The name comes from the Shipibo language. The family translates it as reflejo del mundo espiritual: a reflection of the spiritual world.
For the Shipibo, the visible world mirrors a spiritual one. The name holds that idea.

The maloka
Our maloka.
Coming soonA maloka is a traditional Shipibo ceremony house: a round house of wooden posts under a woven leaf roof. Miguel's family is building Kanan Biri's own maloka with their own hands.
Until it is finished, retreats are held in the family's ceremony room. When it opens, every ceremony will move there.
