Racines

Amakaba est née d'une vision reçu par Tabita Rezaire, artiste et gardienne des cycles, qui a entendu l'appel des ancêtres urgeant leurs descendances à se reconnecter à la terre, à l'honorer, et à preserver ses sagesses.

Créé en 2020, Amakaba propose à ses début des cours de yoga et de danse, organise des sessions d'observation astronomique, des ballade en forêt nocturne pour les pleines lunes et des célébration de solstice et d'équinoxe en attendant de trouver sa terre.

En 2021, Amakaba rencontre sa forêt sacrée, perchée sur le Mont Mahury, à Remire Montjoly.

Depuis 2022, Amamaka récolte et transforme le cacao de sa cacaoyère centenaire et partage via une agriculture participative, les joies et les peines du travail de la terre.

OUR

MISSION

Amakaba is growing around 3 trinities: EARTH, BODY and SKY.

EARTH

Amakaba is a call to hear the songs of the earth, to honor her rhythm, to protect her soils and wisdoms, to create intimacy with the forest.

BODY

Our bodies speak. Our ancestors speak to us through them, through body memory, moves and pains. Taking care of ourselves and our bodies is also caring for our lineages and the generations to come.

SKY

Amakaba is inspired by the mysteries and mystics of the universe. We celebrate the equinoxes & solstices or gather to observe the sky through the telescope or sit to listen to the elders’ stories.

OUR ROOTS

The roots of the project

Amakaba came to life from Tabita Rezaire. She has always been called by cocoa and knew she wanted to connect to this beautiful tree and fruits.

This is how after studying agriculture, she started an adventure to find the land that will welcome Amakaba and its dreams.

Lent by the Collectivité de Guyane, the current Amakaba land is located at the top of Mont-Mahury in Rémire-Montjoly, French Gaiana. In the middle of the luxurious Amazionan forest, it gathers two wonderful cocoa plantations, together with banana plantations and medicinal plants.
