Pacha Nete

Pacha, in Runasimi, the language of the Andean civilization, means space-time. There are three levels of worlds: the Uku Pacha (World Below - Inner Space), Kai Pacha (In-between World - The Space We Are In) and Kanan Pacha ( World Below - Exterior Space).
Nete, in Shipibo-Conibo, the language of the Amazonian civilization means, land, day, worlds.The interpretation and intonation of this word changes according to the daylight

During the Pacha Nete sessions, Peruvian artists Arely Amaut Gomez Sanchez and Milke Sinuiri Panduro share Andean-Amazonian knowledges as an invitation to encounter ancestral consciousness and healings directed towards a new time, the present future.

Through the symbology and principles embodied by the architectural complexes built by the ancestral society of the Andes we can (re)read knowledges that remind us of the possibility to integrate seeming binary opposites that are in fact complementary, Pachamama and Pachakamak, showing that chaos and cosmos support each other, the feminine with the masculine, intuition with reason, the interior and exterior etc. The messages of the medicinal plants of the Amazon in turn reach the circle of the ceremony in the form of healing chants in Shipibo-Conibo called “Ikaros”.

Ceremony brings us together in reciprocal conversation, which we gradually weave together as we listen deeply to each other. We can imagine the spoken as a healing song, the ceremony as layers woven-interwoven-interweaving cyclically. Pacha Nete is the (re)encounter of what is already woven between Andean and Amazonian ancestral knowledges, where Pacha means simultaneously worlds and times-spaces. The earth as Pacha and Nete, the plants as Pacha – each of us as Pacha, thus fractally infinitely interconnected and regenerating. We meet in the circle of this Thinking Together Ceremony and weave Pachas together.

One hundred times-spaces.
One hundred worlds.
One hundred lands.
One hundred mothers.
One hundred wombs.
