Kaiasa — Txana of the Huni Kuin

Kaiasa carries the path of the Txana as a living relationship with the spirit of the medicine, the ancestors, and the joy that moves through song. For him, this work is not learned in the mind, but remembered through listening: to the plants, to prayer, and to the guidance of those who walked before him.

His journey with the medicine began at a young age, first drinking alongside his brother Txua and his uncle. Like all his brothers, his grandmother has been his greatest teacher, transmitting the lineage through presence, prayer, and lived experience rather than instruction alone.

Kaiasa understands the medicines as teachers that work through vibration, sound, and feeling. When he sings, he channels the spirit of the Txana itself: the spirit of music, play, joy, and healing. His songs are guided by ancestral presence and arise in direct response to what is needed in the moment.

In ceremony, Kaiasa meets each person with attentiveness and respect. When processes feel intense, he first listens deeply, sensing whether support is needed or whether the medicine is already doing its work. From there, specific ícaros are offered to cleanse, hold, or restore balance, always guided by the spirit.

What Kaiasa hopes guests carry with them is an open heart, happiness, and a renewed sense of alignment. His focus is alegria: a joy that comes from reconnection with oneself and with life. A prayer often heard in ceremony, Eskawata Kayaway, reflects this understanding: the healing is already happening. The cleaning is already working. Everything is in motion, and everything is well.

Kaiasa feels deep honour to share the ancestral knowledge he carries alongside his family, offering this work with humility, devotion, and love.
