WHAT IS A SAITI?

A Saiti is a sacred ancestral chant of the Yawanawá People.

The Saitis sung today carry within them generations upon generations of ancient spiritual transmissions. They are not simply songs. They are living vibrations.

They are shared through spiritual study and dieta, in devotion and responsibility, and passed from heart to heart through oral tradition.

The Saiti Studies are an opportunity to learn these ancestral chants directly with Yawanawá teachers, their words, melodies, meaning and the spiritual tradition from which they come.

This is more than learning to sing. It is a study of listening, repetition, devotion and relationship, receiving each Saiti with the care and responsibility with which it has been carried across generations.
