ABOUT THE FACILITATORS
Daniela Riojas is a curandera, educator, medicine keeper, musician, and artist originally from the frontera of Tejas y Mexico, currently based in Topanga, CA, traveling internationally. Her Indigenous ancestry is connected to The Coahuiltecans of northern Mexico as well as the Mexica. As a curandera, she communes with Mother Nature and a lexicon of plants, animals, and energies through ancestral practices of channeling and meditation. She has undergone extensive trainings and Master Plant dietas with Indigenous elders who have initiated her into the sacred practice of facilitation and healing in ceremonial space.
She has been under the guidance of elders in Nayarit Mexico (Richie and Xochitl of Nawake Bucerias) as well as elders and curandero/as of the jungles of Peru who are Cocama (Gran Maestra Aime Vargas Davila), Shipibo (Maestra Bawan Kate), Ashaninka (Maestro Miguel Charini) and Mestizo (Maestro Camara Ampi Shirapa). For years, Daniela has been traveling extensively throughout North and South America facilitating plant and animal medicines, and creating ceremonial healing spaces for communities in diverse countries and lands.
Her facilitation consists of sharing traditional and directly received icaros through her diets with Master Plants, within the lineage of Cocama curanderismo. Within this practice is a weaving of Shipibo, Ashaninka, and Nahuatl icaro and medicine as well. Daniela’s voice carries a high vibration of divine love, joy, and nurturing Mother energy, while bridging the worlds of the Earth’s deep resonance. She calls on a wide spectrum of Earth’s cosmology and higher dimensional spaces, with the clear intention of maintaining a balance of strength, groundedness, and elevation. A variety of instruments are utilized including, shakapa, crystal bowls alongside icaro, Native American flutes, clay ocarinas, and medicine songs with ukelele. She also utilizes tobacco extensively and a variety of specially prepared perfumes and agua floridas within ceremonial space.
Daniela Riojas is the founder of Intikhana Medicina, which provides ceremonial healing rooted in Indigenous and Earth-Based practices. The mission at Intikhana is to provide gateways of health and well-being through Indigenous knowledge, plants, animals, music, frequencies, education, and connection to all of the medicine that this beautiful Mother Earth provides. Intikhana Medicina specializes in providing containers of integrity and safety for comprehensive ceremonial healing.
Additional facilitation for this weekend will be provided by Giselle Real’d Arbelles. Giselle is an international medicine woman, performing and recording artist & composer, who is also recognized for her musical healing contributions in the medicine community via singing and her flute working with various different Native American tribes, organizations, and ceremonies.
She has been extensively in service to plant medicines for 13 years studying with indigenous tribes from Mexico for her peyote trainings, and with tribes from the Brazilian Amazon, and Colombian and Peruvian tribes, as well where she embarked in deep master plant dietas.
Giselle is an advocate for indigenous rights, as well as sharing about indigenous wisdom and culture all over the world using music as the main tool by teaching about the cultures through workshops and song circles. She has also been a Humanities Professor in the university for over a decade.
Giselle is on a mission to bring unity & consciousness to our earth and purpose as humans through plant medicine and music connecting people to the frequency of our Pachamama in all kinds of settings throughout our beautiful Mother Earth.
