THE NETWORK OF LIGHT
The healers we work together with.
CLARA SOFIA OUCHÈNE
Director of Le Salon des Alchimistes
The Salon des Alchimistes was born from my encounters throughout all of my travels.
Alchemist is an ancient word that refers to the transformation of base metals into gold, an analogy to the transformation of oneself. With the Alchemist my idea is to link different ancestral cultures which are the source of precious support on our journey of transformation and re-connection with our origins and ourselves.
Le Salon des Alchimistes is a platform that facilitates exchange and sharing for those who wish to experience these transmissions. A knowledge that was originally passed from family to family and which was in the service of the whole community. Today this knowledge is getting lost, cut off in the history of lives and generations. Le Salon des Alchimistes reweaves these links to recreate this sharing for anyone in search of knowledge and freedom.
I offer you creations with extraordinary speakers and therapists, far from classic encounters. Anchored in their heritage and in the traditions of their civilisation, these wise men and woman will be able to bring you wonderful mind openings: travels to the source.
I know personally all the beings presented below.

TAITA MIGUEL ANGEL MUTUMBAJOY
Traditional doctor from the Kamentsa Tradition, Sibundoy Colombia
Taita Miguel Angel Mutumbajoy Juajivoy pertenece a la comunidad Camentsà de Sibundoy Putumayo en el sur de Colombia: nací en el territorio biocultural ancestral, en un sitio llamado Tamabioy, es una reserva indígena. Mi padre es Miguel Mutumbajoy y mi madre Salvadora Juajivoy. Mi padre es un reconocido Taita de la comunidad de Camentsà, conocedor de la medicina ancestral. Estoy en este camino, en esta raíz, desde niño. Aprendí mucho sobre la medicina de mi padre pero también de otros Taitas que estaban conmigo. El yagé es el más fuerte para nosotros pero también recibí el conocimiento de curación a través de plantas medicinales.
Poco a poco voy aprendiendo de los mayores, de los ancestros del yagé, siguiendo la línea de mi padre. He estado liderando ceremonias y sirviendo yagé desde 2014. Antes todavía no era aprendiz así que me alineé para estar listo para servir el remedio. Cada día es una experiencia de aprendizaje y aprendemos al servicio de la medicina para enseñar y dar más luz y claridad a la humanidad, más allá de mi propia comunidad. La intención es la sanación de todos y la protección de nuestro territorio, la Amazonia, el pulmón de la Tierra.

THE KOGUI NATION
Ancestral Wisdom from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Colombia, Kogui tradition
Les Kogis sont les gardiens de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta avec les Arhuacos, Wiwas et Kankuamos. Ils appellent ce territoire, au nord de la Colombie, le Cœur du Monde. Il représente la diversité de la Terre entière, de la mer des Caraïbes au désert, de la jungle aux montagnes enneigées. La chaîne de montagnes forme un cœur et selon leur sagesse, la vie sur Terre naît dans les lagons au sommet des montagnes, où la neige recouvre les sommets toute l'année.
La spiritualité des gardiens du Cœur du Monde consiste à faire ce qu'ils appellent des « pagamentos », des offrandes en réciprocité aux esprits, faisant partie de leur cosmologie. Ils ont une connaissance approfondie de la Sagesse Terrestre et les Mamos – autorité spirituelle – sont de puissants guérisseurs.
La tranquillité et la paix de la Première Nation de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta montrent à quel point elle est liée à toute la Création.

ELEANOR O'HANLON
Writer, teacher & traveler
Eleanor O'Hanlon teaches connectedness with the spirit of nature: the path to awakening the inner and spiritual dimension of our relationships with animals and the natural world.
"I had the great privilege of encountering many animals up close in their natural domain - whales, lions, wolves, bears, wild horses, elephants and many more. When I encountered the depths in a whale's gaze, fire in a lion's eyes, when I stood in front of the massive family of African elephants that had deliberately come our way, I knew I I was in the presence of beings whose depth of consciousness far exceeded anything I had learned about them before.
Their presence filled me with wonder and appreciation and made me realize much more deeply what it means to awaken as a human being: present to the immense intelligence of the living planet, such that it radiates in its splendor within the unity of all Being. From this awakening, we can truly hear and respond to the burning call of this time to love, protect and accompany all life.”
STEPHEN POPE
Writer & Teacher of the Kabbalah
Stephen Pope BD MA brings out the essence of Kabbalah teachings in a simple and straightforward way. It features fresh translations of biblical texts that completely free them from the distortions caused by centuries of patriarchal mistranslation, misogyny, and hierarchical thinking.
"The teachings of Kabbalah tell us that all of existence is the manifestation of the One Consciousness, which expresses itself through the unfolding of the Great Beauty of diverse life, in multiple dimensions. Creation does not is not a past event: it is always present in us, here and now. When we release our mind from the grip of compulsive thinking, we consciously receive this outpouring of creative Life from Source. This is the deeper meaning of Kabbalah, which comes from the Hebrew root meaning to receive.”
