MeettheVoices

Join us at Wild Nature Farm on for the Voices of Ancestral Peoples Gathering - two days of reconnection, cultural traditions, and shared wisdom on the land of Rennesøy, Norway. 20-21 October 2026.

Carriers of Living Wisdom

The gathering brings together Indigenous elders, wisdom keepers, spiritual practitioners, artists, facilitators, and communities from different parts of the world for a shared space of dialogue, activities, reflection, and action. Through teachings, conversations, cultural exchange, and collective practices, participants will explore how ancestral wisdom can guide more balanced and regenerative ways of living together.

Each voice invited to this gathering carries a unique thread of ancestral wisdom. Together, they weave a tapestry of understanding that connects us to the earth, to each other, and to the deeper currents of life.

As more guests, contributors, and facilitators are confirmed, this page will continue to evolve.

Portrait of Pai Nani (Kateyuve) of the Yawanawá tribe

Pai Nani (Kateyuve) - Yawanawá Tribe

Pai Nanî (Nani Kateyuve) is a spiritual leader of the Yawanawá people, an Indigenous community living in the Acre region of the Brazilian Amazon. The Yawanawá have protected and lived in deep relationship with their territory for thousands of years, preserving one of the most biodiverse regions of the rainforest. 

As one of the few elders who still speaks the original Pano language fluently, Pai Nanî has dedicated his life to preserving and sharing the ancestral traditions, stories, and spiritual knowledge of his people.

Over recent years, Pai Nanî has represented Indigenous voices at international gatherings including COP summits, the World Economic Forum, the European Parliament, and meetings with global leaders. His presence at the gathering offers an opportunity to listen directly to perspectives rooted in reciprocity with nature, intergenerational knowledge, and cultural resilience.
