THE TEACHING TEAM:
Instructor and
Maestra of the tradition: Ixtoii Paloma Cervantes
The Curanderismo
Tradition of Mexico is the Ancient way of bringing the body, mind, emotions,
and soul back into a state of balance. Customarily, an elder Curandera(o)
teaches the tradition in oral form. Ixtoii Paloma Cervantes is an elder,
instructor, or “Maestra” of the Curanderismo Tradition and
also a full-time
Curandera. She was born and raised in Mexico into the tradition. She started
working full-time as a Curandera in 1986. Then, 12 years later, in 1998, she
moved to California, where she kept her practice and started to teach Mexican
Shamanism or Curanderismo and other spiritual modalities. Now, not only does
she teach in California but also in other states and countries. This workshop
in Arlington, Virginia, offers a rare chance to learn directly from her, as
these teachings are not available online and are part of an oral tradition
meant to be shared responsibly.
Teacher's
Assistant: Jenny Perez, Curandera
Jenny is a graduate
Curandera of Paloma Cervantes at Ixtoii Institute of Shamanism and
Curanderismo. She works as a full-time Curandera in Arlington, VA.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Paloma is a Mexican Shaman who believes that "medicine plants" are
helpful to some people only when used properly in ceremonies. The use of any
consciousness-expanding plant or animal medicines should only be used with the
strict and loving guidance of an experienced facilitator. She does not allow
the use of any plants, brews, ceremonial tobacco, recreational drugs, alcohol,
cannabis, etc. in her workshops or healing ceremonies. Please do not use these
before or during her events and services. If you do so, you will be asked to
leave the event immediately and without a refund. For medicinal plant or animal
medicine guidance, please arrange for a private consultation to discuss your
particular needs and expectations.
