“When you are asleep, life
is a synonym of suffering.
When you awaken, life
becomes a synonym
of happiness”.
A. Nodedt
A
nan Nodedt is a contemporary mystic,
born on October 2nd, 1977 in a small
coastal town called Solymar, 20 kilometers
from Montevideo, Uruguay. Being his father
a bricklayer and his mother a maid, Anan
grew up in a humble environment where basic
needs were barely managed to be covered.
From an early age he enjoyed accompanying
his father to work where he began to take a
deep interest and fondness for construction.
During his years in lower and middle school,
Anan stood out as one of the best students
in his classroom; however, around 11 years
of age, his parents’ divorce became an event
that led him to decide to go live in the streets.
After a year of cold and hunger, some people
decide to take him into their home. However,
his life situation led him to be exposed to an
environment of drugs and alcohol. Despite
all this, he continued studying and participating
in construction projects which led him to start his
own company at age 16, and soon to enter a career
in architecture. Despite being a functional person,
emptiness and meaningfulness gradually started
taking over his life.
At 18, plunged into depression and a deep drugaddiction state, Anan had an experience of spiritual
awakening that turned his life around, taking
him to abandon his career in architecture and to
dedicate to his inner growth. Thus, he began a
search for people with the wisdom that would
help him understand more about the change that
had occurred in him; hence he left everything in
Uruguay and started travelling through Argentina
as a musician. In Chile, he lived in Santiago, in
the “Michoacán” house in the neighborhood “Los
Guindos” where Pablo Neruda lived with Delia del
Carril. There, he led the reconstruction process of
the theater they had in that house, today known

he came close to the Mapuche culture. In
Bolivia and Peru, he lived for long periods
in silence both in the mountains and in
the Peruvian Amazon with shamans and
indigenous peoples of wisdom as Don

Doña Filipa, among others. From them he
learned about the Quechua, Aymara and

Pineda, Pablo Teizán, and Victor Charles,
as well as about the work in the Temazcalli
and sacred rituals. From the bio-architecture
perspective, he directed the construction of
naturopathic clinics, yoga centers, and homes
throughout Mexico.

trainings and various healing techniques
