Chakuna's music has been influenced by her family, friends, and also her teachers of spiritual and indigenous traditions that she has had the honor to be a part of over the years.



PERUVIAN INDIGENOUS SHAMANIC WISDOM TRADITION
Chakuna has studied indigenous shamanic wisdom and is a part of an ancient spiritual wisdom traditional Peruvian lineage with Don Oscar Miro-Quesada. Oscar Miro-Quesada Solevo is a respected kamasqa curandero and altomisayoq adept from Peru, visionary founder of The Heart of the Healer (THOTH) Alliance, originator of Pachakuti Mesa Tradition cross-cultural shamanism, and co-author (with Bonnie Glass-Coffin, Ph.D.) of Lessons in Courage: Peruvian Shamanic Wisdom for Everyday Life. An internationally acclaimed shamanic teacher, healer and earth honoring ritualist, don Oscar is also OAS Fellow in Ethnopsychology, UN Invited Observer to the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, and Member of the Birth 2012 Welcoming Committee convened by Barbara Marx Hubbard. He has been guiding ethnospiritual apprenticeship expeditions to sacred sites of the world since 1986, with special emphasis on Peru and Bolivia. He is a popular faculty member at educational centers in the USA and abroad, dedicating his life to the revitalization of aboriginal wisdom traditions as a means of restoring sacred trust between humankind and the natural world. A seasoned navigator of non-ordinary states of consciousness, don Oscar is well prepared to help people from all walks of life access realms of Being where multidimensional powers and forces are available for healing self, others, and our beloved Mother Earth as a whole. His work and shamanic training programs have been featured on CNN, Univision, A&E, the Discovery Channel and History 2 Ancient Aliens.
