Huni Kuin healers come to Bushwick to fund the women’s health center they’re building in the Amazon, at $20 a seat

A $20 evening at MiCasa BK, 209 Evergreen Ave, on November 18, opens with an optional circle of hapé, a sacred tobacco snuff, then songs. The Brooklyn Psychedelic Society describes the two as daughters of the Huni Kuin healer Naiibeya, from Aldeia Boa Vista on the Rio Jordão in Acre, Brazil.

Two images: two women with long black hair and dark red lips stand neck-deep in still water with a forest behind them and their reflections below, one with straight bangs and feather earrings, the other in a crown of white flowers and beaded earrings, both with black markings on their faces; inset, a brick building with a mailbox numbered 209, a tagged door and a roll-down shutter covered in graffiti.
