Born in 1966 in Canaan de Cachicayu, Peru, Maestra Celia Panduro Huayta has devoted her life to the path of traditional Ayahuasca medicine. A mother of five and a highly respected ceremonial practitioner, she began learning from ancestral wisdom in childhood and stepped into leadership early in life. By the age of 29, she was already guiding Ayahuasca healing retreats throughout Peru.
Her training was shaped by experienced mentors including Javier Arévalo, Manuel Maynas, and Pedro Esteban, through whom she deepened her knowledge of spiritual diets and master plants such as Camalonga, White Pine, Huayracaspi, Shihuahuaco, Bobinsana, Huayusa, Ayahuma, and Niwe Rao. With more than 25 years of experience, Maestra Celia has supported many people in their physical, emotional, and spiritual healing journeys.
She has also been an important collaborator at the Flower of Life Ayahuasca Healing Center since its beginning, contributing her wisdom, presence, and long-standing dedication to this traditional healing work.
