Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or someone seeking self-acceptance, you belong here!

Our Medicine Carriers, Prince Haru and Hayra Kuntanawa:

Hayra and Haru's paths converged not by chance but through destiny in the enchanting landscapes of Peru. Living in Boulder, Colorado, Hayra received a message during meditation from the Akashic Records, guiding her to the town of Pisac. There, in a small café, she awaited an encounter with a distinctly indigenous-looking man, foretold to be her future husband – Chief Haru of the Kuntanawa Nation.

Haru Kuntanawa, also known as Prince, stands as a guiding light among indigenous communities in Brazil, celebrated for his transformative leadership in revitalizing the rich cultural heritage of his people. With a commanding presence, compassionate heart, and influential spirit, Haru has nurtured faith and unity within his tribe and neighboring villages along the enchanting banks of Acre, Brazil.

Deeply respecting traditional wisdom and the sacred healing properties of natural plant medicine, Haru took visionary steps to safeguard and honor these ancient practices. He played a pivotal role in organizing the Pano Corridor Project, a groundbreaking initiative uniting diverse tribes, nations, and people worldwide, fostering a deeper understanding between cultures across continents.

Currently serving as the president of the ASACK Association, the social organization of the Kuntanawa people, Haru passionately advocates for the collective rights and interests of his community.

Hayra, a highly esteemed medicine woman, Chinese Medicine doctor, and adept teacher in various healing arts, holds the distinguished position of co-leader alongside her husband in the Kuntanawa Nation.

Her journey into healing began at a young age, propelling her to cultivate expertise in a unique field of medical practice. Through extensive studies and work, she has had the privilege of practicing in Asia and studying across Europe, North, South, and Central America

Her remarkable repertoire includes titles such as Co-leader of the Kuntanawa Nation, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Esoteric Acupuncture Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, Holistic Doula, Face Reader, Akashic Records Reader, Medicine Woman, and Shamanic Soul Retrieval Practitioner. Beyond her healing pursuits, Hayra is a talented musical artist.
