Tobacco Ritual and Sacred Cinema from the Sapara Nation in Ecuador
March 6th 6:30pm
Through cinema and the medicine of tobacco—Jauneka—from the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador, through the circle of word and song, we will come together to defeat the monster of loneliness.
The mystery calls us. Come to know the Sapara medicine. Come to hear this message that is not ours, but from your own heart remembering.
The Sapara people's relationship with tobacco reflects centuries of preserved tradition and deep reverence for the dream world, passed down through generations.
