Grandfathers and Grandmothers of the Yawarani Family
- The Yawanawa Elders
In 2020 and 2021, a deep immersion in the Yawanawa Culture and Spirituality took place for the first time in the city of Rio Branco/Acre, an in-depth study with the Grandparents of the Yawarani Family.
The Yawanawa Elders traveled from the village to the capital, to share their ancestral tradition with us, and to receive visitors who came from other states of Brazil and even from other countries. This unique opportunity took place in the rural region of the capital of Acre because we were in a period of isolation for the Indigenous Communities due to the pandemic.
With great joy, we share that in November 2023, we will hold this special meeting again, but for the first time, it will be held in Aldeia Yawarani, in the original way in which this retreat was conceived and planned in 2019, before the pandemic began.
SCHEDULE
During our stay in the Community, we will experience different cultural and spiritual elements of the Yawanawa Culture and Tradition, and each day we will have activities interspersed with periods of rest.
During the 6 days and 7 nights in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, all the activities listed below will be carried out, and the day-to-day program will be presented in the village, according to general demands, mainly the environmental and climatic conditions of the weather.
Our General Schedule:
- Body painting
- Ceremonies of Uni and Rume
(Ayahuasca and Rapé)
- Walk in the Forest
- Rapé Circle
- Storytelling
- Cleaning Medicines
- Traditional Games
- Herbal Bath
- Clay bath
- Hosting for tent and hammock
- Traditional and regional food 3 times a day
We are in the Western Amazon, in the triple border region between Brazil, Peru and Bolivia, in Acre - the State that fought to be Brazilian.
The reception for our travel group is in the city of Rio Branco, at Plácido de Castro International Airport. And it is here, in the city of the last sunset in Brazil, where our journey to the indigenous communities of the region begins.
Our way of traveling within the State of Acre will depend on the exact location of our destination, but it will happen mainly by land and river, and can also be by air, either by air taxi or even by helicopter. In the case of Aldeia Yawarani, access will be via land and river.
In none of our packages is airfare included from the city of origin to Acre, only transport within the state, organized by an External Logistics package which is optional, because we can also guide your arrival and return by bus to the Vila São Vicente, where the river boarding takes place.
INVESTMENT
The Amazon is a sacred temple of Nature, and the Native Peoples are legitimate guardians of the knowledge and wisdom of the green forests, inhabiting this territory since immemorial times.
The descendants of our ancestors live here, and they still use oral tradition to transmit the necessary information to live in the forest in balance with Nature, within the experience of language, culture and age-old tradition.
During our meeting in partnership with the Yawarani and Amparo Villages via @gruposdeviagem.br and @retiro.yawanawa, we will have the blessing of experiencing some of these deep links that connect the Yawanawá People to the Amazon, through material life and spirituality, since forever and forevermore.
This is our real investment in participating in this study group with the Grandparents of the Yawarani Family, the Elders of the Yawanawá People, welcome to all who feel this call!
