Welcome to Ceu das Sereias Heaven of the Mermaids...
We are a Women's Plant Spirit Medicine Church located on the Sunshine Coast of BC
We honor Nature Spirits in our Ceremonies, including Iemanja, the Queen of the Sea, Oxum, the Goddess of the Rivers, Cachoeira, the Goddess of the Waterfalls & Jurema, the Queen of the Jungle!
We sing Pontos, which are calling hymns in each of our Ceremonies to welcome these Guardian Spirits to join us for guidance, protection & healing. Many of the songs we sing are in Portuguese as they come from Brazilian Plant Spirit Medicine Traditions.
We also sing Saitis, which are sacred songs from the Yawanawa Tribe in the Brazilian Amazon. Like the Pontos, many of the Saitis are offerings of Gratitude to Nature, the Nature Spirits that exists all around us & to the Spiritual force that guides and watches over each and every one.
We honor Paje Putanny Yawanawa in our Ceremonies....
Our Church founder & ceremony facilitator, Renee Boje's spiritual mother is Putanny Yawanawa, who, along with her sister, Hushahu were the first women to become shamans in the Yawanawa Tribe, located in the Brazilian Amazon. You may view videos of Putanny & Hushahu below.
Renee has a deep Love & Profound respect for the Yawanawa lineage, their Saitis (Sacred songs) & traditions. She is devoted to building a Rainbow Bridge between the Sunshine Coast of BC & the Yawanawa Tribe in the Brazilian Amazon.
​
We sing Yawanawa Saitis (Sacred Songs) in all of our Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonies & do a deep study of these Saitis in our Plant Priestess Certification course. We also recite prayers in the Yawanawa language. Renee is devoted to preserving the sacred teachings of the Yawanawa lineage by sharing all she has learned and continues to learn in her studies with the female leaders of the Yawanawa tribe. Please feel welcome to listen to some of the Beautiful Saitis sung by Putanny Yawanawa in our gallery below.
​
Renee & the women of Ceu das Sereias are raising funds to bring Paje Putanny Yawanawa to Canada to hold Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonies & Workshops for the women of our church here on the Sunshine Coast. Ceu das Sereias also hopes to bring many other Female Leaders from the Yawanawa tribe here to hold workshops & ceremonies for our community.
​
Renee is currently offering Plant Priestess Certification Courses in order to help empower women to step into a guardianship role for Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonies. After completing this training, women who feel called may apply to become guardians in our women's church as well as to help with guardianship in the larger ceremonies we will be holding with Paje Putanny Yawanawa. The guardianship positions offered through our church are paid positions. If you are interested in learning more about this program please visit our Plant Priestess page.

Our Women's Ceremonies...
Our facilitator, Renee Boje is a trained Medicine Woman with over 20 years experience facilitating Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonies. Renee has dedicated her medicine path toward helping women to heal their traumas in a safe setting so that they may step into their power, connect with their higher self for healing & guidance & live their dream!
​
Our Ceremonies are Spiritual Ceremonies. It does not matter what religion you choose or if you choose no religion, we are all one and we all have the ability to connect with the Divine that exists within. Women, at this very important time on Earth, we are being called to remember who we are and to step into our power & join together to support one another in our collective awakening. We are the natural stewards of Mother Earth. Many of us birthed here at this time to become Spiritual Midwives for the birth of the New Earth that is here now. All that is required is for us to awaken and to remember.
​​
Prior to our Ceremonies Renee holds weekly singing & preparation meetings at our temple space. We practice singing the hymns, pontos & saitis (Sacred Yawanwa songs) that we will be singing in our upcoming ceremonies.
Shamanic Drumming journeys are included in all of our ceremonies.
Renee makes herself available to hold one on one integrations for anyone who attends our ceremonies.
