<\/a><\/p>\nI have learned from the Guarani elder women\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n that fire is a serious and sacred matter.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Grandma Fire and Grandpa Fire sustain\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n and hold the Earth firm and warm.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The earth feeds and shelters us.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Fire, with their ancestral power,\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n illuminates us and dispels all evil.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n For a long time I dreamed of experiencing an encounter with the Guarani, Maxakali, and Huni Kuin praying people. In 2017, I had a very profound dream that gave me guidance to organize this great prayer. When I woke up from this dream, I reflected on the messages and started finding ways to make it happen. Years passed, the pandemic came, then changes in life, and I saw the Living Schools blossom. Eight years after that dream, today, coordinating the Living Schools project under the guidance of Anna Dantes, with the Selvagem Association and the collective of each Living School, we have managed to make this possibility of exchange sprout. In October, after the <\/span>Living School House artistic residency<\/span><\/a>we came with the Living Schools delegations to Rio Silveira Village, my home.<\/span><\/p>\n Those were truly enchanting days, when we were able to walk in the forest and share experiences, challenges, and dreams with my Maxakali relatives who came with Isael and Sueli: Mamei, Isabelinha, and some children; the Huni Kuin family, in the presence of Professor Dua Bus\u00eb and his partner Net\u00eb, Jos\u00e9 Maia Yube and his sister Ayani; the Guarani people from the community; the distinguished presence of Professor Francisco Baniwa, as well as my friend and partner in dreams Veronica Pinheiro and Daniel, from the Selvagem team. We roasted fish, played the flute, admired the Karaja Amb\u00e1 mountain, and even saw the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
