An Invitation to Reflect on the Spiritual Path
Why are we drawn to a spiritual path in the first place?
What gives meaning and inspiration to our searching—and what are we truly seeking beneath the surface of that search?
This free meet-and-greet offers space to reflect on our motivation for taking a spiritual path, before committing to deeper study.
The Academy of Oracle Arts is honored to invite you to a free meet-and-greet with Hushahu Yawanawá, a cultural guardian and spiritual leader of the Yawanawá people of the Brazilian Amazon.
Hushahu speaks from lived experience shaped by ancestral tradition and spiritual responsibility. She was the first woman of her people to enter a traditional spiritual initiation once believed impossible for women—undertaking extended periods of isolation, discipline, and study deep in the rainforest.
From this lived crossing, she returned with songs, teachings, and artistic expressions that helped revive spiritual traditions nearly lost to time. Her path opened new possibilities for women within her community and brought renewed vitality, equality, and inspiration to all of her people.
In this gathering, she reflects on how motivation matures over time—from searching for answers to entering into a deeper relationship with a spiritual path shaped by responsibility, discipline, and care.

Meet Hushahu Yawanawa
In 2005 Hushahu was the first woman to enter into a spiritual study in the story of her people and of other tribes in the region, spending one year and three months in Samakẽi - a spiritual retreat isolated deep in the rainforest under strict rules.
During this time she began to discover the world of the Pajés as a woman, expressing this through her art and her voice, bringing a female voice to the traditionally masculine songs. On her return she brought a great inspiration to her people as well as equality between men and women.
This transformation, along with the beauty of the songs and art she brought back, inspired many, both men and women to re-engage with their tradition.
After then spending many years living simply in her village and helping her people, Hushahu began to travel outside of her village. She found many people were searching for the same healing she had discovered in her own life and so she shared her experience, becoming a spiritual leader not only to her people but to many around the world. In 2021 she began to build Centro Awavãna in her village, a project to help her people and open the doors for western visitors to find their healing through the Yawanawá tradition.
In May of 2024, after years travelling and working with visitors in her village, she stopped all of her work to enter into a deeper spiritual retreat - Runua Xinã, making her the only person since the passing of her father to undertake this diet. Searching deeper still, she again spent one year isolated in the jungle, deepening her study of the tradition in order to better help those around the world who come to her.
Now Hushahu is coming out of this time of deep retreat to share again with us. She brings the wisdom of her life’s experiences, sharing the love and depth of study that she carries in her heart.

"As a student of Hushahu Yawanawa, I am so grateful to have experienced her online courses. To access her teachings and spiritual wisdom is truly remarkable, bringing the forest and her force into the moment, no matter the circumstances or distance. While being at Centro Awavana offers profound depths of focused immersion, the online portal and expanded curriculum of the courses open doors for intergration and application with the rhythms of daily life. For me this has been an essential element of carrying forward and tending to the development of my spiritual path and work both in home and community."
EMA
"In September 2023, I joined Hushahu Yawanawá’s online spiritual study, Spirit of Transformation, and it profoundly changed my life.
Even without physically entering the forest, this study opened a deep initiation into personal growth and spiritual maturation.
During this time Hushahu very generously shared many intimate sacred teachings that continue to guide my daily life. These practices have become an anchor for me, helping me to integrate ceremonial experiences into the modern world with grace and integrity.
Hushahu’s humility, depth of study within the Yawanawá culture and embodiment as a woman, mother, daughter, wife, teacher and friend are a living reminder that true transformation is possible.
I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone feeling called into deep, grounded spiritual study.
The path she opened for me is real and the learning is endless."
CATALINA CLARK, MIDWIFE OF HEALING
"Hushahu has been one of the most important teachers in my life. Through her presence, teachings, and transmissions, I have learned how to listen to myself more deeply and to move through the world with my heart open. Meeting her in 2021 marked a turning point in my life, and each year since, returning to the forest has felt like coming home. Through her remote studies, her teachings continue to walk with me, supporting my self-study and guiding me through the challenges of living, loving, and growing within Western society."
