Arnaud "Árbol" Tognazzi Guardian of the Ancestral Mother House at Comunidad Aroiris in the depths of the beautiful Amazon Rainforest in Perú - a school for learning how to live in community founded in 2009 when after healing his own health condition with ancestral medicines and learning how to help others to do so, he opened the 80 hectar reserve to people from all over the world interested in experiencing and learning about community life in the jungle and reconnecting with Mother Nature using permaculture, ancestral wisdom from native tribes and their medicines, and Master Plants dietas.
The community in Aroiris has opened paths to work very intimately with the Bora, Tubu and Matzes communities in the jungle, supporting them to recover the memories and sacred practices of their traditions and accompaning them in sustaining and re-activating the fires of their Malokas (Ancestral Mother Houses). Arnaud has also participated in many visits in support of the Koguis, Arhuacos and Wiwas in the Sierra Nevada in Santa Marta - Colombia, and has learned about the method of cultivating the human seed and sowing the New Humanity through the teachings of the Muhysca tradition, co-founding the ZAKUYE community, one of the main bases of the Spiral School in the mountains of Cocorná - Colombia. He guides Kambo Trainings since 2016 teaching hundreds of people to self-heal and heal others with this sacred medicine.
Arnaud has recently become a father and this has opened the door for his interest in supporting the construction of ancestral houses for sacred birth and supporting the process of families in service of healing the human seed from this root.
