Pleiadian Starseed: A Gentle Call to Remember

Are You A Pleiadian Starseed?

It's hard to explain, but maybe you know it too. A quiet homesickness that doesn’t belong to this world. A sense that there is something more beyond the veil, something ancient and pure.

This is often how it begins. The journey of remembering. If you're reading this, you might be starting to remember who you really are.

Maybe you've heard the word Pleiadian before, or perhaps you're new to it. Either way, this is for you. Not as a textbook explanation, but as a soft light to guide you inward. What you’re looking for isn’t out there. It’s already inside you.

Here’s a song for you in case you need a reminder that you are not alone.

What is a Pleiadian Starseed?

A Pleiadian Starseed is a soul who originates from the Pleiades, a star cluster in the Taurus constellation. These souls have chosen to come to Earth to assist in healing, awakening, and remembering.

The Pleiades are also called the Seven Sisters. You can see them in the night sky with the naked eye. Many ancient cultures have stories about them. The Greeks, the Maori, the Mayans, the Hopi. It is said that these beings carry strong feminine energy, wisdom, and heart-based consciousness.

Being a Starseed doesn’t mean you’re “better” or “different” in a way that separates you from others. It simply means your soul remembers. You carry an imprint from another place. A different frequency. And often, you feel Earth’s heaviness more deeply because of it.

Signs You May Be a Pleiadian Starseed

Most Pleiadian Starseeds don’t wake up one morning knowing their origin. It’s more subtle than that. It often starts with feelings you can’t quite place. Longings. Dreams. Sensitivities that feel like burdens until you understand them for what they are.

Here are some common signs that may resonate:

  • You’ve always felt different, even in childhood

  • You’re sensitive to energies, emotions, and people’s intentions

  • You long for deep connection, but often feel misunderstood

  • You’re drawn to the stars, especially the Pleiades

  • You feel like Earth isn’t your true home

  • You experience vivid dreams or visions

  • You have strong intuitive or psychic abilities

  • You are deeply empathetic, to the point of emotional exhaustion

  • You have a strong desire to help others heal

You don’t need to have all of these signs. And there’s no test that makes you “officially” a Starseed. It’s something you feel in your bones. It’s a quiet knowing.

Why Do Pleiadian Starseeds Come to Earth?

This Earth journey is not easy. It’s dense here. Emotions are intense. The systems can feel broken. Many Pleiadian Starseeds experience trauma early in life, as if the soul chose a path that would awaken its gifts through difficulty.

But there is a reason for it. Starseeds don’t come to escape. They come to serve. To remember love and bring it here in embodied form. The Pleiadian energy carries healing, softness, and transformation through love, not force. If you are one, your very presence helps to shift the collective. Often silently.

The Pleiadian Mission on Earth

Each Starseed’s mission is unique. Some are here to be healers. Some are here to sing, paint, or create new systems. Others are simply here to hold frequency — to walk through the world gently and remind others through their presence alone.

The Pleiadian mission isn’t about saving anyone. It’s about reminding. Helping others remember who they truly are.

How Do I Know If I Am a Pleiadian Starseed?

This is one of the most asked questions in spiritual circles. The truth is, only you can truly know. You won’t find the answer through a personality quiz or by reading a checklist online. But you might find it in the quiet moments. In your dreams. In the tears that come when you hear the old songs or sit with someone who sees you clearly.

The question isn’t really "Am I a Pleiadian Starseed?" The question is, "What is my soul asking me to remember?"

Let that guide you.

Do Pleiadian Starseeds Have Special Abilities?

Yes and no. They are not here to be magical beings on pedestals. They are here to be fully human and fully soul. But many carry natural gifts, such as:

  • Energy healing

  • Channeling

  • Telepathy

  • Deep empathy

  • Light language

  • Psychic vision

  • Sacred sound or song

Sometimes these gifts stay hidden until the person feels safe enough to explore them. Often they awaken after spiritual initiations, dark nights of the soul, or time spent in deep inner work.

Are Pleiadian Starseeds Real?

This question often comes from the mind. And it’s okay to wonder. We’re taught from a young age to mistrust what we cannot see. But not everything real can be measured.

For me, it is not about proving anything. It is about resonance. I remember a moment during my dieta in the forest, when we sat in silence for days. A single bird call opened a memory in me that had nothing to do with Earth. That’s not something I can explain, but it is deeply real to me.

So I invite you to feel rather than think your way into the answer. Truth feels like peace. Even if it’s uncomfortable at first, there is a softness to it.

Do Pleiadian Starseeds Struggle With Life on Earth?

Yes. Often. Many feel overwhelmed by the intensity of human life. The systems. The noise. The pain. The separation.

Pleiadian Starseeds often struggle with:

  • Loneliness

  • Anxiety or depression

  • Sensory overload

  • Feeling they don’t belong

  • Longing to “go home” without knowing where that is

But there is beauty in the struggle too. Because the very challenges we face become the doorway to our remembering. And when we begin to truly embody who we are, the Earth becomes more beautiful too.

What Happens During a Pleiadian Awakening?

A Pleiadian awakening is often quiet at first. A gentle unfolding. But it can also feel like a storm. Things fall apart. Friendships shift. Old identities no longer feel real. There’s a sense of shedding skins.

You may begin to dream more vividly. Feel emotions you’ve buried. See signs and synchronicities. You might start hearing a call — not with your ears, but inside your heart.

It’s not always easy. But it is sacred.

How Can I Connect With the Pleiadians?

Connection doesn’t require rituals or tools, though those can help. What matters most is your openness and your sincerity. Here are a few ways to begin:

  • Spend time under the stars, especially during Pleiadian alignments (like in May or November)

  • Create space for stillness, meditation, or prayer

  • Ask from your heart for guidance. Speak aloud. Whisper it. Write it.

  • Trust the signs and feelings that arise

  • Pay attention to dreams or intuitive nudges

  • Keep a journal of your inner journey

The Pleiadians respond not to formality but to frequency. Your sincerity is the bridge.

Is There a Purpose to All of This?

Yes. Even when it feels like there isn’t. Your presence here is not an accident. You carry something the Earth needs. Something no one else can bring in quite the way you can.

You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to keep listening, keep softening, and keep showing up.

Your healing is not separate from your purpose. The more you return to yourself, the more you radiate what you came here to share.

Do You Resonate with Pleiadian Starseeds and Want to Explore Your Mission on this Earth?

If you’ve made it this far, thank you.

If you would like to explore your Starseed path more deeply, I offer private spiritual guidance sessions where we can look at your energy field, your soul lineage, and what is unfolding in your life right now. Together, we listen. Together, we remember.

You don’t need to know your next step. You just need to follow what is alive in your heart.

Inside a Yawanawá Retreat: My Journey into the Heart of an Amazonian Tradition

Explore the Magic and Wisdom of Yawanawá Retreats and their Sacred Plant Medicines

The Yawanawá people are one of the many indigenous tribes of the Brazilian Amazon, deeply connected to their land, plants, and ancestral ceremonies. A Yawanawá retreat offers a unique opportunity to experience their spirituality, healing traditions, and the powerful plant medicines of the rainforest.

In this post, I want to bring you inside a Yawanawá retreat—what it looks like, what you learn, how the medicine works, and why their tradition is so special. I’ll share personal insights from my own time in Acre at Centro Awanawá near the village of Mutum, and also contextualize it with research and knowledge about the Yawanawá people and their history.

What is a Yawanawá Retreat?

Yawanawá retreats are immersive experiences hosted in the Yawanawá indigenous territory, located in Acre, a state in the western Brazilian Amazon near the border with Peru. These retreats are designed to share the tribe’s sacred traditions, plant medicine ceremonies, and cultural practices with visitors from around the world.

The retreats are centered around the Yawanawá’s deep relationship with their land, plants, and spiritual heritage. They offer a rare chance to learn about their way of life, hear their sacred songs called Saitis, participate in communal ceremonies, and experience the healing power of their plant medicines.

Visitors stay in traditional huts or eco-lodges and take part in daily rituals, workshops, and ceremonies led by respected shamans and teachers like Hushahu, Matsini, and Rasu, who have dedicated their lives to preserving and sharing Yawanawá spirituality.

Get a glimpse at Centro Awavãna - the retreat center founded by my teacher Hushahu here:

Who Are the Yawanawá?

The Yawanawá are an indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest, primarily living in Acre state, Brazil. Their population is estimated around 2,500 individuals today, a resilient community that almost faced extinction in the 20th century due to diseases, deforestation, and displacement. At one point, their numbers dropped to roughly 90 people.

Thanks to dedicated cultural preservation efforts, the Yawanawá have regained strength and vitality in recent decades. Today, they actively teach and share their traditions through retreats, cultural centers, and environmental stewardship programs.

The word “Yawanawá” means “people of the canoe” in their language, reflecting their deep connection to the rivers that nourish and shape their territory. Their culture is inseparable from the natural world, and every aspect of their life honors the forest, plants, and spirits that sustain them.

What Happens During a Yawanawá Retreat?

Arrival and First Impressions

When you arrive at Centro Awanawá, the first thing you notice is the feeling of coming home. The retreat center is nestled in the lush Amazon, surrounded by towering trees, colorful birds, and the hum of life. The space is simple but sacred—constructed with respect for the environment and infused with the presence of the ancestors.

You are welcomed into the community not as a visitor but as family. The elders, including the Pajes (shamans) like Hushahu, Matsini, and Rasu, hold the space with a mix of joy, seriousness, and humility.

The Seven-Day Cultural Immersion

The retreat usually begins with a week-long immersion. These first days are a gentle initiation, full of learning and sharing. We listen to the Yawanawá’s creation stories, which tell how spirits shaped the forest and taught their people to live in harmony with the land.

During this time, we join ceremonies where up to 30 people from the tribe come to sing, dance, and pray. The songs, known as Saitis, are powerful spiritual prayers that connect the tribe to the forest spirits and ancestors. Learning these songs is an honor and a challenge, and I had the privilege of studying them with Hushahu.

We also participate in cleansing rituals using plants like tobacco, which is considered a sacred medicine, not just a recreational herb. The elders teach us how to respectfully harvest and use medicinal plants, highlighting that every plant has a spirit and purpose.

The 30-Day Seya Dieta: An Inner Journey

After the cultural immersion, many participants choose to enter the Seya dieta—a strict 30-day period of fasting, isolation, and plant medicine ingestion designed to deepen spiritual connection.

The dieta begins with a ceremony where the Paje prays over a cup of Kaisuma, a sacred brew made from a local potato variety. Drinking Kaisuma initiates the process. For the next month, you are to drink only Kaisuma—no water, no food beyond a very limited diet. After the first week, tea is sometimes allowed.

The purpose of the dieta is to go inward, to listen, and to study. It is a time of sacrifice, giving up comforts and distractions to open space for healing and insight. As the days pass, you become more attuned to the subtle messages from the forest, from the plant spirits, and from your own body and soul.

For me, this was both difficult and illuminating. At times I felt dizzy or weak, yet I also experienced moments of clarity and profound peace. Being a facilitator by nature, I struggled with the role reversal of becoming a participant, especially without my usual role of supporting others. This brought up feelings of vulnerability and disempowerment that I had to confront.

The Importance of Community and Ceremony

One of the most moving aspects of the retreat was witnessing how community sustains healing and spirituality. The Yawanawá gatherings are vibrant, joyful, and deeply intentional. Songs and dances are not performances but expressions of gratitude and connection.

The elders’ role is vital. They are keepers of knowledge and guardians of balance. Watching Hushahu sing and teach was like witnessing a bridge between worlds.

Life Inside a Yawanawá Retreat

I had the privilege of spending over six weeks living and learning in the Yawanawá territory. My journey began at Centro Awanawá, near Mutum in Acre, where I joined a seven-day retreat to immerse myself in the culture and traditions of the tribe. Being part of this family for even a short time was magical.

The community effort behind these retreats is immense. Sometimes we had up to 30 people from the village supporting the ceremonies by singing, dancing, and holding space for all participants. It felt like stepping into a living, breathing spiritual family where every person contributes to the collective healing.

Life in the retreat is simple but profound. We stayed in huts made of natural materials, surrounded by the vast, sacred forest that offers countless plants used for healing and ceremony. Daily life is deeply connected to the cycles of nature, the sounds of the jungle, and the rhythm of ceremony.

One of the most intense parts of my experience was participating in a 30-day Seya or dieta alongside twenty other people from all over the world. This sacred diet is a deep inward journey guided by strict rules, including limited food intake, abstaining from water except a special sacred drink called Kaisuma, and spending extended time in silence and reflection.

The dieta is a time of sacrifice, study, and connection. The opening ceremony is led by the Paje or shaman who prays into a cup of plant medicine mixed with Kaisuma. After drinking this, the diet begins. It is not easy but incredibly transformative. The first weeks are very restrictive and demand discipline, but the lessons sown during this time often emerge like seedlings later on, growing into profound insights and healing.

How the Yawanawá Work with Plant Medicines

The Yawanawá have an intricate relationship with the plants of the Amazon. Every plant is considered a teacher, a spirit, and a healer. Sacred medicines such as Ayahuasca, Kaisuma, and various plant medicines are used not only for healing but to connect to the spiritual world, ancestors, and the forest itself.

During my stay, I learned about Kaisuma, a sacred drink made from a local variety of potato. It plays a central role in the dieta, helping to purify the body and open pathways for spiritual insights.

Ceremonies often involve singing Saitis, the tribe’s sacred songs that are more than music—they are prayers, teachings, and an energetic connection to the ancestors. Studying these songs and presenting them to teachers like Hushahu was both an honor and a challenge, as it brought up fears around performance and the need to meet the high standards set by the tradition.

What Makes Yawanawá Retreats Special?

Several elements make these retreats unique:

  • Deep Cultural Immersion: You are not just visiting; you become part of a living community, participating fully in ceremonies, daily life, and teachings.

  • Authentic Plant Medicine Experience: The medicines are prepared and administered by experienced shamans with generations of knowledge, within the safety of community and tradition.

  • Sacred Music and Ceremony: The Saitis songs and ceremonial dances create a powerful energetic container that supports healing and transformation.

  • Connection with the Forest: The retreat is set in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, offering a direct relationship with nature that is fundamental to the healing process.

  • Healing Through Dieta: The Seya dieta offers a rare and profound inward journey of purification, learning, and spiritual connection.

Insights from My Journey to the Amazon Rainforest

Living in the retreat was not without challenges. I am naturally a solitary person who needs time alone to recharge. Being in a group setting where subgroups form and social dynamics shift was sometimes difficult, and feelings of loneliness surfaced.

I also faced physical challenges. Recovering from a previous bout of Covid, my energy was low. Some ceremonies were hard as I dealt with dizziness, which limited my participation in dance and other activities.

Another struggle was the tension between my role as a facilitator and participant. I usually thrive by supporting others, but in this retreat, I was a learner first, which felt disempowering at times.

Despite these challenges, I am deeply grateful for the experience and the teachings of Hushahu, Matsini, Rasu, and the entire community. I feel this journey is just the beginning of a long process of growth and healing.

Why You Should Consider a Yawanawá Retreat

If you are looking for a retreat that goes beyond surface-level relaxation and dives deep into cultural immersion, plant medicine, and spiritual growth, this is a rare opportunity.

You will learn from real indigenous teachers, live simply in the forest, and experience ceremonies that have survived centuries.

Be prepared for challenge as well as beauty. This is a path that asks for openness, respect, and patience.
