She Is A Shaman | Full Ayahuasca Documentary (2025)

[@nubbyjenn]

If we give space for women to make films like this about divine powerful shaman women - this world will heal. Thank you for making this film. It is medicine in its own right. The sound and the spaciousness of this project is so generous. The writing is placed so gently and it is a relief to experience a documentary which allows the viewer room to place their own mind at rest to receive. Thank you. Muchas gracias.

[@daleadelic]

its a lovely documentary! as somebody with over 25 years experience with psychedelics myself i would certainly initially personally avoid tripping in a place that has to have 2 armed guards on patrol around me and guided by a person married 5 times with a much younger spouse and 3 year olds being given it and 8 year olds tripping but thats no judgement on her at all just merely a far away observation that i would personally choose to avoid while being in the most psychologically vulnerable state of my life

[@astrobead7]

A truly independent film about a truly interdependent Shaman. :) A place where woman centered power is thriving. All together and for everyone. Imagine that. Simple, direct and sensitive. It’s refreshing to be reminded of what good journalism looks like, which is staying out of the way so the story can tell itself. Great camera work and sound. The music tracks actually enhanced the storyline. Brava! Many thanks..

[@victorialynncarroll]

What a thoughtful comment - thank you. I genuinely appreciate it.

[@laurieantonioli3737]

I'm so happy to see a film made by a woman about a female shaman. This is very important. Beautiful work -- I love the Shipibo and the medicine and have benefited greatly from their songs, the plants and the deep tradition that I hope is able to survive.

If more people went out of their body and experienced them selves as animals they would better understand shamanism and the connection to everything when the self is trancesended as one. There is however places we wish not to see. Mind is the illusion or the trap, to the greater extent of what we are capable when we merge with the soul.

Estella is a very special lady... I had my very first cup of medicine with her in 2016 right before she started her center and she was still dealing with her abusive husband. So lovely to see how she is doing now! And shedding a short insight on the issue with the younger generations to continue down this path. Thank you for bringing her story and work in such a nice, yet raw, but very clear way.🙏💚

[@victorialynncarroll]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. She spoke about him a bit with us (and I mentioned it in the doc as well, of course) - but it's interesting that you were there during that period. She was very gracious in sharing herself with us.

[@niknak4421]

@victorialynncarroll Well I met her at Dreamglade. She didn't had her center yet. So this is a huge change to see. I heard she opened her own place from the people of the other center and to see it now after all those years, amazing! Wishing you good luck with your projects and journey 😉

Did she heal her abuse trauma ? I would like to do ayahuasca but I delay it for years because I don't want to do it with a man. I know that there are a lot of abuse and spiritual attacks while your field is open.

[@niknak4421]

[@Jlmmmk-cw6bk]

I have been on my own healing journey for the last 12 years. I have been training under two very powerful woman shamans. They have taught me how to reconnect with my heart, soul and innate power through shamanism and love after half a lifetime of suffering from every kind of trauma. I never would use ayahuasca because I don’t need to, but I understand those that try to help themselves through the use of it. I also found it interesting when you said that they burn the plastic and it cleanses the center. This is a fine example of how our power of intention and our perceptions are so very important. We can also heal beautiful Mother Earth and every living being through shamanism, if we can survive the breakdown of the old systems and the people who want to power over people and everything else. Intention, knowing ourselves, living from our heart center and intuition and understanding we are all one is so important in the leveling up of consciousness. Wonderful movie and well-made!!! 🪶🩵

Takes me back to my time in the Peruvian Jungle, where I sat with a 4th generation plant medicine healer for many (alternating) nights..............These Shipibo men and women were truly Curanderos......Healers, who use all manner of plant medicine, not just Aya, to assist people. Such a dramatically difference approach and result from sitting with the Ayahuasca Tourism which has become so prevalent in the Amazon (young people from all over the planet who have very limited experience with the medicine, yet charge a premium to serve Aya to people)..................so great to see this doc - hope it reaches all the right people • such a powerful medicine, at a time when the world truly needs it's insights....................best wishes from the Canadian Wilderness.............

[@KajkaT76]

It's a beautiful movie; thank you. It seems she is truly a genuine healer, there are just a few things that bother me. One of them is that I would be very careful with people who claim not to have an ego... If you just give it another thought - who claims it? I spent four months in Pucallpa in 2021, where I was invited by a Shipibo family to help them run their center. My experience was a nightmare that included brujeria.A tough life lesson with many consequences. It was a challenging time, but it ultimately brought great wisdom as with all significant lessons. We often forget that shamans, gurus, therapists, and anyone who works with other people are also just humans with their gifts and flaws at the end of the day. Just like the rest of us.

[@shadusia]

I visited few shamans in 2024 in Europe, working with different types of medicines during my travels and my own training. I saw the jealousy among them very real and very damaging, as if there wasn't enough people needing their services. I also saw shamans giving medicine who themselves needed therapy and healing... My experience taught me...pick your shaman wisely, pick someone who him/herself is healthy, strong, wise and has good own family life... Unhealed shaman is a risky bet in my view... Look at their body, feel their energy, look at their face, is it relaxed? Is there kindness in the eyes? Do they smile, laugh, is there lightness, calmness, empathy, care, good boundaries, respect etc... How are they treating their assistants and employees....it's all important to pay attention to when making a choice. Are they explaining things, are they inviting and offering or pushing and forcing things? Also in my opinion best to work with teams, where there's at least one woman and one man, to ensure safety, balance of energy and no scope for any personal attachments or inappropriate behaviour (especially no sexual). Peace.

[@directionalstar]

I really appreciate your comment! As someone who practices healing in a country with strict laws, I found this film to be very eye-opening. It was amazing to see how medicine people can live off the land without any limitations. However, I did notice some red flags. Especially the part about jealousy, which struck a chord with me. Anyone living a sacred life should support the sacredness of others, as we are all connected to the same energy. I haven't had the opportunity to try this medicine as it's illegal where I am. After working through most of my shadow work, I'm excited to tackle the last bits. I would really appreciate any suggestions on where I could explore this further.

[@Zephyr911]

Thank you for bringing this up. When you do this work you are opening your energetic door and letting in the Shaman to assist your process. Just because someone is a Shaman doesn’t mean they won’t harm you, consciously or unconsciously. Too many spiritual leaders are power hungry and dangerous. There is no litmus test for detecting a bad Shaman. Trust your senses and your gut. Use wisdom.

[@cedriclarvoire]

Thanks a lot for the comment! I'll help Victoria answer the technical details, I'm the cameraman who worked with her on this. We used a Sony FX9 and it somehow survived the very harsh environment: we had no reliable access to electricity (the closest point was like 25 min away on a brutal motorbike ride) so keeping the batteries running was rough, 95-100% humidity and temperatures in the 30-35°C, rain, sand, bugs and no solid structure for storage. it was quite an adventure :) as for mics, I had a NTG-2 on the camera, and I don't remember exactly what Sara (our sound engineer) was using on the boom, but I think it was a Sennheiser 416 + a couple of wireless mics. she also had a lot of challenges with the environment, and we were quite shocked by the complexity of the ceremonies (sound-wise) and having only one main mic made it interesting to edit!

That's why I want a woman as a shaman. Because ego's men create destruction. They claim to be shamans but still live in shadow
