Arkan Lushwala was consecrated from a young age to be an Andean healer and ceremonial leader. One of his homes is the Sacred Valley of Cusco, in Peru, where he is a member of the Indigenous Community of Ccotataki. His other home is New Mexico where he has spent the last twenty years working in collaboration with elders of North American tribes in favor of the healing of people and Mother Earth. He is the author of three books on the power of Indigenous wisdom to address modern questions: The Time of the Black Jaguar, Deer and Thunder, and The Spirit of the Glacier Speaks.
