About this Retreat
Roey, the visionary founder of Vikara Retreat Center, has been on a transformative path of healing and self-discovery for over a decade. His journey began in 2014 when he started working with plant medicines, including San Pedro, mushrooms, and ayahuasca—experiences that ignited a deep passion for spiritual exploration and healing. Seeking profound wisdom and a diverse range of ceremonial approaches, Roey traveled extensively to learn from a variety of teachers and traditions, immersing himself in the sacred practices of indigenous cultures.
Before embracing plant medicine, Roey practiced yoga for over 7 years, starting with Ashtanga Yoga, which laid the foundation for his discipline. He completed his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Ecuador, where he deepened both his practice and his understanding of yoga’s transformative power.
Roey has also undertaken four vision quests in Ecuador under the supervision of Taita Alejo Valdivieso, a revered Indigenous elder, where he received the blessings to lead sweat lodges, and has been since praying and guiding the Temazcal ceremonies in Vikara.
With over 13 years of experience in the therapeutic world, Roey has a deep understanding of healing modalities, which he integrates into the offerings at Vikara. In 2020, Roey founded Vikara Retreats, a space dedicated to sharing the transformative power of plant medicines, along with many other practices and tools that serve bringing more light to the consciousness and allowing more balance to enter in to our lives.
Vikara’s mission is to provide tools for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery, creating a safe space for individuals seeking transformation and awakening. As Roey’s journey continues to evolve, he remains committed to expanding Vikara’s offerings and sharing the gifts of healing, wisdom, and connection with the world.
Kiya has extensive experience in managing retreat centers and organizing transformative retreats worldwide. Her commitment to community living and consciousness drives her specialization in creating spaces that foster connection and healing.
Born in Brazil, Kiya was immersed in the traditions of spiritual healers (curanderos) and shamanic rituals, which form the foundation of her heritage. Her journey as a spiritual healer began as a teenager in spiritual centers, where she deepened her channeling abilities.
With over 20 years of experience and training in diverse therapeutic approaches, Kiya developed a unique method called The Heart’s Code, facilitating deeper self-understanding and personal growth. She combines ancient wisdom like Tantra and Shamanism with modern therapeutic approaches.
Kiya leads pilgrimages in the Amazon and Andes, connecting participants with nature and sacred sites while ensuring access to plant medicine wisdom in a sacred and responsible manner. Much of her recent work focuses on empowering women to reconnect with their ancestral sisterhood, unveiling their innate wild nature and authenticity.
Her journey has been enriched by a five-year nomadic period across the Middle East, Europe, Bali, Australia, and the Americas, where she deepened her learnings and shared her work.
Kiya’s mission is to inspire others to live from their hearts, activate their inner medicine, and embrace their true selves.
Silvia is a gifted healer and spiritual guide who dedicates her work to bridging the realms of the living and the deceased. Inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, she believes in nurturing profound connections that transcend the threshold of death, enriching earthly life and supporting the journey of the departed.
Through her ceremonies and practices, Silvia helps individuals create sacred spaces to remember, honor, and build loving connections with their ancestors and loved ones who have passed on.

Participants are guided in meditations, rituals, and heartfelt expressions to honor the memories of their ancestors and lineage, creating an intimate bond that nurtures both the living and the deceased.
Her approach combines relaxation, mindfulness, reflection, and meaningful rituals such as bringing personal objects, poems, or offerings to build a bridge to the spiritual realm.
