🪴 Traditional Knowledge, Timeless Relevance
For generations, the Shanenawá people have passed down deep ancestral knowledge about the forest, the body, and the balance between them. This educational session offers a respectful introduction to how traditional practices are rooted in observation, rhythm, and reciprocity — and how they continue to guide daily life in the Amazon today.
🎓 What You’ll Learn:
How traditional practices reflect a balanced relationship with nature
The cultural significance of plants, preparation, and ceremony
The role of elders in preserving and transmitting forest knowledge
How body, breath, and ritual are connected in everyday life
Reflections on the importance of protecting cultural knowledge systems
💡 Why This Matters
As modern development threatens Indigenous lands and lifeways, ancestral knowledge is increasingly at risk. Sessions like this raise awareness of how such knowledge serves both the community and the Earth — and why it must be respected, protected, and preserved.
