The Sacred Circle

19/07/2025

Dear tribe,

With open hearts, we warmly invite you to a sacred gathering—a unique opportunity to sing, pray, heal, and celebrate life together with Nawá Siã and his wife Yaka Banu, esteemed guardians of the forest and representatives of the Huni Kuin people from Acre, Brazil.

We are deeply honored to host two ceremonial gatherings on July 25th and 26th, held on our blessed land in the Netherlands. These ceremonies will be an immersive journey into ancestral healing, sacred chants, and spiritual wisdom. Guided by the profound presence of Nawá Siã and Yaka Banu, and held by our trusted team, we will co-create a safe and heart-centered space where deep healing and spiritual awakening can unfold.

In addition, there will be a Sacred Hãpaya Baptism Ceremony on Wednesday, July 23rd. This is a powerful initiation into the sacred pepper dieta—an ancient practice to open the voice and the path for those who feel called to embody the prayer and song of the forest.

On Thursday, July 24th, we will host a Storytelling, Rapé & Singing Circle, where you are invited to listen, share, and connect more deeply with the medicine songs and teachings of the Huni Kuin lineage.

There is also the opportunity to receive individual healing sessions, available before, during, and after the weekend ceremonies. Healing sessions are aimed at cleaning and balancing the energy field, nurturing spiritual energy and healing spiritual and physical disharmony.

If you feel the call to walk this sacred path and receive the blessings of this ancient tradition, or if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out via email:
📩 Email: thesacredcircle@protonmail.com

We look forward to sharing this sacred space with you.

Haux Haux • Só Alegria🙏🫶🔥🦅🪶😇💜

Dear tribe

We are deeply honored to welcome Nawá Siã, his wife Yaka Banu, and their daughter Kaya from the Huni Kuin tribe to our sacred land in the Netherlands from July 22nd to 29th. On July 25th and 26th, we will host two profound Ceremonies. We still have open spots on both days for you to join.

We also have this very special opportunity to organize a sacred Hãpaya baptism Ceremony On the 23rd of July.

Hãpaya, known as “Baptism of Pepper”, is a very sacred ritual in Huni Kuin culture. Conducted by Nawá Siã, the baptism is done with prayers, songs and a pepper macerate (yutxi), which Nawá Siã passes on the initiate's tongue with the beak of the Txana bird, known in Portuguese as japinim, a bird that mimics the song of all other birds.

As Nawá Siã dips the bird’s beak or a macaw feather into the pepper infusion and applies it to the initiate's tongue, he chants specific prayers. The initiate must extend their tongue, allowing saliva to drip while feeling the intense burning sensation on their tongue.

The baptism is done in the village on people who wish to become masters of singing and prayer. The practice is therefore a ritual to "open the chant" and "ignite the memory" of the singers, so that they can be spokespersons from the forest, invoking its sounds, prayers and spirits. This ritual is designed to assist in the learning of songs, enhance memory, strengthen the voice, and help the person open their voice, improving their ability to sing, communicate, and express themselves more freely.

Feel very welcome to join our circle! For more info or if you wish to signup please send me an email to thesacredcircle@protonmail.com

“”Deer”” Tribe,

With humility and gratitude, we are thrilled to announce that from the 19th to the 24th of June, Marakame Don Florentino (Hainiuweme) from the Wixarika tribe will be visiting our sacred land in the Netherlands!

Marakame Don Florentino offers the possibility to participate in a individual one-on-one Healing Sessions (Limpia). Florentino went through a lifetime of shamanic healing, dieting and deep personal work before becoming a Marakame (shaman). During his years of study he has gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom that he puts into practice during the healing session.

On the 19th and 21st of June, during the Summer Solstice, we will also organize two profound Sacred Wixarika Ceremonies. We still have some spots available for you to join!

The Limpia are recommended to anyone who seeks balance, prosperity, harmony, and physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. These healing sessions do not take long, but the healing process continues after the session is finished. That's why we recommend to arrange enough rest for after the healing. You may receive the healing for yourself, and / or for a loved one through a photograph. The Limpia is done through a Mouvieri, an element consists of two eagle feathers, to a wooden stick / arrow. It tells where energy is accumulated in your body and makes you a diagnosis of symptoms that are suffering in the present moment. The healing energy connect through the Mouvieri, giving the breath of life, fills you with energy and then extracts the disease materializing negative energy in the form of small stones / crystals removed from the body.

Marakame Don Florentino De la Cruz (Hainiuweme)
Marakame Don Florentino De la Cruz, also known as Hainiuweme, meaning 'the one that talks to the clouds,' is the son of the late master Marakame Don Emilio and the brother of Don Eugenio and Don Eusebio. He lives in the La Laguna Village close to San Andres (Tatei Kie) Village. At just 42 years old, he is an experienced Marakame, a skilled traditional musician, and a precise healer. He has held various positions at the Ceremonial Center from a young age and is currently the main fire keeper at the La Laguna Ceremonial Center for the next five years. Florentino guides and initiates the youth of the ceremonial center (jicareros) and has traveled across Central and South America and Europe, sharing the traditional ways of the millennia-old Wixárika culture.

Feel free to contact us for more info or if you want to signup for these sacred, immersive gatherings. You can reach us via email: thesacredcircle@protonmail.com

Hope to see you soon!

Pekã Rasu
Pekã Rasu (52) is one of the spiritual leaders of Yawaraní and the oldest son of the pajé Yawaraní. He was among the last three students that received the Muká Samakei under his father's guidance. Experience that brought him to dedicate his life to the study and the continuation of Yawanawá spiritual tradition. He empowered himself on this path strongly, going each day deeper in the the sacredness of this work. He has followed the call of the mission that his father has left as a legacy, continuing this way the lineage and the study of his culture.

Together with the support of his family he created Pekã Rasu space, a spiritual center inside the Amazon forest, 10 minutes away from Yawaraní by boat, where participants can go into retreat and solitude, a space for spiritual practice, initiations and traditional Diets.

Yawavênê
Yawavênê is the eldest son of Pekã Rasu. A young man with a spirit of leadership. He is always at the forefront of the experiences that take place in the village, such as building houses, hunting, keeping the fire, basically taking care of the village and also studying along side his father the path of Yawanawá spirituality. He is a young man dedicated to spiritual studies and work within his village. Yawavêne is a musical artist and brings his joy, his motivation supporting the culture through his young male strength and energy.

Paka Shahu
Like many members of the family and all her sisters, Paka Shahu was naturally introduced and taught the knowledge of her tribe. She learned from her family and from personal experience in other villages how to hold her space with her music and with her strong feminine presence. Accompanying her father Pekã Rasu it’s creating a very special connection between the work and the lineage of her family. She lives with her daughter most of the time in Yawaraní or in the center of her father. On last couple year's journeys around Europe she was already sharing her profound, strong and beautiful voice, her female force and her joy. She is an experienced artist of the paintings of the Yawanawá Kênes (paint of sacred visions) manifesting it in intricate face or body paintings and traditional jewelry.

Pakayuva
Pakayuva (Tabita) is the wife of Yawavênê. Together they have 4 children. She is the daughter of Nainawa, who is well known for being a master of Hapé. From a young age, she supports her husband on this path, beside her family role. In that way she has become a unique voice of the woman of the Yawanawa people and a strong presence in the altar. She is a master of the creation of art and crafts and Kêne, the sacred geometry coming from the interpretation of the Yawanawa cosmology.
