Adriana Ayales – Indigenous Plant Medicine & Rituals From the Rainforest
Description:
Prepare powerful plant remedies and learn about curanderismo rituals to help heal dis-ease, connect with your higher consciousness, and enjoy expanded wellbeing.
Rarely in our contemporary Western culture are we taken under the wise wing of an elder to learn the healing customs and practices of our heritage — to stay healthy, safe, happy, and strong.
These days, we’re more likely to be fed conflicting information about our lineages, our body’s systems, and our health. We may be confused about what to believe and how to approach our wellbeing.
Embedded in Indigeonous communities around the world is a shared wisdom about surviving and thriving in everyday life… as well as in times of crisis, turmoil, or danger.
WIthin these ancient and still vibrantly alive traditions is curanderismo — or shamanism.
From a very early age, Costa Rican herbalist Adriana Ayales was guided by her grandmother, in this age-old tradition, to connect with the spirit world and the spirit of nature.
And, as she grew older, she developed a passion for communicating and collaborating with plants to bring healing to herself — and others.
Join Adriana in a unique 5-step exploration of the medicine of plants, rituals, and ceremonies of this healing tradition… from the point of view of a true rainforest curandera.
You’ll learn ancient practices and remedies for purification, protection, and strengthened immunity, and to raise your vibration, dispel negativity, help heal dis-ease, and reconnect to your spirit.
The Power of Indigenous Plant Medicine
Along with her dynamic presence, Adriana is an expert in techniques for healing both acute and chronic issues with specific ancient plant medicine practices, recipes, rituals, and ceremonies, which she’ll share with you throughout this life-enhancing program…
… all designed to keep you grounded, balanced, and revitalized as you reconnect with Spirit and nature.
Drawing on the wisdom of her ancestors and her old-soul energy, Adriana will help you develop your own home pharmacy with plants you can grow — and show you how to prepare plant medicinals to heal your whole being… mind, body, and spirit.
You’ll learn the way of curanderismo — a tradition held by a web of healers who prepare and use holistic methods for diagnosing and treating disease — so you can support your healing, detoxing, purifying, and space-clearing through potent rituals and ceremonies used time and again, generation after generation.
When you ritualize your life with these ancient practices and Indigenous plants, herbs, flowers, and fungi, you’ll move into a greater state of health and wellbeing — to live a more grounded life… physically, emotionally, and energetically.
You’ll develop the power to care for yourself and alleviate physical ailments by maintaining a healthy gut, keeping your emotions balanced, regularly cleansing the spaces around you, and eliminating toxins. Adriana will also guide you to explore your subconscious mind and higher consciousness.
She’ll teach you how to reconnect with the natural intelligence of plants so you can achieve greater physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.
What You’ll Discover in These 5 Modules
In this 5-part transformational intensive, Adriana will guide you to use medicinal plants and curanderismo ceremonies for an expanded state of wellbeing.
This course will feature teachings and experiential practices with Adriana. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need for cultivating wellbeing… the curanderismo way.
Module 1: Indigenous Medicine — The Healing Cosmology of Curanderismo
To curanderos, there’s no distinction between nature and humans. Like many native medicine peoples around the world, curanderos believe that the origin of disease and imbalances is energetic… as is the healing process. Energetic diagnostics is a key element within curanderismo to uncover the origin of a disease.
In this opening class, you’ll discover the varieties of curanderos — Hierberas, Parteras, Sobadores, Huesera, and more — and explore how they diagnose imbalances. Adriana will share about classic diagnostic techniques… and how plants, flowers, fungi, and resins can be used for rebalancing.
You’ll dive deep into herbs classically found in a shaman’s toolkit for limpias — cleansing rituals and ceremonies for protection. Adriana will also offer key recipes and techniques for making protective ritual tools, such as Agua de Florida, to clear spaces and the energetic field.
In this first session, you’ll discover:
- What exactly curanderismo is
- Diagnosis, treatment, limpias, plants, and spiritual tools for rituals

Module 2: Plants of Power, Protection & Immunity — Protecting Your Immune System the Shaman’s Way

In this module, Adriana will introduce you to specific rainforest plants used in curanderismo for grounding, protection, and immune strength. You’ll learn about exotic and classic rainforest plants that have been used for millennia as antivirals and antimicrobials.

Module 3: Ancient Plants & Rituals for Beauty, Rejuvenation & Longevity
The meaning of beauty to native peoples is different from what we perceive in Western society. Since time immemorial, our ancestors have been in pursuit of longevity and rejuvenation. Many traditions around the world have revered the power of beauty — with a myriad of rituals to cultivate beauty from the inside out.
Medical research confirms that the rainforest contains a plethora of “beautifying” plants to support these ancestral beauty rituals for deep rejuvenation. In this session, Adriana will reveal herbs and rituals for deep self-care — focusing on the skin, hair, muscles, and joints.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- The meaning of beauty according to the ancients
- The anatomy of rejuvenation — and self-care traditions and techniques to support it

- Rainforest recipes and rituals for mind and body rejuvenation

Module 4: Spiritual Nutrition — Plants, Foods & Dietas for the Digestive System & Emotional Body
In curanderismo, a dieta is a prescribed diet to cleanse the emotions and mind and realign the body. Curanderos assign particular herbs and foods to patients to advance the body’s healing, and to cleanse the spirit before embarking on a visionary quest.
In this session, you’ll learn about the particular plants used for dietas… and to receive healing wisdom for one’s own life.
To many native traditions around the world, the gut and digestive system were seen as the core of our emotional body. And through the intake of particular plants and foods, we facilitate emotional purging and physical detox.
You’ll learn about:
- The microbiome and the gut
- How the gut and your emotional body are connected, according to curanderismo and backed by medical discoveries
- Shamanic therapies, such as platicas — prayers and rituals of purification to release unwanted emotions
- Herbs and foods that address emotional ailments, including anxiety, anger, exhaustion, a broken heart, insomnia, depression, envy, and more
- Foods and purification rites for toxic elimination, clarity, and balance
Module 5: Plants for the Mind, the Pineal Gland & Higher Consciousness

Self Help – Lifestyle online course
More information about Self Help:
Self-help or self-improvement is a self-guided improvement—economically, intellectually, or emotionally—often with a substantial psychological basis.
Many different self-help group programs exist, each with its own focus, techniques, associated beliefs, proponents and in some cases, leaders.
Concepts and terms originating in self-help culture and Twelve-Step culture, such as recovery, dysfunctional families, and codependency have become firmly integrated in mainstream language.
Self-help often utilizes publicly available information or support groups, on the Internet as well as in person, where people in similar situations join together.
From early examples in self-driven legal practice and home-spun advice, the connotations of the word have spread and often apply particularly to education, business,
psychology and psychotherapy, commonly distributed through the popular genre of self-help books.
According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship,
emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
