His path with the medicine.
Miguel is a Shipibo maestro who has walked the path of strict plant diets and sung in ceremony for 15 years. He is the father of eight, and Kanan Biri is the centre he is building on his family's land.
His healing is carried in his icaros, the songs he received through his own dietas. In ceremony he sings to each guest in turn.
