About.
This is a very special opportunity to be in an intimate container with the spiritual leaders of the Yawanawa people.
Chief Nixiwaka is one of the most important indigenous leader of our time. His wife Puttany and her sister are the first woman in their tradition to work with the ancestral medicines. The ancient songs of the Yawanawa are like anthems for humanity, they bring us home to our hearts with so much joy. This will be a powerful experience bringing the transmission community & family - held by six of the most incredible healers and musicians of the Yawanawa. We will also be joined by a very special healer from the Marubo tribe.

Getting here.
Yacumama is in Ojochal, a small town near the Pacific Ocean, known for its international fine dining, which is part of the Ballena (whale) Coast.
We are 30-40 minutes south of Dominical and 15-20 minutes south of Uvita, where the Envision Festival has been held for the past ten+ years. The Osa Peninsula (the 5th most bio-diverse place on the planet) is just 2 hours south.
Yacumama is a 3-4 hour drive southwest of the international airport, SJO.
From San Jose or other airports in the country you can also take a 45 minute flight on a small plane or even hire a small private plane to Quepos airport which is about an hour drive from Yacumama.
