Whispering Wind: “Tonight we return to the jungle as we were born … open, happy, and full of gratitude…. and stoned. Let your hearts laugh, let your bodies move, and let your spirits rise.

Bubba Oh: “Inhabitants of the jungle! Friends, Tapirap\u00e9 Citizens!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubba Oh: “We are gathered here to praise and bring offerings to Tup\u00e4. God of thunder, God of rain – creator of man and our jungle!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubba Oh: “We hope that he will bring us a bountiful year with good crops and plenty of babies! May they be healthy!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubba Oh: “We pray that he will bring us unity among the natives, and peace!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubba Oh: “Understanding between the white gringo culture and our culture – and shared prosperity for all!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubba Oh: \u00a8He raises his hands<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubba Oh: “On behalf of the elders and the people of the Tapirap\u00e9\u00a0 – I welcome you to this our first naked Wednesday of the year!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Shaman followed with a blessing, and each of us placed fruit on a blanket to invite good luck and abundance for the year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t
