Ronin Vichi ;

Thanks for coming by and checking out our site. We are currently working on updating our website and soon we will have inventory in our store and on ebay. Please check in occasionally to see how we've grown.

This last trip we finally started to manifest action on a proposal we received nearly two years ago. As you can imagine we are very excited to present the fruits of this labor. In the meantime, you can read the original proposal at Ronin Vichi. Ronin Vichi is the name chosen by the Shipibo Women's Co-operative that we are working with. It means anaconda skin in the Shipibo language. The project currently incorporates two Shipibo Women's co-operatives. We provided machinery, lighting, and training for them to run their own low-tech clothing factory, so that they can compete in the modern clothing industry. We are very impressed with the first creations and are watching it grow from there.

The designs of the Shipibo, while extraordinarily eye-catching, are not considered in solely visual terms. The designs are, in fact, interrelated with a range of sensory impressions.

Limber Goatherd Was born and lives in Peruvian Amazon, in the small city of Yarina Cocha. He studied agriculture later completed a course of training for leadership in the school of Permacultura in Pirenopolis - Brazil. He has also spent many years as a videographer for Peruvian news agencies. Lately he has been involved with the indigenous groups and organizations that are based on the search to develop culturally appropriate and socially applicable sustainable communities along the Ucayali river and affluents in the Peruvian Amazonía, and he speaks "a little English", in our opinion that's modest. He is our back bone at Amazon Medicinals. He is a valuable translator, coordinator, purchaser & a guide that understands the intricate social workings of various tribes that we work with.
