The Xao Kene- The Sacred Geometry of Healing and Creation of the Shipibo Tribe
With Milke Pasquel Sinuiri Panduro
The Xao Kene is the sacred geometric design of the Shipibo-Konibo people. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and passed down through generations, it has served as a ceremonial blueprint and portal for Indigenous communities as they prepare to bring forth new life. The Xao Kene embodies a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, honoring the interconnectedness of spirit, song, and earth for healing and creation.
Join Milke as he takes us on a journey, learning, sensing and creatively engaging through Icaros (plant songs), Kene (visual designs), and the ancient, ethnobotanical and mystical ways of the Shipibo lineage.
