About this Retreat
We will be honored by the presence of Medicine Man (Pajé) Nei Bai Pae Nawa, wisdom bearer and teacher of the traditional school of the Huni Kuin. He is a living legend of his people – the master of sacred chants and healing prayers that guide us through our journey with a beautiful heart full of wisdom and ancient stories.
A Txana student of the path of traditional medicine, Yube underwent different initiations and diets (studies), earning the name of Txanabu. Yube is also a composer of many Huni Kuin sacred chants and through his humbleness and beautiful voice, he brings joy, peace, and harmony to the hearts of all people.
Is of German-Berber origin and has been in contact with indigenous communities since a young age. She’s the mother of a Huni Kuin child and is a long-time apprentice and messenger of the Amazon forest, its medicines, and indigenous cultures.
For the last 4 years she has been working with the Huni Kuin people of Caucho, supporting the community in creating projects that strengthen their culture, spirituality, traditional practices, while also protecting their forest home.
She has traveled for the last 7 years with indigenous spiritual leaders, bringing the message of the forest around the globe with the intention of awakening the sensitivity in people's hearts to become part of these great projects that will support indigenous communities, protect the Amazon forest and help the planet.

The Huni Kuin are an indigenous people from the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon whose communities are located along the Tarauacá, Jorda˜o, Breu, Muru, Envira, and Humaita˜ Rivers in Brazil and the Purus and Curanja Rivers in Peru. There are about ten thousand members of the community today and their name translates to ‘true people.’ Plant medicine and shamanism is integral to how the Huni Kuin interact with the natural and spirit worlds.
