Dear All,
In 2009, we were fortunate to meet Papa Horacio in the jungle.
As many of you know, a deep friendship was formed, and thanks to Horacio, we were able to make Ani Shinan shine. Over all these years, we were blessed by his Ikaros, received much healing, and gained valuable knowledge along the way.
His chants are unforgettable, and we also called him the "Jukebox." Hundreds of people have been touched by the songs of Papa Horacio, and through us, he lives on. We will not stop chanting his name and his Ikaros.
Some of you have also done dietas with Papa Horacio or met him in Switzerland. What a gift!
We had the honor of welcoming Papa Horacio twice, the last time two years ago. That was also his farewell journey. Shortly afterward, he retired to enjoy his well-deserved rest and spend more time with his family.
Unfortunately, Horacio fell ill a few months ago. His family and we tried in various ways to help and heal him. However, his body was too tired, and he chose to embark on his final journey.
We cannot find the words to express how incredibly grateful we are that our paths crossed and that we were able to walk, dance, and sing together for so many years.
We miss him, and we remember him with a blessed heart.
We pray for his family and send them strength, love, and light.
Thank you, Horacio – Thank you, Shipibos – Thank you, Ani Shinan.
