FOR THE
Psychedelic Renaissance
Do you have cultural appreciation and deep respect for the subtle art of ayahuasca ceremony?
Discover the Yawanawá’s unique, ancestral practice of shamanic healing with uní (ayahuasca) and why this ancient wisdom remains entirely relevant in the Psychedelic Renaissance.
Join Chief Isku Kua of Nova Esperança, Brazil, as he reveals the essential skills, tools and techniques needed to create a powerfully healing ceremonial space…
…especially if you are a coach, therapist or healer seeking to serve in the psychedelic sector.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW HOW THE SUBTLE ART OF AYAHUASCA CEREMONY CAN POTENTIATE HEALING & SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION?
For scientists, ayahuasca is a foul-tasting brown liquid filled with molecules that have intriguing effects on the psyche, and the therapeutic potential to treat persistent depression, addiction, and PTSD.
For the indigenous, ayahuasca is a sacred teacher, a healer, and an ancient mystery school which, if we stay humble and listen, can offer us the profound healing and purification we need in order to evolve into our highest selves.
The Yawanawá, the people of the wild boar, have been using uní for healing, spiritual purposes, and community celebration since the beginning of their history. Uní is part of their cultural heritage and the origin story of their people.
What Western science fails to understand is that it is not just the molecules in the medicine, it is the entire ceremonial container that potentiates the healing experience.
Within the sacred, ceremonial container, Yawanawá wisdom keepers will use sacred plants, fire, chants and music as shamanic tools to assist in healing and purification, along with elevating the visionary healing experience.
During this masterclass, Yawanawá Chief Isku Kua will share with us his perspective on why aspiring professionals in the Psychedelic Renaissance might want to learn sacred space-holding concepts, techniques, and songs directly from indigenous wisdom keepers.
As the Psychedelic Renaissance expands, the ancestral indigenous practice of ayahuasca ceremony is getting diluted.
More and more non-indigenous facilitators are offering ayahuasca ceremonies with recorded playlists, in ways that do not take into account energetic and spiritual safety that the wisdom keepers are attuned to, which can have suboptimal consequences for participants - physically, emotionally and psychologically.
Join us for a direct transmission from the Yawanawá tribe on what it truly takes to hold an impeccable ceremonial space for the most powerful healing to unfold.
