Ramiro Orrantia 

(Kana Bari)

Ramiro, originally from Mexico, embodies over two decades of deep and transformative healing practice. His journey began under the guidance of the elders of the Navajo Nation, where he was immersed in sacred traditions—participating in sweat lodges, tipi ceremonies, vision quests, and the Sun Dance. He is a carrier of the Chanupa (Sacred Pipe), honoring the lineage of the Lakota tradition.
His spiritual quest led him to study under Wixárika elders in Mexico, as well as Queros and Shipibo healers in Peru. 

In 2012, he embarked on his apprenticeship with Shipibo maestra Elisa Vargas, later continuing under Maestro Papa Gilberto Mahua in 2016. 
Ramiro's journey includes extensive Master Plants Diets as well as continuously deepening his studies of the Shipibo traditions and chanting of their healing icaros. With reverence and humility, he intertwines the wisdom of master plants into his ceremonies, harmonized by his skill as a musician, crafting soulful medicine songs. As a custodian of wisdom across diverse traditions, he facilitates profound ceremonies, guided by the blessings of his teachers.
