Casa del Colibri ~ The Spirit of the Jungle
Join our purpose-driven initiative dedicated to honoring the sacred master plants of the Amazon Rainforest. Guided by sustainability, conservation, and ancestral traditions, we personally source and create plant spirit medicines with deep reverence for their origins and stewards. Every offering is crafted with care and intention, fostering authentic connections and meaningful engagements with these sacred allies. Our mission is to ensure that these rare gifts of nature remain accessible while respecting their profound wisdom and the communities who protect them.
In the heart of the rainforest, this giant stands tall, commanding attention with her robust energy. Are you ready to harness her potent, energetic shield, providing unwavering protection for those attuned to the world's unseen forces?
According to the wisdom of the Huni Kuin indigenous people, Cumaru is more than a tree – it's a living testament to endurance, earning the title of the "everlasting wood". They affirm her power, as solid and unwavering as her essence. As whispers of many enchantments swirl around this arboreal sentinel, her inner strength resonates with spiritual fortification, a shield against the malevolent gaze of the evil eye.
Basking in the embrace of sunlight, this leafy giant reaches towering heights of 120 feet, an arboreal testament to resilience. Aged beyond the span of centuries, her essence carries the weight of time and wisdom, rooted in the fertile soil of ancient tradition.
Step into the realm of Shiwawaku's feminine spirit, distinct from the vigorously masculine Shihuahuaco counterpart. She dances with the breeze, embodying a different facet of nature's essence, her abundance and accessibility making her a substitute for the genuine Shihuahuaco in dieting and offerings.
Dipteryx odorata, affectionately called Shiwawaku, Cumaru or Iron Cumaru, aptly named for its unyielding wood, channels its energy toward the lower chakras, fostering a profound sense of grounding. Enveloped in the synergy of Cielo Caapi, a symphony of perfect harmony, this elixir promises an adventure into the heart of enchanted protection.
Are you ready to embrace the enigmatic embrace of Shiwawaku? Experience the essence that weaves ancient wisdom with modern mystique.
At Casa del Colibri, we believe in the intelligence of plants and the part their gifts play in our health and well being. Committed to being ethical and respectful stewards of the jungle and it's tribal communities, we hold the highest of sustainability standards while producing exceptional quality rainforest botanicals and offering hand made indiginous goods and ceremonial supplies. We hold dear these medicinal herbs, saving seed for future plantings and protecting them for future generations.
Plant Spirit Medicine is a form of spiritual remediation rooted in ancestral traditions that combines classical Chinese~ Five Element theory, the indigenous practice of calling upon plant spirits, and the Animism religion (the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena.) Plant Spirit Medicine recognizes that like humans, plants have spirit, and their spirit has the unique capacity to touch and rebuild the spirit of a human being and restore us to our own essential nature. Our ancestors lived this way–-an existence in which there is no illusion of separation from nature. They would make friends with the spirits of nature and call upon them for restoration and other everyday affairs. This ancient practice was remembered, revitalized, and reintroduced by the late teacher and healer, Eliot Cowan, and has proven to be as effective in today’s world as in times past.
Modern people are once again turning to plants for guidance and for their ability to regenerate spirit.
