Sister Judy Bisignano, a Dominican nun, is a fierce educator, and in so many ways a rebel. SISTER JAGUAR’S JOURNEY tells the story of her difficult childhood, and her attempt to avoid family life, marriage and motherhood by entering the convent, where she was met with an even more abusive situation. Her journey takes her to the rainforest of Ecuador and the sacred rituals of the Achuar people. It was here in this moment, in this place, with these special people, that she found God, healing and forgiveness.
The Achuar call her “Hermana Otorango – Sister Jaguar,” and so will you.

CONCEPT FOR SIX-PART SERIES
DREAM FROM THE AMAZON combines two global forces in an effort to bring ecological balance to our planet—the spiritual wealth of indigenous people and the intellectual achievements of the modern world.
In this six-part TV series, Sandra Morse, a Communications Philosopher, introduces us to the Achuar, an indigenous tribe in Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest.
The Achuar are an ancient dream culture. For thousands of years they have used their dreams to navigate their future. They begin their ayahuasca plant-healing ceremonies with an invitation to participate offered to their past, living and future ancestors.
We will see that we and the Achuar are kin. Their ancient wisdom and our modern technology merge into one planet, one people, one dream.
