About this Retreat
Your Guides
My name is Engels, and I am a dedicated Psychedelic Therapy Facilitator. My path in this work is rooted in a deep belief that within each of us lies an innate capacity for healing, wisdom, and wholeness.
I specialize in creating a safe, compassionate, and grounded container for your journey with sacred plant medicines like Ayahuasca. My approach is holistic, weaving together my training in somatic therapy, transpersonal psychology, and trauma care with a profound respect for indigenous traditions.
My role is not to guide your journey but to guide you through it—to help you navigate the landscapes of your own consciousness with confidence. I am here to offer unwavering support, to help you integrate your insights, and to honor the profound courage it takes to embark on this path of self-discovery.
My deepest honor has been to walk alongside respected Maestros in your ceremonies, supporting the sacred container. This profound experience has taught me that the true magic lies in witnessing an individual's courageous journey back to their own essence. It is a privilege to be a part of that process—to see someone release what no longer serves them and step into a life illuminated with clarity, purpose, and vibrant vitality.
I am here to hold space for your transformation.
Details of this retreat
Welcome to Ometepe, more than a destination, it is a living, breathing sanctuary. Largest island in a freshwater lake in the world, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Born from the elemental union of two volcanoes rising from the vastness of Lake Nicaragua, this island has been a place of pilgrimage and power for millennia.
Ometepe’s spirit is one of profound duality and harmony: the fierce, ascending energy of Volcán Concepción (Fire) meets the deep, receptive wisdom of Volcán Maderas (Water).
This unique geology creates a natural container for transformation.
Ancient peoples recognized this sacred power, leaving over 1,700 petroglyphs as eternal whispers in stone.
Today, a thriving community of guardians, farmers, and healers nurtures this energy.
For your journey with Sacred and Vital, Ometepe is not merely a backdrop.
It is an active participant in your healing, a timeless landscape where the elements guide you to release, ground, and ascend.
At Sacred and Vital, we create a safe, loving space for you to connect deeply with the medicine, nature, and yourself. Each retreat is guided with intention, respect, and presence — honoring the ancient wisdom of the plants and the inner teacher within every participant.
This intimate retreat offers an opportunity to release, realign, and remember who you truly are — supported by ceremony, community, and the living spirit of the forest.
