Indigenous Shamanism in Mexico

Maria is a Mexican transpersonal psychologist dedicated to the weaving of millenary sciences and arts with contemporary psychologies.

In 2015 she founded the Macuil Institute, a community of professional studies in transpersonal psychology that integrates the teachings of master craftsmen, traditional doctors and native Mexican language teachers in the redefinition of Western notions of health and disease.

As a transpersonal psychologist, she has professional experience in psychoanalysis and existential psychotherapy, in addition to being a certified Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator.

Her journey extends beyond the confines of conventional Western psychology, as she was born and raised within the mosaic of cultures of ancient Mexico, especially her Zapotec culture.

She has delved into the possibilities of professional application of the ancient cosmic sciences in modern educational and healing contexts. Her personal studies also encompass sacred healing modalities, such as temaskalli ceremonies, traditional dances and eco-psycho-spiritual ceremonies.

Maria Islas is the founder and Co-Director of Instituto Macuil, a transpersonal education institute in Mexico, as well as a somatic movement educator and therapist. She creates transpersonal educational programs that weave ancestral mexhica wisdom, with depth psychology principles, into an embodied eco-psycho-spiritual approach. Working directly with indigenous groups in Mexico, her work explores the intersection of shamanism and modern psychology.
