Sanador Del Viento

Ricardo “Sanador del Viento” was born in the Colombian land and has walked the path of Yage-Ayahuasca as a medicine man-healer for more than two decades. His journey began through direct immersion with Indigenous cultures of Colombia, Ecuador, and Brazil — including the Cofán, Inga, Kamëntsá, and Kaxinawá (Huni Kuin) communities — guardians of sacred knowledge preserved for millennia.

Through these lineages, Ricardo received teachings in the ceremonial, spiritual, and therapeutic use of ancestral medicines, shaping a path rooted in humility, discipline, and devotion to service. His learning expanded across continents, sharing space with healers and spiritual guides from diverse traditions, allowing him to cultivate a uniquely integrative approach that honors tradition while supporting modern healing needs.

For more than 22 years, Ricardo has traveled internationally offering ceremonies, teachings, and healing processes. Wherever he goes, he creates a safe, grounded, and compassionate environment where people can release emotional heaviness, reconnect with their purpose, and remember who they truly are. His ceremonies are supported by a team of musicians, healers, therapists, and ancestral guides who uphold the sacredness of the work.

As a Babalawo priest of IFA, Ricardo carries the wisdom of Orunmila and the sacred responsibility of guiding individuals toward clarity, alignment, and spiritual awakening. His work bridges the ancestral medicines of the Amazon with the divinatory, ethical, and spiritual foundations of Ifá — creating a rare and powerful combination of lineages that inform his leadership.

Ricardo’s healing practice integrates multiple modalities, including:

• Cell restructuring therapy      (Merkabah activation)
• Shamanic Reiki Master
• Energetic cleansing
• Spiritual guidance
• Pendulum chakra energy work
• Shamanic massage (acupressure)
• Womb blessing healing ceremony
• Ceremony “Multiplying Flight of      the Eagle” (Godfather Leo Artese)
• Consultations with IFA

As the Founder and Chief of Ancestral Spirit Tribe, Ricardo embodies the church’s vision: to create a sacred space where every person leaves feeling transformed, connected, loved, peaceful, and awakened to their purpose.

His mission is the heart of AST: to guide individuals from emotional suffering into clarity, connection, peace, love, and awakening — through ancestral wisdom, compassion, and integrity.

Ricardo leads the church through the values he established: Service, Integrity, Compassion, Ancestral Wisdom, Personal Evolution, and Respect for All Our Relations. His leadership is not only organizational — it is spiritual, emotional, and deeply human.

Through presence, humility, and devotion to God, nature, and the ancestors, Ricardo walks beside each person on their healing journey, helping them move from heaviness to transformation, from disconnection to belonging, and from spiritual numbness to awakening.
