While textiles are loved throughout the world for their artistry and functionality, Shipibo textiles possess patterns that provide healing, with each textile design carrying its own unique meaning. The Shipibo people live in small communities along the banks of the Ucayali River and are one of Peru’s largest groups of indigenous people. 



The textiles they create are lovely in their artistry and have ancient prayer songs the Shipibo shamans sing in ceremony and healing woven into the cloth. The undulating lines and geometric shapes are musical notes and powers. Each cloth emits the vibration of the particular prayer song and amplifies your own prayers.

These one-of-a-kind artworks are suitable for framing or hanging. You can use them for decoration on a flat surface, and they make excellent altar cloths. You can also place them on your body for meditation or healing. 

The patterns the Shipibo artisans embroider are their prayer songs and the energetic signature of whatever they are embroidering. Each textile is unique, with various themes such as good luck, abundance, and the power of creativity or good thoughts, love, and protection from harm.

When you place the Shipibo textile in your home or on your body, it’s a way of calling that spirit into the room with you or into your body.
