12 years. I have been training under two very powerful woman shamans. They have taught me how to reconnect with my heart, soul and innate power through shamanism and love after half a lifetime of suffering from every kind of trauma. I never would use ayahuasca because I don’t need to, but I understand those that try to help themselves through the use of it. I also found it interesting when you said that they burn the plastic and it cleanses the center. This is a fine example of how our power of intention and our perceptions are so very important. We can also heal beautiful Mother Earth and every living being through shamanism, if we can survive the breakdown of the old systems and the people who want to power over people and everything else. Intention, knowing ourselves, living from our heart center and intuition and understanding we are all one is so important in the leveling up of consciousness. Wonderful movie and well-made!!! 🪶🩵
This was awesome! The opening felt like I was really tripping. The end ceremony was very intense. I need to recover. Also, her house surprised me to be honest. Her life is very interesting and not what I expected.
Stunningly shot and peacefully directed, this is a piece of art. Thankyou for sharing the earth magic of this powerful woman. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
O my i was transported 10 min in...and the profound nontalking left us to delight to the sounds of life..to O to walk barefoot on Earth ..thank you for this exquisite film. Your pur voice and delivery is excellent..I'm watching this again ❤
Thank you to the sacred plants for their wisdom, may all hearts be open. Prayers to the wisdom keepers Estrella and all those who so lovingly care for those who seek healing.
First, let me say to you that this is most wonderful documentary on ayahuasca. I firsthand understand the Danger that females Shamans can be in.May your beautiful Shaman be save
This is beautiful work Victoria. This deserves to much attention, as more people need to see and this very ancient tradition, and to open the eyes of Western cultures to the incredible aspects of psychedelics like Ayahuasca.
I have done Ayahausca several times. I sat with Shamans of the Colombian tribe at Rythmia in Costa Rica. If you should have an interest in expanding your mindfulness I would sit with a shamans with lineage and experience. This documentary is very well done, to show what a real shaman's life is.
Well done, the essence of Shipibo and the life of a Shaman was captured really well, i enjoyed this so much, also happy to see a woman creating a study on a female Shaman, what a revolution, thank you medicinia
I’ve just shared this with my friends and I was only 10 seconds in..the audio and you just know this is a dope production 🙏🏻. I’m being called in again by the medicine 🕉️. A big thank you is in order 👌🏻
Thank you so much for sharing this content on TH-cam! This was an impeccable job. Today I was bombarded with the article of the banana sold for millions of dollars and felt a sense of hopelessness. Then I stumbled upon this truly inspiring gem and a work of art. Thank you Estela for your work and your legacy.
I just finished watching it, this is such a wonderful documentary, simple, beautiful I love the voice in off, just enough information, we can really perceive the energy of the whole experience. Im Peruvian born in the capital, I had a very westernised upbringing and a few years ago during my spiritual path that Pachamama and the master plants started calling me back home. I have to say that my life has transformed completely. I have done Ayahuasca before in the Andes of Peru and next year I will be going to the rainforest, medicine is calling again. Thank you for creating this wonderful masterpiece, may the medicine keep spreading with integrity, reverence and humility. And for the ones feeling the call… may you find what you are looking for ❤
superb! 🙏❤ superbly narrated, superb camera, superb editing, superb soundtrack, superb soundmixing! The film breathes the spirit of Aya. Thank you for the medicin 🙏❤Thanks to the shamans for their healing 🙏❤ and thank you Ayahuasca from the bottom of my heart
I experienced a spirit in my home 2 nights ago and i always read africam books about shamans etc so to see this on my feed is truely like a remarkable sign 🙏🏾✨️ Thankyou
Great job. Very insightful. I would be interested to have heard how the participants in the ceremony at the end integrated their various experiences with the medicine.
Thank you! Yes - I debated about what to include - in the end, I felt like there were a lot of films & videos that shared people's experiences, so I chose to keep those out of this film.
What a blessing to watch this beautiful documentary. Watching from Johannesburg South Africa. Victoria, please kindly share how I can get hold of Estella, I would really love to visit her healing center.
I very much enjoyed watching your film. It was presented in the perfect tone and stillness. I have sat through 4 cerenonies in the US and plan to travel to the amazon sometime in the near future for the immersive relationship with the medicine. Thank you for your contribution ❤️
Grateful🙏 Being a Shaman myself I understand everyones ilments And the reason or thing that sparked their interest or reasoning for coming to the healing ceremony,just by reading their countenances. Thank You Source for giving me these powers 🙏🎁🪬🥥🔒🗡️
Thank you for creating this. This is very beautiful. I connected to it in a very intense way. This was done exceptionally well. It was raw, sincere, serene and sincere. I felt like I was right there. Many of us don’t get the chance to witness some of the most purest and profound experiences that exist in this in the world. I definitely feel the shaman needed to send a message so that all of her eyes can see and that our spirits could feel…thank you for sharing her story and her message of healing.
Woow what amazing documentary,i wished it is never end .all the folks about Shamans were different from what I have seen in this honest filming,thank you very very much for your efforts that shows a different point of view,all love and peace ❤
brilliant work, it takes a lot to be a shaman, it is sad that her fellow shamans hold negative intetions towards her, my shaman as well has stage 4 cancer and said that it was spiritual attack from other shamans. may I ask what exactly the camera + mic you used? you're voice over was flawless. I genuinely appreceate the help as I'm intrested in making movies.
Thanks a lot for the comment! I'll help Victoria answer the technical details, I'm the cameraman who worked with her on this. We used a Sony FX9 and it somehow survived the very harsh environment: we had no reliable access to electricity (the closest point was like 25 min away on a brutal motorbike ride) so keeping the batteries running was rough, 95-100% humidity and temperatures in the 30-35°C, rain, sand, bugs and no solid structure for storage. it was quite an adventure :) as for mics, I had a NTG-2 on the camera, and I don't remember exactly what Sara (our sound engineer) was using on the boom, but I think it was a Sennheiser 416 + a couple of wireless mics. she also had a lot of challenges with the environment, and we were quite shocked by the complexity of the ceremonies (sound-wise) and having only one main mic made it interesting to edit!
@@cedriclarvoire thank you Cédric and great equipments. I'm sorry you went through all that with the production especeally working in areas that doesn't provide electricity. I like how everyone appeared at the documentary were relaxed and natural, that in itself is not easy, and both of you and Victoria did a brilliant job at creating ease despite the conditions that you went through in the jungle. Please keep up the great work.
Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤ I enjoyed watching it. The feminine touch and approach makes it very palpable. You captured the spirit of the Amazon, the medicine and the beautiful Shipibo tribe. Good to see a shipibo Maestra in charge ♥️🌱💫🐆🔥
Very beautiful. We can learn so much from indigenous people and i pray that they can live in freedom, peace and connection with nature. And that they get respected and heard.
brilliant indeed! thanx a lot for this meditative n soothing film! it is not easy nowadays to get yourself sortet out in our modern world order. going back to the roots is the only way out of our misery i believe. with this film you show this in a kind n pure manner. sweet. greetings :)
Thank you so much, i am watching such documentary for the first time and heard about shaman for the first time too, i believe in spiritual healing, psychic surgery and spirit world. i believe in it.
This was an amazing experience for ME, and I cannot fathom what it must have been like for to be there in person! Truly incredible! What an incredible journey !!! I may someday go and sit with them, as well. Wow…. Just WOW. I’m a Reiki Master and Shamanism fascinates me!
I had my first Ayahuasca experience with Shavora! Also women. Omg so powerful, their whole energy & voice. Look them up! 🔥 So grateful for this sacred medicine
Wow! This is a beautiful piece of artwork. This woman is the embodiment of what it means to be feminine. My statement has nothing to do with sex or gender. My statement is purely speaking about human energy.
If u are foreign to the rainforest, please do everyone a favor and chase other pursuits. Western people have no business claiming to be able to take people on an authentic ayahuasca ceremony/journey. ✨🙏✨👌🏾❣️🌹❣️💖💝💖
My vision showed me that my spirit animal is the sacred hamster. It showed me how to contemplate life whilst nibbling on sacred sunflower seeds. In my mind I saw it running on the sacred exercise wheel of time. We are all that hamster; running eternally; nibbling, nibbling, until the end of time. Oha! It is so!

I like how everyone appeared at the documentary were relaxed and natural, that in itself is not easy, and both of you and Victoria did a brilliant job at creating ease despite the conditions that you went through in the jungle. Please keep up the great work.
@@victorialynncarroll Thank you Victoria, please keep up the great work.
That's why I want a woman as a shaman. Because ego's men create destruction. They claim to be shamans but still live in shadow
Reddit brought me here

Such a great film 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
I enjoyed watching it. The feminine touch and approach makes it very palpable. You captured the spirit of the Amazon, the medicine and the beautiful Shipibo tribe.
Good to see a shipibo Maestra in charge ♥️🌱💫🐆🔥
I truly appreciate you watching!
Very beautiful. We can learn so much from indigenous people and i pray that they can live in freedom, peace and connection with nature. And that they get respected and heard.
Very interesting!

This was an amazing experience for ME, and I cannot fathom what it must have been like for to be there in person! Truly incredible! What an incredible journey !!! I may someday go and sit with them, as well. Wow…. Just WOW. I’m a Reiki Master and Shamanism fascinates me!
Thank you so much for watching!
I had my first Ayahuasca experience with Shavora! Also women. Omg so powerful, their whole energy & voice. Look them up! 🔥
So grateful for this sacred medicine
I will - thank you!
Thank you
Thank you
Super reportage.
Thank you!
Wow! This is a beautiful piece of artwork.
This woman is the embodiment of what it means to be feminine. My statement has nothing to do with sex or gender. My statement is purely speaking about human energy.
I really appreciate your thoughtful comment!
Great watch! Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for watching.
This was beautiful, the song at the end put me to sleep 😴 💤
Ha, that's the ...opposite of most I've heard from!
@victorialynncarroll that's crazy, I wonder what the intention of that song is? Do you happen to know by any chance?
excellent film, Irake! ❤
Thank you!
Thank you. That was truly beautiful.
I really appreciate you watching - thank you!
@@victorialynncarroll I bought you some coffees. Your sound recordist was incredible!
¡Hermoso trabajo! Sólo el Altísimo, el arte y la medicina pueden explicarse a sí mismos. Buena pinta, Victoria.
Thank you!
Fantastic movie, really enjoyed it, heading to Costa Rica, thank you for this.
Wishing you the best!
I want to be a shaman. Thanks for creating this.
Thank you for watching
No, you really don’t.
If u are foreign to the rainforest, please do everyone a favor and chase other pursuits. Western people have no business claiming to be able to take people on an authentic ayahuasca ceremony/journey. ✨🙏✨👌🏾❣️🌹❣️💖💝💖
@@asherasher1111 lol
It's not something our ego decides. The plant chooses us.

Beautiful film💟
It takes me back to Iqitos and brings back memories
That's lovely
My vision showed me that my spirit animal is the sacred hamster. It showed me how to contemplate life whilst nibbling on sacred sunflower seeds. In my mind I saw it running on the sacred exercise wheel of time. We are all that hamster; running eternally; nibbling, nibbling, until the end of time. Oha! It is so!
