About Ipupiara:
When Dr. Bernardo Peixoto was born into his mother’s tribe, the Uru-e-wau-wau numbered 2,400. Today 43 members are left. Tribal Elders gave him the Shamanic name "Ipupiara" (Ipu for short) and a long apprenticeship as shaman and healer. They then encouraged Ipu to learn the ways of the developed world. Ipu earned his Ph.D. in Anthropology and Biology and is fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and eight indigenous dialects. Ipu is a consultant to the Smithsonian Institute and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. and is skilled in the sacred ceremonies and traditional healing practices of several rainforest cultures.

About Cleicha:
Cleicha was taught the ways of the shamans of the Peruvian Highlands since childhood, speaks several indigenous dialects and languages, and is a recognized expert in Inca ceremonies and healing. She, too, is a university-trained anthropologist. Together, they are devoted to creating bridges between cultures and using ancient shamanic wisdom to effect personal and societal dream change and healing.
