knowledge through dreams.

Manuel Huaya was a great sumiruna
who travelled about in his boat
healing people everywhere using
ayahuasca and medicinal plants.

The concept expressed in this
painting is that however our life
unfolds and whatever our destiny
might be, we are all born in
absolute perfection. We are
innocent when we come into the
world and have no guile or deceits.

12. Ondas de la Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is one of the most
remarkable gifts from the plant realm
as it contains chemicals identical to
the neurotransmitters found in the
human brain.
