This Wednesday, we followed our usual ritual bath before diving into a trivia session on the ancient cultures and gods of the Amazon. Goo claimed a decisive victory, while Shui and Micke secured second and third place. To wrap up the evening, we danced to the rhythmic beats of Diana’s drums.
This wednesday, nearly 30 of us came together to honor our ancestors. We wandered the jungle, catching butterflies—our tiny messengers to the spirit world—whispering our wishes before placing them in the sacred cage.
After our shaman’s blessing, we released them into the sky, sending our hopes to the ancestors. Sunisa claimed the top spot with the most butterflies caught, followed by Micke in second and Chief Mike of the Jurito in third. We wrapped up the event with music, dancing, and celebration as we often do.
This Wednesday, the tribe held a cozy and intimate ceremony at the camp. The evening began with our ritual bath, followed by a fun trivia contest about the Amazon Jungle and the experience of being naked. Shui and Yakirin emerged as the trivia champions! We concluded the ceremony by gathering around the campfire to dry off, enjoying music and dancing together.
This Wednesday marked the final Naked Bath of the year, at least organised by Whisper and Catten. Initially, not many people attended, but gradually more and more came to enjoy the bath, and eventually, some stayed for dancing afterward.
Today, we celebrated Naked Wednesday at Love Temple, a place that, according to the shamans’ rituals, holds significant healing and sexual energies. Summer had decorated the place beautifully, and many people came to bathe with the tribe. Overall, it was a great Wednesday.
This Wednesday we just had a small celebration since many were busy elsewhere. Sometimes it’s cosy when you just at home and not that many. The day ended in dancing around the fireplace, so all in all a really nice Wednesday.
This Wednesday, the tribe and friends gathered to celebrate Día de Muertos Naked Wednesday. Summer first cleansed everyone with smudge, and then Whisper told everyone about the dead bird Poco, Canijo the dead pussycat, Loco the dead uncle, and Gourdita the dead aunt and how they can help us remember our ancestors so they don’t fade away. Then we went searching for them and finally got painted with body paints featuring their images.
This Wednesday, we visited the Mana Shrine. People offered rocks to appease the mana gods and boost the yield and quality of the food we harvest. Later, we bathed near the pink dolphins and then returned home for a party with Diana playing the drums.
Naked Wednesday at the Red Coast
This Naked Wednesday, we came together at the newly discovered lake on the Red Coast. The majority of us arrived safely by canoe, though Karto’s group, traveling by boat, unfortunately sank en route. After receiving the shaman’s prayer and blessing, we made our way back on foot, concluding the day with our triditional dance around the campfire.
During a lengthy and rather boring Elder meeting, it was decided to reinstate regular Naked Wednesdays. The events will be smaller in scope, usually a bath, ceremony and dancing, but occasionally we’ll venture out for collective activities as well.
Today involved a bath and dancing with music provided by the Xoco and Alli. It was nice to be together again and also nice to see the Seekers back at our Wednesday gatherings.
