ABOUT MANARI USHIGUA

Manari Ushigua is a traditional healer, spiritual guide, and leader of the Sapara Nation, an Indigenous people of the Ecuadorian Amazon.

 

His life is dedicated to protecting the rainforest, preserving ancestral wisdom, and maintaining deep spiritual connection with the invisible worlds of the forest.

Internationally recognized, Manari was named one of the 100 Latinos most committed to climate action in 2021. He has played a central role in Ecuador’s Indigenous movement: he served as Vice President of CONAIE (the National Indigenous Organization of Ecuador) from 2013 to 2016, and as President of the Sapara Indigenous Federation from 1999 to 2012.

He has represented his people at global forums such as the UN COP21 Climate Summit and the UN Universal Periodic Review on Human Rights, raising awareness about the urgent threats to the Amazon and the rights of Indigenous peoples.

Manari is the co-founder of the Naku Center, a sacred space deep in Sapara territory that proposes a new economic model based on healing, cultural preservation, and the care of the forest as a living being.

Manari walks between worlds — the world of his ancestors, the spirits of the forest, and the new generations seeking to live with greater awareness, balance, and spiritual depth.
