I’m Erika Kibar, my journey began with a profound moment in the Amazon Rainforest. Surrounded by the vibrant energy of the jungle, I felt an overwhelming connection to something greater. Under the starry sky, I realized that true healing isn't about endless searching but about courageously confronting what holds us back and embracing a life of authenticity and joy. By deeply exploring and addressing the root causes of our wounds, we cultivate profound compassion and understanding.This process leads to genuine healing, liberation, and the discovery of your True self. - Healing doesn’t have to be a lifelong Journey – it can be a Life of liberation! - My Mission: As the founder of House of Karuna, my mission is to create sacred spaces where deep healing and transformation can unfold naturally. Through plant medicine, shamanic ceremonies, and trauma healing, with a deep connection to both ancient wisdom and modern practices, I guide you on a personalized journey that blends spiritual healing with creative expression, so that you rediscover your true self and embrace a life of freedom and joy. My Journey: My healing path began with a deep awareness of unresolved ancestral traumas, leading me to break generational cycles and confront profound wounds. Trauma often spans generations until someone has the courage to confront and heal it! One standout experience was with the Matses´ tribe in the Amazon. Their ancient rituals illuminated my path and inspired me to blend ancient wisdom with modern practices. My transformative journey has led me to the heart of the Amazon Rainforest in Peru and Brazil, as well as the mystical jungles of Central Africa in Gabon. Through initiations with indigenous tribes such as the Huni Kuin, Yawanawa, Lakota, Mates´, and Bwiti-Missoko, I have gained invaluable wisdom and sacred medicine. These experiences have profoundly enriched my practice, deepening my connection to ancient traditions and transformative healing. Having lived and journeyed through these powerful environments, I integrate a diverse range of healing techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual. This approach allows me to offer a deeply personalized and sacred path to self-discovery and empowerment. Rooted in compassion and ancient wisdom, I am unwaveringly committed to supporting you on your journey towar
