A gift from the Peruvian Amazon
SPIRIT NII SHINAN means “knowledge from the jungle” in the Shipibo language. Founded by Luis Marquez Pinedo, a respected figure who combines academia and traditional healing practices, this center exists to preserve the endangered cultural heritage of the Shipibo people.
By blending modern insight with centuries-old wisdom, SPIRIT NII SHINAN aims to protect their language, support a future museum and school, and shine a spotlight on the remarkable worldview rooted in the Peruvian Amazon.
