Paulo Nakua is a storyteller, historian, anthropologist, and filmmaker.
Through studying and practicing ancestral medicines with different tribes in Colombia for 27 years, Nakua walks the path toward self-realization, building bridges between North and South (mind-heart) and between East and West (meditation-science), a mission he recognizes as part of the fulfillment of the prophecies of ancient peoples anchored in the spirit.
Nakua has a vast toolkit of knowledge and pathways, including ancestral plants and natural medicines, meditation techniques, and learning the ways of unlocking the keys to inner peace, satchitananda, and unlimited consciousness and bliss.
He has a knowing of the Law of Time, and decodes the Tzolkin, following the Mayan calendar and natural cycles and rhythms of existence.
Nakua studies and merges himself with the Kriya Yoga teachings of Paramahansa Yogananada.
The ability to share these medicines, comes from Paulo’s many years of study and blessings given upon him from his teachers and Elders of the Siona tribe, the Kamëntšá tribe, the Piaroa tribe, and the Sikuani tribe.
