This year, we visit them.
Last year the Yawanawá family visited our territory in Putumayo. This year, we journey to theirs.
We immerse ourselves in the mysteries of the medicine, joined and guided by the Yawanawá people of Brazil. This invitation is extended to all who feel called to keep learning from the mysteries of the jungle, in one of the most remote and sacred corners of the Amazon.
