Ep 33 Sacred Ceremony

Vivien Vilela has 10 years of experience pioneering ethical relations with Indigenous peoples across the Americas. She has played a crucial role in supporting the preservation of Indigenous cultures and global grassroots efforts to protect and restore wild spaces. Born and raised in Brazil, Vivien has dedicated her life to her spiritual studies under the mentorship of some of the most respected Indigenous elders from South, Central, and North America.Through this work, Vivien founded Aniwa©, an international platform that shares Indigenous wisdom and amplifies the voices of Indigenous leaders through an online education portal, an annual gathering, and in-person retreats. Alongside her husband, she has taken a sacred oath and commitment in the Wixarixa tradition to continue to learn and serve her life as a “Marakame”, one that can heal, sing, and dream. This led her to open various spiritual commitments with sacred places around Mexico under the guidance of world-renowned Marakame Don Eustolio Rivera De La Cruz. Driven by her profound reverence for indigenous culture and medicine, Vivien's vision expanded to create the Huya Aniwa Foundation and Institute, dedicated to her continued efforts to preserve sacred land and live in alliance with native collectives.https://geni.us/sacredceremonyhttps://www.aniwa.co/https://www.aniwa.co/aniwa-bookhttps://www.instagram.com/aniwa.co/Upcoming Retreats: https://www.aniwa.co/andes-retreat
