An Extraordinary Gathering
We are honored to announce a sacred ceremony co-hosted by world-renowned Sápara shaman Manari Ushigua Santi and cohosted by students of Manari, local Reiki Medicine Woman Crystle Castle and Utah based Medicine Woman Sarah Creagh.
This is an incredibly rare opportunity to experience an authentic Amazonian plant medicine ceremony with one of Ecuador's most respected indigenous leaders and forest guardians.
What to Expect
This sacred ceremony will honor traditional Sápara protocols while creating safe, supportive space for healing and spiritual connection. Expect to leave feeling changed for the better: heart open, energy cleansed, mind cleared, grounded & connected to the Earth and your community! 🌎
The evening will include:
🌿 Sacred Cacao - (Optional) Pure, ceremonial-grade cacao sourced directly from the Amazon rainforest served by Crystle Castle & Sarah Creagh, students of Manari
🌬️ Traditional Jauneka (Tobacco) Medicine Clearings - Ancient purification and blessing practices
🎵 Live Ceremonial Music - Sacred sounds from talented local musical artists Shane Kipper and Mariah Priddy to support your journey and healing
🌳 Silent Auction for the Amazon - Various services and items donated by local business
A Call to Action: Protecting the Lungs of Our Earth
The Amazon rainforest - our planet's lungs and the world's center of biodiversity, medicine, and ancient wisdom - faces urgent threats. Illegal loggers are trespassing on Sápara Nation lands, violating established protections and endangering this irreplaceable ecosystem that affects our entire world.
Through our silent auction, we'll raise critical funds to support Manari's ongoing fight to defend these sacred forests. When we protect the Amazon, we protect the future of all life on Earth.
This is a sacred, ceremonial gathering requiring reverence, intention, and commitment to the healing process.
