Naked Wednesday with Carnival Quiz

Villagers topless gather around a campfire in the jungle clearing

This Naked Wednesday we gathered by the river for a special Carnival-themed ritual. The Shaman led us into the water and offered a prayer to Tupa, asking for protection, joy, and strong spirits as Carnival approaches.

The bathing area had been carefully fenced in to keep the piranhas at a safe distance, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the river without unexpected interruptions. Even Tasa ended up getting a proper bath, while Kart tried his best to hide behind the rocks and avoid the water.

While we bathed, Quira hosted a Carnival quiz, testing our knowledge and keeping the energy lively. After several good answers and close calls, Amaritz claimed the victory.

We ended the evening back in camp with dancing, as Catten played music for everyone on his newly acquired radio, closing another Naked Wednesday with rhythm and good company.

Tapi Animal Day 2025

This Saturday, the tribe gathered to celebrate our Animal Day. Whisper began the event by blessing the Tapi animals — Tasa and Nevuno for being our faithful companions — and even the goats and Zazulu received their share of jungle blessings.

Then Whisper went around and blessed every creature our people had brought. There were snakes, ferrets, rats, scorpions, dogs, cats — so many cats! — as well as toucans, parrots, frogs, monkeys, and horses.

Afterwards, Summer, who had decorated the camp beautifully for the occasion, invited Catten to tell the story of Curupira, the guardian of the jungle. As the tale ended, Shui played the drums and soon everyone was dancing and drinking.

Naked Wednesday with Amazon Animals Quiz

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.”

Tapi Animal Day

Today we had the Tapi Animal Ritual. Led by Shaman Whisper and Elder Summer, the event was filled with joy and reverence, honouring the animals who enrich our lives. We first blessed the Tribe Xerimbabos, Tasa, Nevuno, Guinnes and Pouty and then the various animals people brought, from monkeys and birds to noble horses and even a snake. Whisper, performed a sacred prayer of thanks, and we offered gifts at an altar for the mystical Curupira, the guardian of our jungle. The ceremony concluded with a captivating tale of the Curupira, reminding us of our duty to respect the harmony of the jungle. Blessed with good cheer amidst vibrant fauna, the ceremony served as a beautiful reaffirmation of our commitment to coexist with nature.
