The list of shamans (curanderos) is coming next and they are the most powerful we can find. There will be approximately 15 different curanderos/shamans giving presentations (all are translated into English). During the Conference Presentations you will have ample opportunities to hear the many shamans speaking alone as well as in panel discussions. It is during this time that you will get a sense of which healer you would like to be in Ceremony with, especially during the question and answer times. There are three evenings set aside for you to be in Ceremony with the shaman - curandero or your choice. All Ceremonies are held outside of Iquitos, either up or downriver or way out on the Iquitos to Nauta highway and then a short 15 minute walk into the various Compounds. Transport is provided both to the location and returning to Iquitos the following morning.
This year we have the ability to greatly
streamline the Presentations. We have an ¨fm transmitter¨that covers
500 meters circumstance. We have hired a professional translator from
Lima, Peru; a woman with years of experience in Ceremony as well. She
speaks 6 languages and will be translating the Spanish Presentations to
English and English to Spanish in the moment via the FM Transmittor. So
it is necessary that each of you purchase a small FM radio, one in
which you can change the channels manually. You will also need a small
set of earphones. In the previous years we had an excellent translator
as well but it really slowed things down having to listen to Spanish
shamans speaking, then having the translator repeating in spanish after
every paragraph. So this year and for the following Conferences to
come, translation will be ¨simultaneous!¨, streamlining things and
giving the Presentors much more time to explain the points of view.
