About this Retreat
Your Guides
Laura brings her love and experience as a trained pre-natal yoga teacher, human experience researcher, and plant whisperer to the Escuela de Curanderismo and the Quetzalcoatl Temple. As a graduate of the Escuela and a dedicated community gardening supporter, she aims to help others connect to their individual and collective roots through movement, platicas, and energetic limpias.
As a dual Costa Rican and US citizen, Laura seeks to bridge nature-based practices of Curanderismo with human-centered thinking frameworks to serve various audiences at the physical, mental, and spiritual level. She also leverages her 15 year experience as a higher education instructor to guide students through the Escuela as a co-teacher alongside Athena.
Details of this retreat
Our organization, Quetzalcoatl Temple, follows the way of the Toltecayotl- the art of intentional doing, a guide for the transformation of individuals and society. We conduct research on medicinal plants, host community garden plant give-aways, and offer online + in-person apprenticeship retreats that convey the unique and powerful Latin American system of healing known as Curanderismo.
Our apprenticeship retreats emphasize the cultures, language, and traditions of the Maya and Naga Maya and convey these with appreciation and respect. This four-part, online + in-person apprenticeship program is designed to help students develop the intuitive abilities of the healer and gain the knowledge of thousands of years of human interaction with plants, food, prayer, and energy work.

Schedule
Our 5 day apprenticeship retreat begins with a few evening online sessions that cover the Curanderismo principles associated with each direction (South, West, North, East). Each evening session is no more than 2 hours long and begins to set up the apprentices with the concepts and frameworks that we'll engage in during the in-person 3 day weekend retreat.
For the in-person retreat, daily activities begin at 8am with the awakening of the self, preparing the physical body through yoga asana practices and short meditation sessions prior to diving into medicinal and energetic work.
A breakfast break at 9am allows students to continue nourishing their body in the outdoor kitchen and feeding their unique digestive agni fire prior to engaging in daily healing and wellness topics and related shamanic activities.
Lunch hour at noon offers students the opportunity to refresh and reset their bodies through food and Ayurvedic diets with the option to embed themselves within nature around the retreat center's property.
Daily in-person activities are complete by 5p. Each retreat will include one evening fire ceremony during the 3 day in-person gathering.
