Ep. 145 - Michal Scheffler - Ayahuasca, Bridge-Keeping, & Weaving the Word

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 145 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Michal Scheffler. Michal was introduced to me by our mutual friend Marta (who I interviewed in episode 16). Michal has led a very fascinating and full life. He was a DJ for many years and holds two degrees in psychology. His interest in consciousness led him to Latin America and ayahuasca where he spent time with different indigenous groups such as the Huni Kuin, Yawanawa, Shuar, as well as the Santo Daime church. We spoke about this journey and then what led him to other teachers such as the Colombian taitas, Andean traditions, and the Tubu nation of the Colombian Amazon. We spoke about the power of the word, storytelling, his journey into fatherhood, his involvement in the Imago community, and a lot more. I think Michal’s wisdom is very apparent and it comes through his word and presence. I was really happy to sit down and speak with Michal and hear his wisdom and I trust you all will gain much from him as well. Also if you wait until the end, Michal sings one of his songs that came to him when calling in his son, on the Andean-Amazonian story of Origin.

“Michal Scheffler (Sanken Koshi) is the founder and leader of IMAGO Community, a spiritual organization formally established in Brazil and USA, yet present across the Americas.

IMAGO stewards an altar that bridges the ancestral tools and wisdom of the Amazon and Andes into the new time.

While spending the last 11 years immersed in studying indigenous wisdom traditions, passing through a wide variety of diets and initiations led by the teachers of the jungle and the mountains, he predominantly trained in Brazil and Colombia.  The core of his offering is expressed through the weaving of the traditional chants of the Yawanawa nation with the ritual based on the geometry of word, song, story and dance.

While being guided by the teachings of the Law of Origin, Sanken Koshi has also walked a more formal path of university study. He carries two degrees in psychology and specializes in community building. He has observed that cultivating supportive community provides the integrity to create lasting shifts and benefit the individual process.

Fascinated by the reprogramming of consciousness, he adds a subtle academic approach to support the evolution and long-term benefits of the individuals and the collective.”

Ep. 31 - Imika Tarirú - Tubú, Ancestral Wisdom, Plant Medicine & The Word

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 31 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Imikā Tariru Bary Vera Kuary Baru. Imika comes from the Tubú nation in the Vaupes region of the Colombian Amazon, on the Apaporis river. I have worked with Imika over the last few years and I have a lot of respect for him and his teachings. I’ve spent quite a few nights in ceremony with him hearing Tubú stories and learning from Imika’s words. He carries a deep wisdom that is born from a beautiful tradition. I think voices like his are important in sharing and keeping alive and helping to, as he says, build a new maloka (ceremonial house), bridging traditions from all directions of the world. I think you all will gain a lot from listening to this talk, much as I did. And a big thank you to my friend Claude for translating this conversation, capturing the essence and beauty of Imika’s words, and opening the conversation to a much larger audience. You can also see my interview with him in episode 10 of the show. To view bonus material and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!

¡Hola a todos! El episodio 31 del programa está disponible. En este programa, hablé con mi amiga Imikā Tariru Bary Vera Kuary Baru. Imika proviene de la nación Tubú en la región del Vaupés de la Amazonía colombiana, en el río Apaporis. He trabajado con Imika en los últimos años y tengo mucho respeto por él y sus enseñanzas. He pasado varias noches en ceremonia con él escuchando historias de Tubú y aprendiendo de las palabras de Imika. Lleva una profunda sabiduría que nace de una hermosa tradición. Creo que voces como la suya son importantes para compartir y mantener vivas y ayudar, como él dice, a construir una nueva maloka (casa ceremonial), uniendo tradiciones de todas las direcciones del mundo. Creo que todos ganarán mucho escuchando esta charla, tanto como yo. Y un gran agradecimiento a mi amigo Claude por traducir esta conversación, capturar la esencia y la belleza de las palabras de Imika y abrir la conversación a una audiencia mucho más amplia. También puedes ver mi entrevista con él en el episodio 10 del programa. Para ver material adicional y conversaciones extendidas, consulte mi página de Patreon a continuación. ¡Que disfruta!

“Wisdom keeper, Ancestral Healer and spiritual guide of the Tubú Nation. Jaguars of the Yurupari and dancer. 

“I believe in the construction of a society associated with dance - the peak of knowledge and the maximum vehicle for healing, transmitted in stories. Within the dances, there are collective strategies that allow for a weaving and intersecting of paths as a way to create balance for humanity. The meaning  of dancing and listening to the stories is to be able to maintain the community healthy from within our differences.”

Imika was raised in community on the banks of the Apaporis River under the guidance of his father Hummugubu. His life in the urban context has not been easy, but in taking on the responsibility to share his knowledge with the purpose of collective healing, he has met a challenge that has brought positive results. Always ready to listen, Imika teaches by example in action, sharing freely and always ready to keep learning in this dizziness of life. Imika is the founder of the TUBÚ HɄMMɄRIMASA Urban Council and the creator of the SUARY project. These projects serve as ways to reunite the community and to interweave and color the paths of life, sharing and exchanging from simplicity, and in respect for the differences between us in daily life. They offer an alternative way of relating and a way to break down the barriers that are used to separate and classify humans.“


“Guardián de la Sabiduría, Sanador Ancestral y guía espiritual de la Nación Tubú. Jaguares del Yurupari y bailarina.

“Creo en la construcción de una sociedad asociada a la danza, cúspide del conocimiento y máximo vehículo de sanación, transmitida en historias. Dentro de las danzas, existen estrategias colectivas que permiten un tejido e intersección de caminos como una forma de crear equilibrio para la humanidad. El significado de bailar y escuchar las historias es poder mantener saludable a la comunidad desde nuestras diferencias.”

Imika se crió en comunidad a orillas del río Apaporis bajo la dirección de su padre Hummugubu. Su vida en el contexto urbano no ha sido fácil, pero al asumir la responsabilidad de compartir sus conocimientos con el propósito de la curación colectiva, ha enfrentado un desafío que ha traído resultados positivos. Siempre dispuesta a escuchar, Imika enseña con el ejemplo en acción, compartiendo libremente y siempre dispuesta a seguir aprendiendo en este vértigo de la vida. Imika es la fundadora del Ayuntamiento de TUBÚ HɄMMɄRIMASA y la creadora del proyecto SUARY. Estos proyectos sirven como formas de reunir a la comunidad y de entrelazar y colorear los caminos de la vida, compartiendo e intercambiando desde la sencillez y el respeto a las diferencias entre nosotros en la vida diaria. Ofrecen una forma alternativa de relacionarse y una forma de romper las barreras que se utilizan para separar y clasificar a los humanos ”.
