Taita Eveiro and His Wife, Ana
Taita Eveiro has over 35 years of experience in conducting Ayahuasca ceremonies, leading ceremonies with up to 100 people. He decided to learn more by living and studying among the indigenous Kanzat and Ingas communities in the Colombian Amazon Basin near Putumayo. He became a specialist in “plantas maestras” or “teacher plants,” eventually gaining the recognition of these communities and the title “Taita”, meaning spiritual leader or father. This title is not given to everyone, it requires years of study and integration into these indigenous communities.
