What past participants are saying about this experience...
- Dennise R, Family Therapist
This trip changed me in ways I could never imagine. From feeling the love of community to freeing my inner child, I saw life in the way it was supposed to be lived through the lens of the Yawanawa people.
Learning about their culture and way of life, has given me a greater appreciation for all the beauty of the world more than I ever had before.
Having the opportunity to enjoy it with people I’ve never met before, and truly meeting your soul family, made the experience even more special as they will support you and be the mirror to reflect you back to you in the most beautiful way.
The magic of the Amazonia will truly heal you if you allow it to. If you feel the call to go, don’t hesitate and follow that call. It will literally catapult you into your biggest expansion filled with the most incredible outcomes.
in the healing, joy, and magic of the Yawanawá Indigenous people in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.
COME IMMERSE YOURSELF
It is the greatest blessing that the Nova Esperança (New Hope) Village of the Yawanawá indigenous territory has opened their doors to the world with an invitation for you to journey back to the natural.

ABOUT THE YAWANAWÁ
The Yawanawá are an Indigenous group that live up the Gregorio river in Acre, Brasil.
There are currently about ~1200 that occupy the tribe.
Their chief Nixiwaka, his wife, Putanny (the first female shaman of Brasil), and their entire family - including the Chief’s son, Iskukua (the chief of Nova Esperança) have staked their claim on the world stage as leaders in continuing the ancient traditions of their tribe in the heart of the Amazon.
The opening of the Isku Vakehuhu Children's cultural center in Nova Esperança is a huge step in the right direction in maintaining their cultural tradition for the future generation children

Chief Iskukua is chief of Nova Esperanca village and the son of the Head Chief of the Yawanawa - Nixiwaka.
For the past several years Iskukua has been dedicating himself to the preservation of Yawanawa culture.
In October 2022, he opened the Children's Isku Vakehuhu Center as a way to maintain the Yawanawa language, music, and traditions amongst the younger generation
You are a part of this preservation, as this expedition will be taking place at the center itself and your contributions will be directly supporting the school!
