About this Retreat
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.
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.
Details of this retreat
Would you like to experience the power of plant medicine in a safe, nurturing environment created exclusively for women?
Femtheogen is a retreat center born with this purpose. We offer a five-day retreat designed to help you reconnect with your true essence, focus on your healing and growth, and begin a deep inner journey — guided and supported with care and confidence. The retreat takes place near the beautiful coastal city of Almuñécar, surrounded by avocado groves and organic farmland.
Teacher plants such as psilocybin mushrooms, when held with care and proper guidance, can support the healing of mind, body, and soul. They can deepen your spiritual connection and help you align with your purpose, offering clarity and insight.
If you are open and willing to listen, sacred mushrooms can offer some of the most profound healing experiences. They are an ancestral tool for personal growth, helping you reach the root of your trauma and allowing true understanding and deep healing to begin.
If you have experienced challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, or self-destructive patterns — and you are committed to releasing them — this retreat may be for you. By turning inward and listening to your inner wisdom, you may find the tools and understanding to realign with your path.
If you are devoted to your personal and spiritual growth and feel ready to take the next step — seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, your family, your relationships, or even of the Earth and the Universe — this retreat may be the right space for you.
We believe that true change in the world begins with female empowerment — with reclaiming our place in society and supporting one another on this path of healing. During this retreat, you will have the opportunity to connect with other women who, like you, come to heal and to rediscover their inner strength. You will be held by a team of facilitators, medicine women, and psychologists who provide support before, during, and after the retreat.
On the first day, you will be invited to approach the medicine — psilocybin mushrooms — in a gentle and respectful way, through a cacao ceremony with a microdose of mushrooms, preparing you for a safe and transformative inner journey on the third day. The ceremonies are guided by live medicine music, which accompanies and supports your healing process.
Throughout the retreat, there will be several preparation and integration activities to support your process of healing and growth. This is a space to reconnect with Mother Nature as well, and to feel once again part of the Whole — the web of life that we are part of. We will introduce holistic health practices through yoga, nourishing food, and body care, supporting your overall well-being in body, mind, and spirit.
Ancestral medicines open the doors of the subconscious, allowing us to heal our deepest wounds. They offer us the opportunity to connect with our own divinity. We invite you to discover this fascinating world that will not leave you indifferent. We invite you to take the step — for the true journey is the one within.
