The directors of the Takiwasi Center express their deep sorrow for the passing of master healer Juan Flores, which occurred on Saturday, October 11, 2025. We pay tribute to the Sheripiari, Ashaninka healer, bearer of the gift of teaching and healing through Amazonian plants. Due to his great qualities as a healer, he was invited on numerous occasions to Takiwasi, where he shared his wisdom and skills in the care of patients struggling with addiction, as well as with participants in dietas and seminars.
