“Other Worlds:
A Journey Into The Heart of Shipibo Shamanism”
A Documentary by Jan Kounen: 75 Minutes followed by
discussion with Sitaramaya

After a short introduction, we will present the highly appraised
documentary, leading us into the heart of Shipibo shamanism: "Kestembetsa is a
Shipibo-Konibo Shaman, who enabled me to experience Shamanism from the
inside. There are 45,000 Shipibo Konibos living together along the Amazon River
in Peru. Kestembetsa is a spiritual guide of the Shipibo Konibos. Kestembetsa enabled us to film a summer solstice ceremony, which lasted for three days and three nights. This
traditional celebration has never been recorded on film, and justly so. It has not
occurred for 70 years and has obviously been seen by very few ‘non-Indians.’
Using night-vision cameras, we were able to immortalize these unique moments.” - Jan Kounen

Sitaramaya has been apprenticing with Kestembetsa for a number of years.
