Celebrate With Us - January 2026 Immersion

Hello, family! I hope you are all very well. We are here once again to share something important — an invitation from the heart.

From January 6th to 12th, 2026, we will gather for a traditional celebration and medicine immersion in the heart of the Amazon forest, together with the Varinawa and Kamanawa families. This is an open call to everyone who feels drawn to experience the Amazon forest, the culture of the Noke Koî people, and the spirituality that guides our lives. This immersion will also be a celebration of my birthday — a moment of joy, gratitude, and deep connection.

During this week, we will work with our sacred medicines — plant baths, body painting, traditional foods, and ceremonies with Kambo, Rapé, Sananga, and Ayahuasca. There will be storytelling from our ancestral cosmology, sacred songs, and teachings from our elders, who carry the wisdom of generations.

Our ancestors have worked with these medicines since the beginning of our existence. Even under great pressure from Western society, the Noke Koî have kept our language Noke Vana, and traditions alive. Today, 95% of our community still speaks our mother tongue, a living expression of our identity and resistance. Our language is the root of our culture, our spirituality, our songs, and our connection with Mother Nature.

We are in a time of deep cultural strengthening, and we invite all who seek healing through sacred plants to come directly to the forest — to our home, to our village, to the source of this sacred spirit. Come and see how we work with these medicines that bring healing, protection, and ancestral wisdom. These experiences are moments of reconnection — with nature, with the forest, and with the spirit that lives in every tree, every river, and every song.

Through our cultural immersions and traditional diets, we share the spiritual and cultural wealth of our people. Here, you can deepen your studies and truly understand what these medicines represent for us. Our home and our village are open to welcome you with joy, love, and respect.

If you already walk with sacred medicines, this is a chance to deepen your understanding — to learn directly from the forest, from the pajés and tianás who dedicate their lives to this path. The forest teaches us humility, simplicity, and honesty — values that nature offers freely to those who listen.

This is a sacred time for the healing of humanity — a time to restore balance in our bodies, calm in our hearts, and peace in our spirits. The world is calling us to return to the roots of life, to remember the wisdom that lives in the forest and in the breath of every living being.

Through the prayers of the pajés, the songs of the elders, and the sacred rituals of cleansing, we begin to release what no longer serves us. The forest medicines — the plants, the roots, the leaves — carry the energy of transformation. They help us to see with clarity, to feel with truth, and to walk again with strength and humility.

May the Great Spirit bring light, peace, love, joy, and prosperity to all of us. May there always be food on our tables, and may our families live in respect, love, and harmony.
