Hummingbirds have long captured the hearts and imaginations of people worldwide.  Many Indigenous communities have celebrated Hummingbirds as messengers and teachers, particularly helping us celebrate the joy of life.  Dr. Rocío Alarcón, an ethnobotanist with ancestral roots in the lineages of the curanderas of the Ecuadorian Andes, writes, “In my healing work with clients I have observed that the iridescent colors of the feathers of hummingbirds have the ability to change the brain’s electrical frequency and modify a person’s mental state. When sunlight touches their plumage, they send rays of light. When the rays touch the person, these iridescent special colors produce changes in his or her brain like a phenomenon of bioluminescent that generates changes in the emotional states of the person.”  

During this Teleseminar, Rocío will share with us the magic and healing power of Hummingbirds.  She will discuss their unique connection with Plants and how they can help uplift our everyday lives, bringing us into the present moment with happiness and joy, offering healing for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies, and ultimately, shifting our consciousness. 

About Rocío

Rocío Alarcón is a healer for our times.  She has worked tirelessly for decades to preserve indigenous cultures and land both in the Amazon and in the Andean community where she grew up, under the tutelage of master healers. She has lovingly brought many modern seekers, as well as skeptics, into the fold of the healing traditions of her ancestors, teaching especially about our relationship with the “divine forces” in the natural world. Rocío’s grandmothers held intimate connections with the forces of nature, particularly the plants and the hummingbirds, whom they could call upon for the healing of their communities.  Recently, Rocío has been bringing forth this particular ancestral heritage.  

Rocío brings to her inherited knowledge a scientific understanding of the co-evolution of plants and animals and ecosystems, as well as understandings of healing based on modern neuroscience.   She weaves this all together in her teachings on the healing power of the plants and the hummingbirds.  For those who may not be able to witness first hand the rich diversity of hummingbirds native to Ecuador, she has created an Oracle Deck of cards containing exquisite portraits of 37 species by artist Luisa Acosta, each with a description of its physical and spirit-healing qualities. The cards themselves are meant to be messengers of beauty, light, and healing.  She will gift us with a taste of this magic in this teleseminar.
