Matsini

This gathering is guided by Matsini Yawanawá, one of the first Yawanawá to reach the highest spiritual initiations after the long period of religious domination imposed on his people’s territory — a time when ancestral practices were suppressed and nearly lost. His presence represents the living continuity of a lineage that has been carefully restored through devotion, discipline, and deep respect for the forest and the spirits.During this event, participants are invited into an authentic ceremonial space rooted in Yawanawá cosmology, sacred chants, and traditional medicines. Matsini’s work is not presented as a performance or an isolated experience, but as part of a living spiritual tradition that emphasizes responsibility, humility, and integration. Each ceremony is guided with precision and care, honoring the rhythm of nature and the collective energy of the group.Today, Matsini plays a vital role in guiding younger generations of the Yawanawá people, supporting the revival of cultural pride, spiritual strength, and communal flourishing. By opening this space to non-Indigenous participants, he acts as a bridge between worlds — offering a rare opportunity for deep listening, reconnection, and learning, while ensuring that these teachings are shared with integrity and respect.This event is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with ancestral wisdom, and experience a profound alignment with self, community, and the natural world — guided by a lineage that remains alive, resilient, and deeply rooted in the Amazon forest.
