Tomorrow evening, join Roman Hanis from the Paititi Institute for a special book talk and conversation on Beyond Ayahuasca at Nadim’s shop Nomadic Vintage Rugs.

These woven textiles carry stories, prayers, symbols, and lineages from many lands. In the same way, our work through the Paititi Institute is about weaving together the wisdom of the Andes, the Amazon, the Himalayas, and ancestral traditions across the Earth.

This is more than a book talk. It is part of a global initiative to reconnect the children and elders of the world through living wisdom, cultural preservation, and ancestral schools being developed in the Amazon rainforest, the Andes, and the Himalayas.

Come gather with us in this beautiful and unexpected space filled with texture, history, and living artistry.

Thursday, May 28
6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

You can explore more about the Paititi Institute, our nonprofit initiatives, retreats, and global projects through our website and social media channels.

Beyond Ayahuasca books are now in stock at New Renaissance Bookshop in Portland.

We have heard that ordering online is taking a while, so if you are planning to come to one of Roman Hanis' book talks or any of the Paititi Living Wisdom Series events and would like a copy, you can stop by New Renaissance and grab one ahead of time. We also know life gets busy, so if you would like Joanna to pick up a copy for you, send her a DM and she can pick up one Wednesday morning for you!

Paititi team has been working on improving some of the registration forms and making the backend easier and smoother for everyone. You do not need to register in advance... Just come and we will get you registered in person and make it easy. Please reach out to me or anyone on the Paititi team if you need help getting organized. We are happy to help.

Looking forward to seeing everyone Thursday morning at PACHA Urban Retreat: Gisela’s Elemental Yoga and Roman’s Qigong. Then gathering again Thursday evening for Roman's book talk at Nomadic Vintage Rugs in Portland.

See you soon!!! Joanna, Roman and Paititi Team

Well-Cared Woman meets Wild Woman
This morning when I woke up, I had a message come through in meditation: The Well-Cared Woman.
I started asking myself, what does that actually mean? To me, a well-cared woman is someone who nourishes herself deeply. She eats well, takes care of herself, carves out time for her own healing and self-care, and honors herself enough to receive support.
So I listened.
I chose myself today and went to Gisela’s beautiful Elemental Yoga class and Earth School, where I also got to step into partner breathwork teacher training with Allie. I spent nearly four hours in self-care, healing, connection, and being held.
And somewhere in the middle of it all, there we were… Gisela, Shelly, Chelsea, and I and our wild morning hair. The Well-Cared Woman meeting the Wild Woman. It felt like these archetypes weaving together… grounded care and primal force. I absolutely adore being in these medicine spaces with my sisters.
I feel so happy and incredibly lucky that I get to spend time with beautiful women doing deep healing work while also learning how to truly take care of myself. For probably the first time in my life, I feel our community safe container and trust that the people around me genuinely have me held, so sweetly and with such care.
Deep gratitude to Gisela for creating these sacred spaces for us to gather, heal, connect, and remember that we were never meant to do this alone. So grateful for you SiStar 🤍

"In this tradition, it's considered that the life energy gets stuck in different places in our organism, mainly the joints first, like pebbles get stuck on the bends of a river."

Join Roman Hanis for a special live experience of Alchemy of Immortality Daoist QiGong / Andean Art of Being.

Beginning barefoot to activate connection with the Earth's bioelectromagnetic frequency and awaken vitality within the organism, we gently open the joints through movement and breath, helping release stagnant energy and restore the natural flow of life force.

These practices open the energy channels of the organism, allowing for a deeper connection with the vital power of organic intelligence inside and out. Through movement, breath, and presence, we begin bringing Body, Mind, Emotions, and Spirit into a focal point, remembering our greatest natural potential.

Facilitated by Roman Hanis, a special visit from Peru

So much of what shapes our lives is not our past itself, but the ways our past continues to influence our choices, reactions, and relationships in the present moment.

In dreamwork, every symbol, emotion, memory, and archetype becomes an ingredient. The question is not how to erase or fix the past. The question becomes: how do we learn to work with these ingredients in a way that creates something meaningful and nourishing for our lives?

Like a skilled chef seeing possibility within raw ingredients, dreamwork teaches us how to recognize the hidden wisdom within our own experiences and begin weaving those pieces into something greater.

Through the lens of the Hero’s Journey, we begin to see our challenges, gifts, passions, and inspirations not as random events, but as essential parts of our awakening and our next stage of becoming.

Join Roman Hanis from Peru as we explore the deeper language of dreams and the wisdom already living within you.

Join us for an evening of Amazonian Dreamwork + Tea with Roman Hanis during the Paititi Institute Living Wisdom Series.

Are we the dreamer, or are we the dreamed?

What if our dreams are more than random stories of the night? What if they are invitations into a deeper understanding of our purpose, our gifts, and the life we are here to co-create?

Roman shares that in the beginning, we are the dream. Gradually we begin to see the deeper meaning woven through our lives and remember that we are not separate from the universe, but participants in something much greater.

Join us for an evening of tea, conversation, symbolic exploration, and dream wisdom as we explore how dreams can become a bridge between our inner world and our lived experience.

Date: Sunday, Friday, May 29
Time: 6:00 – 9:00 PM
Location: Heart Mountain Sanctuary, Camas, Wa

Private Residence, Address provided upon RSVP

FACILITATORS:
Dreamwork will be guided by Roman Hanis
Tea Journeys will be guided by Joanna Wiley
