About this Course
For Former Graduates of the 3-Month Intikhana Mentorship: Honoring the Medicine Path
««»»
Hello and welcome back, former mentees! The intention of this course is to proceed further into studies about the technology of icaros, the codes of communication from plant and nature spirits through song. In this course, I will be passing forward my own icaros that I have received directly from nature through my diets in the Amazon jungles of Peru. This is my first time opening a circle of education where I will be passing down my own medicine directly to my students. I do this after completing 15 dietas and extensive studies with my teachers and elders, and many years of facilitation in ceremony space.
This will be an opportunity for us to sing together, for you to learn these icaros, practice feeling their resonance in your own body, and develop further into receiving your own songs.
It's been a growing inspiration to continue walking with students and former graduates of the Intikhana Mentorship: Honoring the Medicine Path, and I'm happy to be in community with you all again and opening up the voice with more connection to the arkanas. You all know how much I love to sing together. It is during these times of great challenge when our collective resonance can make a difference.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
This container will be focused on getting students singing and sharing on live calls. I have selected 3 of my icaros that I will give live lectures on. An audio recording of each icaro will also be provided. Students will practice at home, then have the opportunity to sing within the group during our weekly calls.
With so much education and training completed within the Intikhana Mentorship, students will now have the opportunity to use their vessels and allow the voice to be heard. I trust and respect former mentees to now carry these sacred songs with integrity.
An additional intention is for these shorter cohorts to be taken repeatedly for additional practice and for more icaros, medicine songs, and chants to be taught and shared in the future. There are many songs to explore!
Call Schedule
Live calls are where questions and guidance will be provided in real time.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Daniela Riojas is a curandera, educator, medicine keeper, musician, and artist originally from the frontera of Tejas y Mexico, currently based in Tulum, MX. Her Indigenous ancestry is connected to The Coahuiltecans of northern Mexico. As a curandera, she communes with Mother Nature and a lexicon of plants, animals, and energies through ancestral practices of channeling and meditation. She has undergone extensive trainings and Master Plant dietas with Indigenous elders who have initiated her into the sacred practice of facilitation and healing in ceremonial space.
She has been under the guidance of elders in Nayarit Mexico (Richie and Xochitl of Nawake Bucerias) as well as elders and curandero/as of the jungles of Peru who are Cocama (Gran Maestra Aime Vargas Davila), Shipibo (Maestra Bawan Kate), Ashaninka (Maestro Miguel Charini) and Mestizo (Maestro Camarampi Shirampa). For years, Daniela has been traveling extensively throughout North and South America facilitating plant and animal medicines, and creating ceremonial healing spaces for communities in diverse countries and lands.
Her facilitation consists of sharing traditional and directly received icaros through her diets with Master Plants, within the lineage of Cocama curanderismo. Within this practice is a weaving of Quechua and Spanish icaro and medicine as well. Daniela’s voice carries a high vibration of divine love, joy, and nurturing Mother energy, while bridging the worlds of the Earth’s deep resonance. She calls on a wide spectrum of Earth’s cosmology and higher dimensional spaces, with the clear intention of maintaining a balance of strength, groundedness, and elevation. A variety of instruments are utilized including, shakapa, crystal bowls alongside icaro, Native American flutes, clay ocarinas, and medicine songs with a team of trusted facilitators. She also utilizes tobacco in the form of sopla extensively and a variety of specially prepared perfumes and agua floridas within ceremonial space.
Daniela Riojas is the founder of Intikhana Medicina, which provides ceremonial healing rooted in Indigenous and Earth-Based practices. The mission at Intikhana is to provide gateways of health and well-being through Indigenous knowledge, plants, animals, music, frequencies, education, and connection to all of the medicine that this beautiful Mother Earth provides. Intikhana Medicina specializes in providing containers of integrity and safety for comprehensive ceremonial healing.
