Arutam Ruyman – Uwishin (Shaman), Tradition Bearer, and Spiritual Leader

Arutam Ruymán, Shaman and professor of traditional Chinese medicine, is an heir to the ancestral lineage of the “Shuar” people. He began his practice around the age of twenty while studying psychology, traveling to the Amazon, and marrying a native woman from a prominent “Uwishin” tradition family. He studied for ten years with different masters from his wife’s family, from whom he received high merits and recognition as a spiritual leader. He trained in all the traditional practices of the “Uwishin” path and its initiatory power transmissions (Tsentsak). He completed his journey by studying with the legendary shamanism figure in the Ecuadorian Amazon: Major Francisco Jimbikit. After 5 years of exclusive dedication to this final training, he consolidated as a fully developed Master, formally receiving all written recognitions.

He has been traveling the world for 20 years, teaching this sacred path to people from multiple and diverse cultures. He maintains and protects all traditional aspects, introducing small details of his own style that characterize him. He has written two literary works and numerous articles, along with two important cinematographic works. Currently, his presence on social networks provides sincere and high-quality information for seekers interested in original content about Shamanism and spirituality.

Together with Jordi Tucán Rojo, he leads this project that we present here in the heart of the Amazon.
