You’re invited to join Kenewma for the study
Feminine Force of the Amazon

~~~

For thousands of years, Western civilization has been disconnected from the ancient earth-based wisdom that our ancestors carried. 

Much of this sacred knowledge is still carried by indigenous communities despite the atrocities that modern civilization has committed to our indigenous brothers and sisters.

You are invited to go on a 3-week long spiritual cleansing and sacred study with Kenewma Yawanawá as she shares her inspiring message of women’s leadership and planetary healing through ancestral wisdom, songs, and prayers of the Amazon.

It is time to reclaim earth-based wisdom and embody this remembrance in our thoughts, words, and actions while living in right relationship with the indigenous communities of our planet.

As we shift towards a new paradigm of partnership, the feminine wisdom that has long been obscured in spiritual lineages worldwide is now rising up to heal and nurture the relationships and leadership we need to evolve.

About Kenewma Yawanawá

Kenewma comes from a long lineage of powerful spiritual leaders and strong women. Her mother, Chief Naiweni Mariazinha was the first female leader of the Yawanawá people and her father, Chief Biraci Nixiwaka, is a strong leader of her people and Aldeia Sagrada.

She is a student who was initiated into one of the strongest spiritual studies within her culture, the diet of the Muka, which is a study many of her people do not attempt. She was the first youth and the third woman in the history of her people to enter this diet.

She is devoted to walking the Yawanawá path of knowledge and innately carries a strong spiritual force within. Kenewma is deeply devoted to the health and well-being of her tribe. Following in the footsteps of her grandfather, mother and father, she both helps and supports the village in any way she can.

She lives in Bahia, Brazil with her husband Jordaõ de Souza and her son Muka. They are building a retreat center and village on the land of Guanashe. She is an incredibly gifted artist making painted clothing and prints and is known for her powerful voice.

About the Yawanawá

For thousands of years the Yawanawá, which is a name translated to the Wild Boar People, have thrived in Brazil’s Amazon forest, despite many outside threats. Prior to the 20th century they lived as free people, not yet having made connection with the Nawa, non-indigenous. When they began making contact, in the early 20th century they spent over 100 years in slavery with the rubber-tappers. It wasn’t until the late 1970’s that they peacefully freed themselves from these corporations and sanctified their land in the state of Brazil. At a low point, the population got down to 60 people; however, despite all the forces their culture was protected.

Since then, the Yawanawá have been reclaiming their ancient spiritual practices, traditions and ways of life. They work to preserve the forest not only for themselves but also for the world. From it they extract their life, their spirituality and also their survival.

Today, the Yawanawá people, of roughly 1,200 people, have 200,000 hectares of demarcated land in the state of Acre, Brazil located in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. They invite people of all walks to life to visit, to learn and encourage culture exchange for the growth and preservation of their spirituality and our planet.
