About the Yawanawa
The Yawanawa are an Indigenous people from the western Brazilian Amazon, living along the Gregorio River in the state of Acre. Their culture is deeply connected to the forest, which they see as a source of life, knowledge, and healing.
Their tradition is rooted in ancestral knowledge passed down through songs, stories, and rituals, with medicinal plants playing a central role. Today, they share part of their culture internationally, creating spaces for exchange while supporting their communities and preserving their knowledge.
The Gathering
A night guided by Wiyahu and Txivani, rooted in the spiritual traditions of the Yawanawa people. The ceremony is carried by sacred chants passed down from the elders, supporting processes of healing, protection, and introspection.
Depending on the country and legal framework, the ceremony may include the ritual use of traditional forest medicines such as Uni, as well as Rape and Sananga.
Plant Medicines & Practices
A preparation made from tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) finely ground and mixed with ashes of medicinal plants or sacred tree barks. Many people experience mental clarity, improved focus, and a sense of grounding. On a spiritual level, rape is considered a medicine of the forest that helps cleanse the mind, calm the flow of thoughts, and realign intention.
A practice using the natural secretion of the frog Phyllomedusa bicolor. The secretion is rich in bioactive peptides and triggers an intense physiological purge. In traditional use, kambo is considered a practice for strengthening and protecting the body — used by the Yawanawa to maintain a strong metabolism, support immunity, and restore mental clarity.
A form of traditional energy work practiced within Yawanawa culture, based on a view of the body where physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions are deeply interconnected. During a session, the practitioner works with intention, breath, traditional chants, and sometimes touch, to support a process of realignment and release of tensions.
Who You Will Meet
Wiyahu grew up in close connection with the forest and the teachings of the elders, in a family where sacred chants and traditional knowledge are part of everyday life. As a speaker of Noke Tsai, the Yawanawa language, he has dedicated his life to learning and transmitting knowledge related to medicinal plants. During ceremonies, he guides participants through his voice and his chants — true tools of orientation, protection, and healing.
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Txivani is Wiyahu's wife and a devoted student of Yawanawa culture. After completing several spiritual diets within the tradition, she actively takes part in ceremonies in Brazil and internationally, supporting the work through her presence and the softness of her voice. She shares her life between the Amazon and the outside world, helping create a respectful bridge between the forest and those who seek it.
