Uni Retreats

Rasu Yawanawá is one of the most respected young spiritual leaders of his generation within the Yawanawá Nation. He is the grandson and spiritual heir of the great pajé (shaman) Tata Txanu Natasheini, one of the most revered elders and wisdom keepers of the Yawanawá tradition. From an early age, Rasu was chosen and carefully prepared by his grandfather to carry forward the sacred lineage of healing, songs, and forest knowledge. He underwent the most intense spiritual initiations within his culture, including long periods of isolation, dietas, and deep communion with the spirit of the plants.

Wakia Un Manee is a full blooded Klamath/Modoc native of North America, medicine man, sundancer, and leader of the Vision Quest and Inipi (Sweat Lodge) ceremony. From a young age, he was brought up with the Lakota and Ojibway, so his work has been largely influenced by the traditions and culture of these two nations. Wakia graduated in psychology and political sciences and also studied theology. He founded and developed non-profit charitable organizations within various communities.
