Indigenous Yawanawa Retreat
With Yawa Yawanawa, Silvania De Brito, Derek Peltier, Grace Charles, Ashleigh Britton Addison and Roy Anderson
July 24 - 26, 2026
Join us for a sacred weekend with Yawa & Tivēne Yawanawá, carriers of ancestral wisdom, prayer, and the living traditions of the forest.
Yawa Yawanawá has dedicated his life to walking the spiritual path of his ancestors, continuing the legacy of his grandfather, Yawarani, through years of Samakei (traditional spiritual diets), prayer, sacred music, and devotion to service.
Alongside him is Tivēne, his wife, who carries a strong feminine presence and recently completed her own spiritual diet, walking beside him with love, humility, and devotion.
Your Retreat Experience
Begin your journey with sacred evening ceremonies on Friday and Saturday night, with an optional Saturday daytime ceremony.

Sound Bath Meditation
Allow the healing frequencies and soothing sounds to guide you into deeper states of relaxation, reflection, and inner peace.
Yoga & Movement
Rejuvenate your body through gentle movement and breath, creating space for grounding, openness, and connection.
Nourishing Meals
Enjoy delicious, wholesome meals prepared with love and care to support your physical, emotional, and spiritual journey.
Integration & Journaling
Our retreat includes integration support to help process your experiences and bring the wisdom gained into daily life. Dedicated journaling time allows space for reflection, clarity, and personal insight.
Your Invitation
This is your invitation to step into a sacred space of healing, prayer, connection, and empowerment.
Connect deeply with yourself, the forest, ancestral wisdom, and a supportive community as you explore new dimensions of consciousness.
Reserve your space and begin a journey that continues long after the retreat ends.
