What I learned from Living under a tree for a week

I went a week without and a week with. A week without food, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, products of any kind, or any sort of stimulation from technology or people. I felt so pure and natural. I spent a week forming a relationship with the Tree of Life in the Amazon jungle. I visited her. I danced for her. I wrote songs for her. I drank only her extract. I felt her wisdom enter me. I became her. I love her. I found the tree I’ve been dreaming about since 2019 on that hammock in Pai, Thailand. I was divinely guided here.

In the Shapebo culture, sacrifice means to make something sacred. And that’s exactly what this was. A purification for a deeper connection to plants. Everything the Shapebo know, from their food, to clothing, to music, comes from plant wisdom. Noya Rao, this beautiful Tree of Life, is a direct pathway to enlightenment. One of the more powerful and pure paths of light and love. Connecting with the spirit of Noya Roa is said to bring self love, family healing and a knowingness of your life path. And after a week, I have never felt more self love, family healing, and connection to my path in this world than ever before.
