About Product

8" - 10" in diameter

For thousands of years the Shipibo tribe have been producing visual art, inspired by the rivers of knowledge of the sacred Ayahuasca plant. The fabrics are not merely an art, but they are invested with a story about a family and a tribe. Each item carries with it a story inspired by the healing plants of the jungle.

What is the prayer behind the "Kené" (Shipibo-Conibo) Art?

Kené art is the design of lines systems and geometric patterns made by indigenous women of the Shipibo-Conibo tribe from the Ucayali región - Peru. The Kené have a deep symbolic significance as they represent the worldview of their people, as well as energy pathways, the Milky Way, the geography of the forest, the animals, the plants, and the design of the Universe. Kené are the healing visions that come when one consumes mother plants for therapeutic purposes. The Kené, or icaros, are sung, woven, & guarded in the ancestral timeline of the Shipibo People. They also represent knowledge, culture, history and aesthetics of the Shipibo people, revealing their origin and the close links between the community and their territory.

We are honored to partner with four Shipibo weavers, two grandmothers and two daughters. Florencia, Lucila, Robertina, & Lydia. They, along with their families, are guardians of the millennia old traditions of the Shipibo Weaving Cultures. They are keepers of the ancestral weavings & the icaros (or prayer chants) of their culture, which they embed into each of their tapestries in tremendous devotion to the plants.

For the Amazonian Wisdom Cultures, weaving is considered a pillar in the spiritual path. A pillar in the sense that it is a pathway to God. Through the art of weaving, Grandmothers pass on to their granddaughters (and sometimes their grandsons) the mysteries of the web of life, and the ancient art of utilizing the force of Creation to crystallize prayers into reality.

WHY OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE LOWEST PRICE YOU’LL FIND

  • #1

    Sourcing

    Directly sourced from indigenous lands and lineage holders, we guarantee the ancestral connection remains intact and strong in all our medicines. We treat the stewardship of the vision as an enormous spiritual responsibility and honor.

    Why it Matters

    As demand for ancient botanicals has grown in the West, profit seekers have saturated the market with low-quality medicines lacking spiritual power. These products are made utilizing machines and agro-chemical farming techniques, containing heavy metals and microplastics. Even more dangerous, they lack the presence of elders, trained medicine makers, and connection with Nature.

  • #2

    Our Beyond Fair Trade Model

    We exclusively partner with highly trained, initiated medicine makers—elders and lineage holders who have spent decades mastering their craft. Their medicines are rare, potent, and carry an unbroken spiritual lineage. We honor their expertise and do not haggle or bargain for lower prices. Instead, we pay them what their work is truly worth, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their time, knowledge, and sacred labor.

    Why it Matters

    Many companies exploit indigenous artisans by negotiating the lowest possible prices, undervaluing the sacred medicines and labor behind them. This depletes resources, forces unsustainable harvesting practices, and disconnects these healers from their ancestral lifeways. By upholding a beyond fair trade model, we empower new generations of indigenous medicine makers to continue their traditions, support their families, and sustain this sacred work for more generations to come.

  • #3

    Our Commitment to Giving Back

    At Four Visions, we put our money where our heart is. Every month, we donate over $15,000 to our indigenous partners, funding initiatives that support land preservation, language revitalization, traditional healing centers, and elder care. Since our inception, we have contributed over $1 million dollars to indigenous-led projects.

    Why it Matters

    Many profit off sacred medicines while giving little or nothing in return. This extractive model strips indigenous communities of their resources without replenishment. Our commitment to reciprocity ensures that when you purchase from Four Visions, you are actively supporting cultural survival, indigenous sovereignty, and the continued transmission of ancestral wisdom.

    We Uplift and Empower All Our People

    Our ethos of stewardship extends beyond our indigenous partners—it includes the people who make our company what it is. We believe in supporting our team by offering real living wages, retirement plans, bonuses and paid-time-off; inside a workplace which honors balance, well-being, and spiritual growth. As a small family business, not a multi-conglomerate, these achievements take serious effort.

    Why it Matters

    E-commerce brands keep prices low by underpaying workers, outsourcing fulfillment to exploitative warehouses, and prioritizing profits over people. We reject that model. By choosing Four Visions, you are supporting a business that invests in its people, ensuring everyone—from our medicine makers to our customer service team—thrives, not just survives.
