WEEK I
PREPARING TO ENTER THE AMAZONIAN RAINFOREST AND MEETING HER GUARDIANS
We stand at the threshold of the living forest, where every breath carries ancient songs and every leaf holds the memory of reciprocal life. To enter the Amazon is to step into a world that breathes with intelligence older than our words, where the trees themselves are libraries and the rivers flow with stories untold.
This is an initiation into relationship - with the forest as living entity, with the guardians who have kept the threads alive, with the feminine wisdom that pulses through every root and branch. We prepare as students ready to be transformed by what we encounter.
The forest chooses who enters her deepest teachings. As we ready ourselves for this communion, we honor those who have kept her secrets sacred, who speak her language fluently, who know her moods and medicines. We come to receive what is offered, to learn the art of listening to a world that has much to teach us about being truly alive. And being in true relation-ship.
Together, we cross this threshold with reverence, knowing that the forest and her GUARDIANS will reshape us in ways we cannot yet imagine.
- Grateful for this journey with you, Alisa.
Welcome, beautiful souls, to Chapter I of GUARDIANS! Before us lies a journey of discovery and connection. What begins here: the relationships we nurture, the insights and teachings we receive—will weave through every moment of our time together. Let us acknowledge the importance of this undertaking: a shared voyage into the Invisible Worlds that will transform us each in our own unique way. And at the same time it is a collective journey, a communal experience into the unknown and into remembrance.

This Chapter’s Content
Go through the different aspects [Communitas, Study, Practice, Ritual] below at your own pace and in your own flow. To fully integrate the teachings and insights available during this journey, consider having a daily Invisible Worlds moment to ensure consistent follow-up.
COMMUNITAS
Please share your intention for GUARDIANS in the telegram channel, in “Community Chat”. Like this we can create accountability for completing the different steps and, beyond that, exchange ideas, experiences, and resources related to this shared journey within our temporary study community.
Read below: Create your GUARDIANS altar and share a picture in our Telegram chat of it.
Whatever else is coming your way, what you feel inspiring or resonating with our study group - please feel free to share it in our community chat.
STUDY & REFLECTION
I encourage you to create an Invisible Worlds folder, with some of the texts printed out, scribbles, drawings and insights. While having everything digitally organized is convenient, I truly believe that old-school methods—holding something tangible in your hands—can amplify inspiration and enhance the sense of magic. In fact, magic and alchemy prefer non-digital spaces.
Please watch the video with the lecture. Please take some notes!
What is new for you?
What would you like to ask Alexandra?
What would you like to know about the Huni Kuin people?
What resonates and inspires you?
Please bring your notes to the upcoming zoom class!
PRACTICE
Further below you will find the link to this week’s meditation. Get cozy and put it on. After the meditation, you are invited to sit another 10 minutes within the space that has opened by the impulses given.
RITUAL
You are invited to install your “GUARDIANS” altar. Let yourself be guided by whatever inspires you. Notes, candles, flowers, stones, natural objects, memories, poetry, postcards - what else is coming your way? Maybe your altar is very minimal, maybe it is full of non-ordinary things? If you have an altar at home already, that is great. But take the chance to re-install it or create a new one for GUARDIANS! We will speak more about it during our upcoming meetings, but for now: let yourself be guided to create your altar, without too much mind or thought on it. AND: Please share a picture of your altar in the “Community Chat” in our telegram channel. This inspires all of us and we can connect our network of altars.
A guiding impulse to create your altar is: What is guiding you? What is protecting you? What do you want to protect?
