Teachings from the Forest with the Indigenous Huni Kuin Women of the Amazon

[4-WEEK ONLINE STUDY PROGRAM]
17 SEPTEMBER - 15 OCTOBER, 2025

This one-month online study program invites you into a space of listening, learning, and relational study with Indigenous Huni Kuin women from the Brazilian Amazon, their partnering NGO and cross-cultural researcher, Alisa. Through intimate conversations on Zoom, video lectures, a curated library with interviews, documentaries, literature and study impulses and other exclusive materials, we explore ways of knowing that emerge from forest, lineage, ritual, and resistance.

Anchored in the voices of women who carry ancestral memory and contemporary vision, this journey offers an encounter with living knowledge that is both deeply rooted and urgently relevant.

“We must reforest our spirit to heal the earth”

Speakers

  • Rita Huni Kuin

    Rita Huni Kuin lives in the remote village of Jordão in the state of Acre in the Brazilian Amazon. She is a visual artist, depicting traditional stories of her culture in her art. Her works have been exposed in the São Paulo Museum of modern art and at Berlin Art week, amongst others. Rita is one of the major young female representatives and communicators of the Huni Kuin people. She is co-founder of the Kayatibu group, which promotes the culture and spirituality of its people through the arts, and of the Indigenous women’s association Ainbu Dayá.

  • Alexandra Schwarz-Schilling

    For Alexandra, the earth is very close to their heart, and they wish for a more people- and life-friendly culture in many areas. Much of what humans do may seem normal, but it is not natural at all; rather, it is often hostile to life and destructive. For this reason, they are committed to preserving pristine natural areas and supporting indigenous cultures like the Huni Kuin. Through the founding of Living Gaia e.V. in 2013 in Berlin and many years of voluntary board work, they continue to contribute to making the world a better place.

  • Alisa Reimer

    Alisa has studied and worked in academia in México and Germany - mainly in Cultural & Latin American Studies and Philosophy & Psychology. In her research and educational formats she bridges the scientific and ceremonial realm by exploring the role that ancient cosmologies and practices play in postmodern times.
