RELIGARE
INSTITUTE
SERVICE & VOCATION
Instituto Religare is a space dedicated to spiritual experiences with ayahuasca and cultural ceremonies in partnership with Indigenous peoples. Here, we seek to provide a welcoming environment where you can share your spiritual journey and deepen your understanding of the practices we offer.
Feel free to explore and learn more about who we are.
Experiences with Forest Medicines
All ceremonies held at Instituto Religare take place within a sacred ritual context, where every detail is intentionally designed to provide a profound experience of spiritual connection.
In alignment with the Institute’s mission, each experience is carefully planned with the purpose of strengthening communion and closeness with God (the Creator), allowing participants to find a path of inner transformation and spiritual growth.
The ceremonies are structured to promote emotional harmonization, release negative thought patterns, and support the reprogramming of the self—enabling us to walk toward a renewed, prosperous, and abundant life, always aligned with the divine presence in our daily lives.
Here, every experience is an invitation to awakening—a call to elevate consciousness and live true transformation.

✨ PATH CLEARING – INVOCATION OF ARCHANGEL MICHAEL ✨
Do you feel like your life is not moving forward?
Does an invisible weight seem to hold you back?
Is your exhaustion deeper than physical fatigue, as if something within you is asking for release?
Throughout life’s journey, we accumulate promises, ties, and spiritual bonds that can become chains, preventing us from moving ahead. But there is a path to liberation.
🔹 Instituto Religare invites you to a Path Clearing experience with Archangel Michael. 🔹
This is a ceremony of strength and renewal, where we invoke Archangel Michael and the celestial forces to perform a deep spiritual cleansing and restore order in your life.
✨ Breaking spiritual contracts and unhealthy bonds
✨ Release from karmic debts and inherited burdens
✨ Removal of spiritual and emotional blockages
✨ Restoration of inner peace and balance
A night of profound healing, where the weight that has held you back is cut away by the sword of truth and justice of Archangel Michael.
If you feel the calling, answer it. Freedom is within your reach.

THE YAWANAWÁ
According to the oral tradition of Indigenous peoples, when Nuke Sheni (God) created each nation, He granted each one a special gift. To the Yawanawá, He gave the gift of song.
Their voices carry healing power, with a unique sound that no other people can reproduce. They are known as Yuveya Vakehu Shuvia — the people who heal illnesses with their voices, through the strength of their sacred chants.
YAWANAWÁ SONGS
The Yawanawá use their songs as a sacred means of healing. Their chants are prayers that access the spirits of the forest, bringing balance and purification to those who listen.
Each chant carries a spiritual force capable of transformation and healing.
THE GROUP
Katê Yuvê Yawanawá, young leader and chief of Yawakuni Village, follows in the footsteps of his father, the shaman Yawakuni Yawanawá, bringing the culture and spirituality of his people to Southern Brazil.
Yawa Tume and his younger sister Keneihu Yawanawá bring joy and depth, expressing the feminine voice and strength that inspire and fill our souls with the power of their chants.
Katê Yuvê completed the Muká Diet, one of the most important Yawanawá initiation practices. This rite connects him directly to the spirits of the forest, granting him the authority to lead ceremonies and share healing chants.
With the permission of his father, the shaman Yawakuni Yawanawá, Katê brings these sacred prayers to assist in physical and spiritual healing, as well as deep learning through the forest medicines.
