Two visions, one place

Atinouwa is the meeting of two visions. Mamo Duavico y reconnaît des lieux passerelles avec la sagesse Arhuaco, liés au site sacré de Mamorwa en Colombie. Frédérique et Cédric y ont cherché un lieu de nature sauvage et préservée pour la rencontre avec la sagesse des peuples premiers.

La ferme des Gastres se tient à Annot, dans une vallée ensoleillée des Alpes de Haute-Provence, à 750 m. Falaises de grès, torrent vigoureux, arbres multicentenaires et un bâti chargé d'histoires composent le site.

Mamo Duavico et sa femme Lililana l'ont baptisé « Ati-Nouwa ».

« Ati-Nouwa », daughter of the divine mother who, after travelling through every world and experiencing every facet of life, settled in the heights of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta to pass on art and culture to Indigenous women.

The farm and the silence

As a working farm, it values the chestnut and its centuries-old chestnut trees.

The place is dedicated to welcoming representatives of the ancestral wisdoms of First Peoples.

In the silence and beauty of nature, a return to oneself opens, and a reconnection with the living presence of the forces of nature.

Reconnecting with Mother Earth

Reweaving the bond of modern humans with the wisdom of a sacred land, of our territories here and now, of Mother Earth.

Embodying one's place as a whole human being and reconnecting with the wisdom of our origins.
