Sacred Celebration of Medicine & Music with Manari Ushigua & Jaleh

Amazonian spiritual guide Manari Ushigua and Songstress Jaleh invite you to an intimate Solstice Concert & Ceremony infused with the sacred medicine of Cacao, Tobacco, and Icaros so that we may harmonize our hearts with the changing energy on Earth and in our own lives.

World renowned shaman, forest-defender and political leader Manari Ushigua brings the spirit of the Amazon to The Center SF for one very special night of Medicine & Music. Alongside San Francisco's dearest powerhouse singer and mystic Jaleh, he will be sharing an intimate Tobacco ceremony and his sacred Icaros to call upon the healing spirit of the Amazon to open our hearts to harmonize with the new energy on Earth. Jaleh will be opening the evening with a Cacao Ceremony and closing with a reiki-infused concert of Medicine Music inspired by her time with Manari in Ecuadorian Amazon.

The sacred plant of tobacco, known to the Sapara as Jauneka, has been used for thousands of years by indigenous people. The medicine is inhaled through the nose, then we will be guided by Manari with traditional Icaros, as he connects with the spirit of the medicine and rainforest. The tobacco medicine invites you into a deep state of meditation that can liberate many emotions and parts of our unconscious mind.
