Jordão Souza
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
In 2009, Jordão began his deep journey with the Yawanawá people, becoming the last student of the revered healer Pajé Tata and dedicating himself to the study of ancestral plant medicine and Indigenous wisdom.
He later co-founded the Nipëihu Sanctuary in Bahia—a center for healing and research that connects ancestral plant medicine with visitors from around the world.
Jordão now leads initiatives focused on preserving, revitalizing, and sharing Yawanawá culture and spirituality. His work bridges tradition and modernity, amplifies Indigenous voices, and fosters intercultural dialogue.
