The Course

You are invited to join Yvarini Wãnu Yawanawá & the Spirit of the Forest team for a 3-week study to encounter The Perfume of Your Spirit.

Connect with your soul’s unique essence through the ancient technology of Yawanawá traditional chants
.

You will be guided using the forces of Yawanawá traditional saitis (chants), the sacred melodies of the guitar, and the profound wisdom of the forest. This class offers you a window into the traditional music of the Yawanawá people, a treasure of oral history, spirituality, and community bonding.

In this class, you'll get hands-on instruction and feedback for each of the traditional songs that have echoed through the rainforest for generations. Through interactive lessons, you'll discover the stories behind the music and the vital role it plays in preserving their unique heritage.

Connecting with the saitis is an ancient technology of transmutation that opens the heart. As you open your heart and voice, your own connection to Spirit strengthens. The practice of singing saitis as a community is at the core of Yawanawá spirituality.

As you build your own practice and grow in your study, the powerful vibration of these saitis will open new pathways for you as you journey into this spirituality, allowing you to engage even more deeply with the Spirit of the Forest, and to listen even deeper to the call for support and solidarity as we join together with our indigenous leaders to preserve and restore our precious earth.

Meet your Teacher:
Yvarani Wãnu Yawanawá


Wãnu has been dedicated to the spiritual studies of her tradition since she was a young girl. Born and raised in the Yawanawá indigenous land of the Mutum village, she was privileged to study with their great shaman, Pajé Tata as well her aunt Hushahu, who was the first ever woman of the Yawanawá to drink Uni and enter into the Muka dieta,. She has been following the path of the sacred medicines with great delicacy and responsibility.

Like her aunt Hushahu, Wanu is a woman of firsts within her tribe. At a time when only two men had begun to weave the guitar and saitis together, Wanu became one of the first woman in her village to play and sing saitis on the guitar. Her strong dedication to study with her teachers is what opened her channels to receive the many beautiful melodies that so many of us know and love today.
