About this Retreat
My name is Emma. I am a graduated psychologist and I am currently studying Familiar Constellations and transpersonal therapy, in order to combine and use these tools in my work with plant medicine.
During my Psychology studies, I didn't connect with the therapeutic potential of the approach that we were being taught. I thought that the therapies were mainly based on highly mental, slow, and shallow strategies. I realized that quite often, people go to therapy for many years without really getting to the root of their trauma, either because they deceive themselves and the therapist, or because they don't have the tools to see, remember, and start healing what caused their wound.
It it was a few years later, while travelling through Latin America, that I truly connected with the healing power and potential of master plants in a way that completely changed my life and my relationship with psychotherapy.
First in Nicaragua and then in Colombia, I had the opportunity to live near communities that were deeply connected to sacred plants. Thus, I began my own healing journey in a beautiful and profound process that made me reconnect with psychology and therapy in a completely different way than what I had been shown at university. I could see the extent to which plants can help people truly heal their traumas from the root, from the depths of their being. I could see the suffering that we accumulate by growing up in this society, and the need to work for mental health and collective healing. And I started to vision the role I could play as a guide in these sacred spaces, being able to offer my guidance, support and love before, during, and after the ceremony.
Since that first connection with teacher plants, I started studying them and accompanying ceremonies and retreats by the hand of my project partner, Gloria. I have witnessed profound healing experiences, empowerment, and life changes, and it is my biggest goal, mission, and honor being able to support you in this beautiful journey towards growth and healing.
My name is Gloria, I am Colombian, and currently studying art therapy and Energetic phytotherapy. I began my journey with medicinal plants at a very young age when I tried yagé with the Inga tribe in Colombia, who use wachuma (San Pedro) and rapé to prepare the body. It was an experience that completely changed my life, as it healed my body and soul.
I moved a little bit away from the path of medicinal plants when I discovered the Hare Krishna temple in Bogotá and spent time with the Krishna devotees, learning their scriptures, music, food, meditation, and yoga.
I studied pharmaceutical chemistry in Bogotá and came to Spain to continue my university studies. Although my university classes revealed to me that my way of helping people is through the ancestral medicines that come from my culture.
Working with people has always been my dream, and I firmly believe that this planet will be a much better place when we all empower ourselves, come together, and return to loving and caring for what is essential from the heart. That is why I also want to incorporate the ancestral wisdom of Colombian indigenous women, making them part of this project.
I share rapé and San Pedro ceremonies, and I also lead "children of the sky" (magic mushrooms) ceremonies, which I cultivate with much love and care.
Taita Jose Mora is a Colombian traditional doctor, shaman and healer of the Cofán tradition.
He is a disciple of Taita Querubín Queta Alvarado, the highest authority of Yagé medicine (Ayahuasca) in Colombia, who passed away on January 2024 in his 111 years old to go back to the Unity.
Taita Jose Mora follows the path of Abuelo Querubín, sharing he medicine of Yagé to expand the knowledge and the teachings that he left him, being in service to humanity in order to help and heal all of those who approach him.
Taita Jose lives in the Putumayo jungle in Colombia and shares medicine there in his land with his family and community.
He has been learning with the plant of Yagé during all his life, and it is a real honor to take medicine with him and experience the healing, knowledge and teachings that he carries.

The medicine of Yagé (Ayahuasca) is one of pure love, deep healing, and ancestral wisdom. When held with care and good guidance, this teacher plant can support you in healing your mind, body, and soul. It can strengthen your spiritual connection and help you align with your purpose, offering mental clarity and insight.
If you are open and willing to listen, Yagé can provide some of the most profound healing experiences possible. It is an ancestral tool for personal growth that helps you reach the root of your trauma, allowing true understanding and deep healing to begin.
If you have a history of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, or self-destructive patterns—and you are committed to letting go of these conditions—this retreat may be for you. By cleansing the body and mind, turning inward, and listening to the wisdom of the Earth, you may find the tools and understanding to reset and realign your path.
If you are committed to your personal and spiritual growth and feel ready to take a step further in your development—seeking deeper understanding of yourself, your family, your relationships, or even the world, the Earth, and the Universe—this retreat might be the right space for you.
You will be guided by the Femtheogen team, Taita José Mora, and his disciple Piri, who come all the way from the Colombian jungle to share their wisdom and healing.
It is a true honour for us at Femtheogen to organise this retreat with Taita José Mora, disciple of Taita Querubín Queta Alvarado—the highest authority of Yagé medicine, who passed away in January 2023 at the age of 111, after over a century of sharing medicine, healing, and ancestral knowledge.
Taita José continues this sacred legacy. Together with Piri, he will leave his jungle home to come to our beautiful farmhouse in Almuñécar, Spain, to offer his healing and share his chants, music, and prayers that support the ceremonies and your personal process.
They will take care of the energy, the space, and the group, ensuring spiritual protection and a safe container for your journey. You will be in good hands.
Additionally, Kambo medicine will be offered during the retreat—a powerful cleansing medicine from the Amazon that complements Ayahuasca ceremonies by helping to detoxify and prepare the body, mind, and spirit.
Throughout the retreat—and both before and after—we at Femtheogen will be here to support you in your process and assist in all communications with Taita José and Piri.
Although at Femtheogen we usually work with mushrooms medicine, we have been working with Yagé for several years for our own personal healing and growth. In 2023, we had the opportunity to live for a couple months in the Ukumari Kankhe Indigenous Reserve (Putumayo, Colombia) with Taita Querubín himself. He was the ultimate guardian of Yagé in Colombia and a spiritual leader of the Cofán people. They welcomed us with open arms, and words cannot express the depth of our gratitude. Our way of honouring this gift is to carry and share his teachings with our families, our communities, and through our work. Organising this retreat with his disciple, Taita José Mora, is a way to give more people access to the profound healing of this sacred plant—guided by someone who embodies deep knowledge, humility, and love.
This retreat is not for everyone. It requires trust in the process, willingness to let go, humility to receive the plant’s teachings, and openness to the transformation they can bring.
Yagé, also known as Ayahuasca, is an ancestral Amazonian medicine. Its name means “vine of the soul” in Quechua, referring to the connection with the spirits of wise ancestors. Indigenous elders use it to seek answers from within, to separate and cleanse the soul, and to return it renewed to the body.
Taita José Mora is able to help heal many physical and emotional conditions, if you are willing to surrender and allow the medicine to work. If you have a specific situation or question, feel free to contact us.
