Join IC’s Indigenous Advisory Committee Chair, Jordão Souza, as he talks about his personal journey to the Yawanawá Tribe, and his eventual participation in an intensive, one-year “Muka Dieta” study with one of the great Pajés (shamans) of the Amazon, 98-year-old Tata. As the first person outside the tribe to embark on this “dieta” study, his profound insights provide a glimpse into the beauty and struggles of his historically significant spiritual evolution. Accompanied by 9 Yawanawá, a performance of sacred songs and chants will open and close the presentation. All ages welcome. Funds raised will go towards establishing the Traditional School of Mutum (TSM) in the Mutum Village of Acre, Brazil for Yawanawá children ages 7-14. The TSM will provide food, lodging, and school supplies to children learning their native Yawanawá language, traditional legends, ancestral spiritual practices and sacred plant knowledge, as passed down orally from generation to generation.
