About us

Rua Inu and I
are artists, ambassadors, and bridge-builders.

We are a dynamic husband and wife team, on a mission of service – building bridges across multiple dimensions of space, time and tradition – inspiring change and reclamation of Sovereignty and Freedom.

Our scars and our skills tell the stories of our journeys. We have fought many battles, only to learn time and time again that gratitude, love and joy are our most precious resources.

So, we choose to nurture, cultivate and share these vibrations, holding the Light of Hope high, while we – individually and collectively – dive into the depths of Sacred Darkness to reclaim our long-lost powers and gifts.

We share healing presence and the medicines of Nature, including stories, prayers and songs, to support those who seek assistance on their journey towards Empowered Being and Freedom.

We offer resources and opportunities for self-discovery and guidance for mastering the art of living authentically in a world that can at times feel chaotic and hostile.

My Story

I, Minna Pyhälä (also known as Txana Siriani), am a native of Finland who grew up as a third culture kid on four continents of the world. Having been exposed to many countries, cultures and traditions since an early age, I have – from an early age – been passionate about seeking to understand the mysteries of our world, to bridge differences, and create connection, well-being, harmony, justice and peace.

More about my transformative journey

I have an academic and professional background in the fields of natural sciences (marine biology) and environmental politics, which I left in my late 30s, when a personal crisis led me to turn to spirituality and the medicines of nature for answers and support.

Since 2015, I have been on a deep journey of study and initiations with the plants and various indigenous and spiritual traditions, including Huni Kuĩ, Yawanawa, Shipibo, Santo Daime, Umbanda, Barquinha, Q’ero, Wixarika, and Native American Church. I have also received training and initiations in numerous modalities of bodywork and energy healing. Plants that I have dieted include Noya Rao, Bobinsana, Renaquilla, and Muka. I am also a Reiki Master.

In 2020, I discovered that I suffer from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (c-PTSD) caused by developmental trauma. Supported by various mentors and guides (including a Somatic Trauma Specialist), the plant medicines, indigenous knowledge and various spiritual practices, I embarked on a fascinating and challenging Hero’s Journey of self-discovery, self-healing and self-reclamation. With these resources and the help of creative expression, I found the courage to dive into my darkness, so that I could discover what is confining me, transmute it and create space for my Spirit to return to and guide my life.

This has been the most frightening, transformative, beautiful, heart-opening, empowering and rewarding experience of my life.

I am an eternal student, an adventurer, a survivor, a visionary, a creator, a mother, a wife, a channeller, a storyteller, a musician, a medicine carrier, a guide, a community leader, a freedom fighter and peacemaker.

My journey with the Huni Kuĩ people began in 2017. Rua Inu and I first met in Boa Vista village in 2022. In 2023 we got married and committed to walking and working together in service of Spirit, the sacred medicines, and our families and communities.

Here you can read my Hero’s Journey story of visiting Rua Inu’s village of Boa Vista for the first time during the covid pandemic in early 2021. (Note: In the story, I go by another Huni Kuĩ name, that I carried before I married Rua Inu).

Rua Inu Keã Huni Kuĩ

Rua Inu Keã is a Huni Kuĩ Indian from the Kaxinawá Indigenous Territory of Upper Jordão river in the Brazilian state of Acre, near the Peruvian border. He was born, grew up and spent most of his adult life living with his family in the village of Boa Vista, which was founded by his grandfather and father when the Huni Kuĩ people first gained land rights in the late 1970s.

Rua Inu has studied the traditions of his ancestors, their spirituality and healing sciences together with his father, his grandparents as well as various other relatives who are recognized healers, teachers and experts in medicinal plants, prayers and Huni Kuĩ spirituality.

Rua Inu is a natural leader, and was one of the first younger generation students in his village to begin studying and working to revitalise their cultural and spiritual heritage in 2000. From an early age he received several visions and messages from Spirit as well as his teachers and guides that he would one day travel far away from his home.

He is the father of five children and during his life has worked as a teacher, builder, farmer, hunter, fisherman, boat driver and chainsaw operator. He is a student of the healing arts, a Txana (singer of sacred prayers), an artist and a community leader.

Since 2023, Rua Inu is living in Finland, working as an ambassador of his people: sharing his ancestral knowledge and the force of nature, as well as learning new ways and gathering resources to support his family in the forest.
