Why did Shipibo healer Lucila choose Marusa for a guest struggling with fear and anxiety?

Most people know about ayahuasca. Few have heard of Marusa.

According to Lucila, different plants are traditionally worked with for different people and different situations.

In this story, she shares how she worked with a guest who arrived carrying intense fear and anxiety.

Rather than treating everyone the same, the Shipibo approach is personalized.

The question isn’t What is the strongest plant?

It’s What does this person need?

Had you ever heard of Marusa before?

💬 “Different plants are traditionally used for different people and different needs.” — Shipibo healer Lucila

When most people think of Amazonian medicine, they think of ayahuasca.

But according to Lucila, that’s only one plant among many.

In the Shipibo tradition, healing is personalized. Different plants are traditionally worked with depending on the person and what they are experiencing.

That’s why Lucila often says that healing isn’t about finding the strongest plant.

It’s about finding the right plant.

🌿 If you could learn about one medicinal plant from the Amazon, which would you choose?

“People arrive carrying things they have hold on to for years, and leaves completely different”— Shipibos shaman Lucila

While every journey is different, one of the most beautiful parts of this work is witnessing what happens when people finally have the space to slow down, listen, and reconnect with themselves.
For Lucila, this is why she continues the path she dedicated her life to learning.
Not to give people an experience.
But to help them remember who they are beneath everything they’ve been carrying.
What is something you’ve outgrown, but still find yourself carrying?

💬 “Many people come looking for healing. My vision is to help them go deeper.”
For Lucila, this work has never been about giving people an experience.
It’s about supporting those who arrive carrying physical, emotional, or mental burdens. And helping them move beyond what they thought was possible.
Over the years, she has welcomed people from all over the world, each with their own story, their own struggles, and their own reasons for coming.
Her vision is simple:
To meet each person where they are.
To listen deeply. And to help them find the healing they are truly seeking.
This is the wisdom she has dedicated her life to learning from the plants, and the purpose that continues to guide her work today.

Amazonian Steam Sauna

One pot. A blend of jungle plants. Generations of healing knowledge.

While many people associate Amazonian healing only with ayahuasca, the reality is that the tradition includes countless medicinal plants, each with its own purpose.

Today, Lucila is preparing a traditional plant sauna for a guest who recently arrived at the center needing extra support.

Leaves, barks, roots, and medicinal trees are slowly boiled together. Once ready, the steam is received by the body as part of a traditional healing practice passed down through generations of Shipibo families.

For Lucila, healing is not found in a single plant.

It’s found in relationships.Relationships with the plants.With the forest.With the knowledge passed down by those who came before.

This is one small glimpse into a living tradition that continues in the Peruvian Amazon today.

🌿 Had you ever heard of a plant sauna before?

What if your bath was made from medicinal plants instead of soap? 🌿
Before guests receive ceremonies, Lucila and her family often prepare baths using a blend of medicinal plants gathered from the forest and surrounding gardens.

Basil, mucura, chamomile, piñón colorado, achiote, rosemary, and other plants are slowly cooked together and infused into the water.

For generations, Shipibo families have worked with these plants as part of their healing traditions.

Some are traditionally used to help people feel more grounded.Some are used to support the body.Others are prepared for those carrying stress, nervousness, emotional heaviness, or simply needing to reconnect with themselves.

While many people have heard of ayahuasca, few realize that Amazonian healing includes hundreds of different plants—each with its own role, teachings, and relationship to the people who work with them.

This is one small glimpse into that tradition.

🌿 If you could spend one day learning from an Indigenous healer, what would you ask them?

“I had to make a sacrifice, to fulfill my dream” — Shipibo Shaman Lucila

To learn the medicine, Lucila had to make a sacrifice, three years away from her children. A very painful decision.
This is why she mentions that this path is not for everyone.
It requires discipline, commitment and deep decisions.
She knew if she didn’t follow this path, who would heal her children when they needed it?

And while her father was still strong, she wanted to learn everything she could from him.
So she chose to continue this path with dedication and trust, for her children, her family and for the generations before her.

And through it all, she was supported by her partner Augusto. Standing beside her as she followed her path.

For Lucila, this was never just a dream.
It was a responsibility.

Could you make a sacrifice like this to follow your purpose?

💬“During ceremony, I had that voice in my hands.”
— Tharusha

The voice of doubt. The voice that questioned every decision, every intention, every step forward.

When it finally appeared in ceremony, she thought the answer would be simple:let it go.

But what came instead was an unexpected lesson.
Not everything we struggle with needs to be removed.
Sometimes healing is learning how to build a new relationship with the parts of ourselves we’ve been fighting for years.

What if the goal isn’t to silence your inner critic...but to understand it?

Thank you, Tharusha, for sharing your experience and trusting us to be part of your journey. 🤍🌿

A new season begins at Mai Niti 🌿
Today, guests from around the world arrive in the Peruvian Amazon to spend time with Maestra Lucila and her family.

For Lucila it’s more than hosting a retreat.
It’s an opportunity to share her culture and knowledge she has dedicated her life to learning.
Knowledge passed down through generations of Shipibo healers.

Each person arrives with their own intention—
to heal, to learn, to reconnect, or simply to experience a different way of life.

For the next few months, we’ll share this journey together.
Welcome to the jungle. Welcome to Mai Niti 🤍
