Note: Charging for ceremonies and healing experiences isn’t customary in the Kichwa culture. Traditionally, a community member knows how much to give the shaman due to their cultural norms and Randi-Randi worldview of reciprocal balance. Since this understanding isn’t universal, we decided to have fixed prices.
