Highest Self Podcast® 591: Indigenous Chief: Understanding Plant Medicine With Rasu Yawanawa Chief
This week’s episode is truly special—a sacred conversation with Chief Rasu, the youngest spiritual leader of the Yawanawa tribe from the heart of the Amazon.
If you’ve ever been curious about sitting with plant medicine or are already on that path, this episode offers a rare opportunity to receive wisdom directly from its source.
Most of us don’t have access to Indigenous voices, and with the Amazon in danger due to deforestation, displacement of native communities, and the long-lasting effects of colonialism, it’s incredibly rare—and sacred—to hear from those who have stayed true to this ancient wisdom.
🎙️ In this episode, we explore:
🌱 The Yawanawa tribe’s sacred role as guardians of ayahuasca
💫 How plant medicine reconnects us to our inner child, ancestral lineage, and spiritual gifts
🌍 Indigenous prayers, history, and spiritual practices that guide us back to Earth
🔥 The dangers facing the Amazon—deforestation, displacement, and the fight to preserve Indigenous wisdom
This is more than just a conversation—it’s a reminder that the Earth holds everything we need to heal, grow, and remember who we truly are.
