About Waxy Yawanawa and the Mawa Yuxyn family
Waxy was one of the Yawanawa women to complete the Muka diet, one of the most profound and important initiation diets of her people's spirituality. For more than 10 years she has dedicated her path to the study of Yawanawa ancestral spirituality.
Waxy is currently the physical and spiritual female leader of the Mawa Yuxyn (Mountain of Spirits) Center.
Together with her family, she develops works with traditional ceremonies around the world, and receives retreat groups for study and experiences in her own home inside the forest, in the Indigenous Land of Rio Gregório, municipality of Tarauacá in Acre, Brasil.
Waxy and her family invite you to visit the Mawa Yuxyn Center, a place to immerse yourself in the ancestral and feminine power of the Yawanawa forest.
The Yawanawa people
The Yawanawa people have their villages around on the Gregório River, in Acre, a Brazilian state that borders Peru and Bolivia. Like many indigenous peoples in Brazil, the Yawanawa people have a very strong history, and after having their lands demarcated, after contact with non-indigenous people, they went through a profound process of rescuing their ancestral culture.
Currently the Yawanawa people are known around the world for hosting thousands of people from various parts of the world in their villages for festivals, retreats, experiences and transmission of ancestral knowledge, as a means of redefining the importance of nature and indigenous knowledge for us, for the coming generations, and for the planet. They also open works and ceremonies with traditional ancestral medicines, not only in their own lands, but in other countries and continents.
The Yawanawa people are known for the power of their unique joy, which they spread through the beauty of their traditional songs, enchanting everyone in their contact.
From this important rescue, the people have resumed their spirituality as a guide, as they were in time immemorial.
