Kuntanawa Ceremony May 9-11, 2025
We are SO EXCITED to be a part of the Kuntanawa coming back to Nashville! 🍃
Their previous weekend of ceremonies here was SO POWERFUL and SO BEAUTIFUL, and we are envisioning even more goodness and healing this time!
The Kuntanawa are a tribe of indigenous people from Acre, Brazil in the Amazon Rainforest.
Their mission is multifaceted:
* To share their traditions of plant medicines for the sake of spiritual awakening, self-discovery, empowerment, unity, and healing
* To take their message of care for Mother Earth and for their home to the world - encouraging sustainability, conservation, and reforestation in the Amazon (which they lovingly refer to as the "lungs of the earth")
Tribe leader Prince Haru and his wife Dr. Hayra (both pictured below) of the Kuntanawa Nation are traveling through the US this Spring, and we are grateful to be co-hosting them in Nashville!
This is a beautiful opportunity to sit in plant medicine ceremony with some of the indigenous and generational keepers of this tradition.
These ceremonies are also a beautiful homage to the Mother, as they fall on Mother's day weekend.
A sacred time to sit with gratitude for Mother Earth, Grandmother Tea, the beauty of creativity, and a loving heart.
And you don't have to travel all the way to the Amazon to do it! 🍃

Haru and Hayra have an AMAZING love story. Harya was living in Boulder, CO at the time. She was a practicing Chinese medicine doctor.
She received a vision while meditating in the Akashic Records to travel to Peru and wait in a specific cafe, in the town of Pisac, for an indigenous-looking man, foretold to be her future husband.
Hayra bravely followed these intuitive instructions and travelled to Peru and to the very cafe she saw in her meditation. In walked Haru, and the energy between them was so strong that she fainted on the spot!
She accompanied him to the Kuntanawa village in Brazil where their bond deepened. They eventually married and now have 2 kids who travel with them as they bring healing to the people through ceremony and stand for the needs of the Amazon through their educational eco-conservation efforts.

Here is a sample schedule for the weekend:
* These times are subject to change as we flow through the weekend.
The Kuntanawa Nation Ceremony is a transformative experience that allows individuals to truly comprehend the immense power and wisdom of medicinal plants.
Over the course of the ceremony, the Grandmother Tea rituals provide a profound connection with the spiritual realm, unlocking insights and healing.
Haru has been learning from this medicine since he was 7 years old. There is a long lineage of shamans that flows through Haru's family. His father was the Shaman to the tribe before Haru.
You will be in ceremony with an incredibly powerful and experienced lineage as held by the Kuntanawas.
Feel free to share this page with other friends on the path. We trust your wisdom and discretion as you share.
We hope to sit with you in 🍃 Sacred Circle 🍃 friends!
