Putanni Yawanawa
Yawanawa spirituality is a sacred land where a woman has never dared to enter before, as since the time of her ancestors it has belonged to men only.
In 2005, two women, Putanni and her sister, were the first to take the sacred oath of the Yawanawa people.
Since then they have been recognized as the first women to be trained in Yawanawa spiritual practices. After a year of a strict diet, Putanni was recognized and respected as a spiritual leader in her community, opening the way to this sacred land for other Yawanawa women.
This tradition breaking unified the masculine and feminine universes and brought the allure of feminine spirituality to complement and reinforce the Yawanawa culture.
Since 2016, Putanni and her husband Birasi Kasiki have been holding events in the village, providing a unique experience for those who desires to experience Yawanawa culture and spirituality at its source. Participants also contribute to the development of the Yawanawa Sacred Village Ceremonial Center.
