Chullachaki Caspi
The keeper of hidden paths
Nature of the tree
The Chullachaki Caspi stands in the dense rainforest, carried by roots that rise from the ground like stilts. Its name links it to the Chullachaki, the forest spirit of Amazonian tales. It appears in a stranger's shape and lures people deep into the forest until they lose their way. It is said to live beneath such trees. Whoever meets them treads softly and honours the forest.
Inner attitude
The Chullachaki Caspi does not stand on one foot, but on many. It knows the paths that branch off – and yet stays in its place.

Voice of the tree
«Not every voice that calls means you. Know your way back.»
Encounter & working together
You meet it where the forest grows dense and every path looks the same. On a walk, stop once, look back and fix in your mind the way you have come.
Pay attention to
- where you let yourself be lured away
- where you lose your own path
- where you enter the forest with respect
The Chullachaki Caspi works when you are ready to walk awake and with reverence.

I know my way and walk it awake.
