HISTORY
Suriname, located on the northeast coast of South America, has a rich and complex history that dates back to the indigenous peoples who inhabited the region. The country, once a colony of the Netherlands, still bears the influences of the past. Starting from 1760, the Dutch offered jenever as a gift when concluding peace treaties with the Maroons (escaped slaves). The juniper berry is believed to have a cleansing effect, which is why it is used in Winti rituals
HARMONY
Winti is a religion that originated in Suriname and arose from spiritual and religious beliefs. This religion is deeply rooted in Afro-Surinamese culture, just like among the oldest inhabitants of Suriname: the Indigenous people.
