Muddy Naked Wednesday

December 15, 2025 / Tapi Writer

This Wednesday the tribe gathered in the heart of camp for Kart’s Muddy Wednesday, a joyful and very Tapi ritual where large tubs of healing mud were emptied onto the ground and everyone joined in a communal mud bath. Named in loving honor of Kart, who is usually covered in mud anyway, this time the mud was at least clean, sacred, and intentionally shared.

“People of the jungle… welcome to Sacred Naked Wednesday. A ceremony born from ancient wisdom… and from Karto’s very questionable bathing habits.”

“So here we are. Naked. Muddy. Spiritual. Very Tapi.”

“Today we return to the mother’s skin. The mud of this land is the skin of Tupã’s creation… rich, alive, filled with the breath of the earth.”

“It cleanses the body, pulling out the heat and poisons of the week — especially the poison Karto brings when he forgets to wash.”

“And it grounds us, joining us again to the roots of our home. The earth holds us, reminds us we belong. And in Karto’s case, it also holds him down long enough to actually bathe.”

“Let every smear be a prayer, let every breath be a blessing. And please… let this be strong enough to wash off whatever Karto left behind.”

“Now, people of the jungle… cover yourselves. Let the mud claim you. Let the jungle see you as you truly are … unhidden, unburdened, and reborn.”

We ended the ritual exactly as the spirits intended, by dancing around in the mud and shaking our muddy bodies to the music played by Shui. It’s for sure an event we’ll do again.

Naked Wednesday with Amazon Animals Quiz

May 14, 2025 / Tapi Writer

This Wednesday, we gathered in camp for another Naked Wednesday. It was a cozy evening where the shaman began with a prayer and spoke about the many strange animals of the jungle and their meanings. Afterwards, we had a quiz and learned valuable information—like where the Amazonian candiru fish likes to hide… and finally, we danced ourselves dry while Diana played her amazing drums.

Whisper’s animal prayer

steps onto a sun-warmed stone, arms wide, leaves tangled in her hair, a dreamy smile on face, takes a deep breath of jungle air, eyes half-closed in bliss.“Spirits of the soil, sky, and sandals we no longer wear… we greet you with our bare skin and open hearts! Today is Sacred Naked Wednesday!”

“No cloth shall cage us, no shame shall tame us! For the jungle knows our shapes already—every bump, every wobble, every mosquito bite!” points to the treetops, dramatically. “Today… we learn the secrets of the strange and wonderful jungle creatures! The frog that sings like thunder, the fish that climbs trees, the monkey that steals dreams—or bananas, same thing.”

lowers her voice in mock awe.“There is a beetle that glows when it tells lies… a bird that dances like it’s in love with the moon… and maybe, just maybe, the jaguar who once gave me relationship advice.”

sniffs the air and giggles.“So let your minds be open, your bodies be free, and your curiosity be bigger than your breakfast. The jungle is wise, weird, and sometimes smells funny—but it always teaches.” claps her hands once, startling a parrot.” Explore, observe, and if an animal talks to you… talk back. But be polite. Especially to snakes. They hold grudges.”

kneels on the stone, eyes closed, arms stretched upward as a butterfly lands on her nose., the voice drifts out like smoke from sacred herbs.“O spirits of the jungle, we thank you for your laughter, your paws, your wings, and your beautiful weirdness.”

“To the toucan with a nose bigger than its face—thank you for reminding us that being strange is sacred.”

“To the capybara who bathes with everyone, even grumpy caimans—thank you for showing us peace is possible in puddles.”

“To the sloth who moves like time has forgotten him—thank you for slowing us down, so we remember to breathe.”

“To the frog that glows like moonlight and the monkey who throws fruit at our heads—thank you for mischief and magic.”

“To the ants who build cities beneath our feet, and the jaguar who walks unseen—thank you for your strength, your silence, your shadow.”

places one hand to her heart, the other to the earth.“Today we learn from you. Today we laugh with you. Today, we walk wild like you—uncovered, unbothered, and a little bit weird.”

“May we always see the spirits hiding in feathers, scales, fur, and fangs. And may we never forget to thank the beetle for dancing, even if no one is watching.”

“And to Tasa, the Tapi cat… clever hunter, sneaky napper, spirit guardian in furry disguise—thank you, beloved. Tasa remind us that even in stillness, there is power. Even in a tail flick, a prophecy.”

“Let today be filled with learning, laughter, and animal wisdom. May we walk gently, howl freely, and scratch only if we have fleas or an important message to deliver.”

“The jungle watches. The animals teach. And Tasa—Tasa judges us all. Blessed be!”

First Naked Wednesday

We had our first Naked Wednesday of the year at Turtle Beach, starting with tire-sliding down the pyramid and then cooling off with a bath in the lagoon. Later, we headed back to camp to dance and celebrate.

Naked Wednesday – Hide Out

October 2, 2024 / Tapi Writer

This Wednesday, we celebrated a memorable Naked Wednesday at the serene pond of Hide Out / Under Croft. The bathing was initiated by a ceremony at the waterfalls, by our Shaman Whisper. Our tribe and friends bathed in the refreshing waters, and as the sun set, we returned to the Tapi Camp, where we danced ourselves dry in the warmth of the firelight. It was another great and cozy Naked Wednesday, with many new friends joining us.

Naked Wednesday with Dinosaurs

August 14, 2024 / Tapi Writer

This Wednesday was a small intimate Wednesday just for the tribe.

Many are on vacation but the ones that were in camp went to streak in front of the dinosaurs and gather strength potion. After there was a bath to wash off the dino smell and then some dancing.
