Founder & Spiritual Leader
Taita Juan Bautista Agreda

Taita Juan Bautista Agreda Chindoy is a Kamëntsá traditional healer, spiritual leader, and four-time Governor of the Kamëntsá Cabildo of Sibundoy.

For more than 40 years, he has carried the teachings of a respected family lineage of Yagéceros. Recognized by Colombia’s Ministry of Health as a traditional healer, he leads Shanayoy and OIOC with a lifelong commitment to healing, cultural continuity, and protecting Kamëntsá territory and ancestral knowledge.

Sacred Reciprocity

Shanayoy’s healing work is rooted in Kamëntsá territory, language, medicinal plants, and ancestral knowledge. Reciprocity means helping protect the living culture and natural world that make this work possible.

Today, only about 6% of the Kamëntsá community speaks the ancestral language. Through OIOC, your support strengthens language revitalization, native forest and medicinal plant restoration, community education, and dignified housing for families and elders.

If this medicine, territory, or tradition has touched your life, we invite you to give back with gratitude.

Support Kamëntsá-led biocultural revitalization through OIOC.
