The Huichol–like many indigenous cultures–recognize that nearly all ‘dis-ease’ originates at the spiritual level and needs to be treated accordingly. A mara’akame or healer and ritual leader in the tradition has a life calling to do this kind of work. The mara’akame is given the ability to do this work by his or her pilgrimage to sacred sites that offer particular gifts. A typical session will include counseling and possibly a limpia or cleaning of anything getting in the way of a person’s well-being. These sessions can have a profound, transformative impact on body, mind, and spirit. It is a form of healing that has been helping people thrive for thousands of years.
