Collahuaya is an alternate spelling for Kallawaya, a sect of traditional indigenous healers in Bolivia, and also for their ritual language, a combination of Quechua, Puquina, and Aymara elements. This shaman is smoking sacred mapacho tobacco, he is leading a ceremony of ayahuasca (the vine of the souls) which is an enthogenic brew that brings great healing through visions and purging the body of toxins. The shaman has transcendental plant allied spirits above his head which he is working with for the benefit the initiates within his mystery ceremony. Two more plant allies have formed shields on either side of him to protect him from negative vibrations as he realigns and works with the morphogenetic field resonating with the habitual space time continuum.
