A family, a jungle, a living tradition

Madre Selva is a healing & art center established in 2020 by Maestro Moisés and his family, in the jungle near Pucallpa, Peru.

Curandero · Visionary artist · Founder

Maestro Moisés

Moisés grew up surrounded by the Amazon rainforest and carries the mestizo lineage and tradition of plant medicine. With decades of training and experience with the sacred medicinal plants, visionary art and icaros, he guides every dieta personally — choosing each guest's master plant ally and offering shamanic coaching and integration.

Vision

Healing people, healing the forest

We envision a world where ancestral Amazonian wisdom is respected and preserved, and where every person who comes to us leaves reconnected with their own nature — and with Nature itself.

Mission

Holding the tradition with integrity

To offer safe, authentic plant medicine dietas guided by the mestizo lineage, to give back to the jungle with intention, and to protect the land, the animals and the cultural heritage that make this medicine possible.

CEO of madre selva, maestro curandero & visionary artist

Moisés, born near Iquitos, Peru, grew up immersed in the Amazon rainforest's rich shamanic traditions, influenced by his family's Cocama lineage. Trained as a visionary artist under Pablo Amaringo at the Usko Ayar Amazon School of Painting, he developed a deep bond with nature. Guided by the jungle, he honed his expertise in plant medicine with respected maestros, eventually founding Madre Selva Resort, a centre for art, healing and connection. Together with his partner Naomi, he integrates art, ceremonies and music, to bridge communities with the sacred plants of the Amazon.

Maestra, organizer-management and sales

Naomi's spiritual journey led her to self-healing and a deep connection with sacred plant medicines, inspiring her to integrate art and ceremony in a sacred way. Trained in the Shipibo and Huni Kuin traditions, she shares the energy of the plants in ceremonies, continually deepening her studies. Meeting Moisés in their medicine work, they united their visions, moving to Peru to balance feminine and masculine energies. Together, they honor the call of the plants, guiding others to recognize the ultimate medicine within theirselves.
