Friday May 30th 

4-7 pm

Private Residence, Montecito Address Will Be Provided After Purchase

Hosted by Bane Saleh, Giuliana Mottin and PALMA Colectiva

The fundraiser ceremony will be led by Yube Huni Kuin, vice president of the Huni Kuin Federation. Yube is often referred to as the buddha of the rainforest and radiates joy, gratitude and his love for the rainforest. During this ceremony, participants will be cleansed with smoke and face painted for protection. Yube will chant ancestral prayers of the Huni Kuin and will serve two medicines: hapeh (tobacco snuff) and sananga (eye drops). Hapeh is used for meditation and cleansing. Sananga is used to remove
blockages and receive clarity. Yube will be accompanied by guardians to support the ceremony. Guests do not have to participate in hapeh or sananga. We will close with tea and a light meal provided by SATELITE. *ADULTS ONLY

They have lived in ecological harmony with nature for thousands of years; Their culture, history, and entire existence depend on it.
