Hushahu Yawanawá

In 2005, Hushahu became the first Yawanawá woman to enter a spiritual study, spending over a year in deep isolation in Samakẽi, where she discovered the world of the Pajés as a woman. She expressed this awakening through her art and voice, bringing a female presence to the traditionally male songs of her people. Her return marked a transformation, inspiring men and women alike to re-engage with their traditions. Now a respected spiritual leader, her visionary designs influence indigenous art across Brazil. In 2024, she entered Runua Xinã, a sacred retreat, deepening her connection to ancestral wisdom to better serve those who seek her guidance. Hushahu carries a nurturing yet powerful presence, sharing her deep spiritual knowledge with love and devotion.
