Ofrenda Fest promotes mindful education by connecting through art and human expressions. It focuses on honoring our planet through rituals and ceremonies.
WISDOM & MEDICINE: VEDIC TEACHINGS & SACRED TOBACCO
An introduction to Vedanta and Amazonian Hapé Medicine with Acharya Jonas Masetti & Paje Maná Shanenawa
Journey into the wisdom of two ancient traditions―the Vedic teachings of Vedanta and the sacred medicine of the Amazon rainforest. Through the lens of Vedanta, we will explore timeless truths about the nature of the self, consciousness, and the path to inner freedom. The experience will be deepened by a ceremonial Hapé circle, an Amazonian plant medicine known for grounding the body, clearing the mind, and opening the heart. Accompanied by sacred chants, this gathering offers a powerful fusion of Eastern philosophy and Amazonian tradition―awakening clarity, connection, and a profound sense of inner peace.
