Jungle Studies at INKAN KENA

Greetings friends and family, my name is Nova. Today, November 14th, is my birthday. If you're reading this you most likely know me or of me. I am a medicine woman, ceremonialist, devotee, scribe, and practitioner of the oracular arts. In presence and prayer, my heart serves the whole. In reverence, I walk with nature, humbled by the wisdom of the Earth and all her guardians. The inspiration of my movement is the force of her guidance.

And so I am guided to create this fundraiser for my Beloved, Krish, and I.

We are seeking support for our shamanic studies in the Peruvian Amazon jungle, at a center called INKAN KENA, stewarded by Shipibo lineage Don Enrique and his family. Krish was initiated into the lineage through Don Enrique, his maestro, in 2022, and upon returning from the jungle has facilitated incredible healing for myself and our loved ones, sharing how the teachings move through him with respect and integrity. This has reinforced his dedication to the lineage and the plants, specifically Noya Rao, the tree he has chosen to devote his life to on his shamanic path.

Noya Rao brought our relationship into being, as she had been communicating to me in both the waking and dream realms before we met. When Krish returned from the jungle we immediately and effortlessly synchronized. He gifted me a Noya Rao pipe and held two separate diets for me to have with this tree, one of which I am about to close on the eve of my 29th birthday, as I type these words. Our union is a weaving of Noya Rao's wisdom and medicine. For me, she is the Mother Tree and her transmission is the pure truth of unconditional love. I see clearly now how all my visionary and spiritual awakenings are linked to her specific transmission and gift to humanity. My soul chose this path with her a long time ago.

When Krish and I go to the jungle for his birthday in February, we both have our own intentions. I will open a two month dieta with Noya Rao and he will open a year dieta with Noya Rao, both held by curanderismo Don Enrique. My Beloved and I are deeply honored to support Don Enrique and his family specifically, as the way he shares the teachings of his lineage as well as his own personal connection with the plants, is uniquely remarkable. He is open, authentic, giving, and loving to all who come to INKAN KENA. It is our personal mission to support this center and be involved in many potential collaborations and projects to come with the Shipibo, bringing more awareness to the protection and preservation of their culture.

Krish and I both work hard to support ourselves, as well as his two year old son, so we will continue, in full faith, to create the abundance needed for this mission to be fulfilled.

ALL money donated here goes directly to INKAN KENA, in the hands of Don Enrique himself. You are not only supporting our studies, our healing, our growth on this path together, but also the Shipibo lineage, the center, and all who will receive what we cultivate in the jungle.

If I have ever inspired or informed your being in any way that has brought clarity or empowerment then this would be the most precious way to reciprocate that energy, in addition, of course, to the gift that is your existence and your healing in and of itself.

Any and all donations are humbly invited and graciously welcomed, not expected.

Thank you dearly for taking the time to read this and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or curiosities to connect.

Eternal blessings to all
