About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

We warmly invite you to our upcoming Integrative Plant Medicine Retreat, held at our beautiful retreat oasis in the heart of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, Andalusia, Spain.
During five transformative days, we will guide you through three Plant Medicine Ceremonies held in the Shipibo tradition and one Cacao & Breathwork Ceremony. We will share the sacred medicine of Hapé with you and offer you a deep journey of healing, growth, and reconnection.
In addition to the ceremonies, we will guide you through various integration and process work practices, offering you the opportunity to deepen your personal journey. These tools are designed to support your continued growth and self-discovery, both during the retreat and in your everyday life.
With over 12 years of experience in the realm of plant medicine, connected to a strong Shipibo ancestor lineage, and guided by powerful plant spirits, we are honored to share this work and create a sacred space of healing and transformation for you.
The retreat is limited to a small group size of a maximum of 10 participants in order to create an intimate setting and allow us to give more personal attention to each individual.


The Plant Medicine Ceremonies (Ayahuasca):
In these Plant Medicine Ceremonies, you will connect with the powerful spirits of sacred healing plants from the Peruvian Amazon.
By drinking this sacred and potent medicine, you enter the realms of the Master Plants, allowing you to work on higher levels of consciousness and experience deep healing, purification, and transformation on physical, psychological, emotional, energetic, and spiritual levels.
This powerful medicine can heal trauma, clean out ancestral karma, transform old patterns, and release blockages – not only from this lifetime – in a profound and lasting way.
The Plant Spirits open you to your inner truth, connecting you with your higher self, deeper understanding, and the blessings of life.
By integrating the experiences, teachings, and wisdom of the plants, this journey can become the starting point for profound life change and living your full potential.
Participation in the ceremonies is also possible without drinking the medicine.

The Cacao Breathwork Ceremony:
Cacao Ceremonies have their roots in the ancient traditions of the Maya and Aztecs in Central and South America. The spirit of cacao – often referred to as Mama Cacao – was honored in spiritual ceremonies as a sacred heart-opener, bringing clarity, inner harmony, and a deep connection to one’s creativity. This gentle yet powerful plant medicine can awaken euphoric states, release emotions, calm the mind, and help us reconnect with our Higher Self, the wisdom within, and the loving energy that resides in the body.
For centuries, cacao has been used as a tool to heal the mental, physical, and spiritual body.
When combined with Conscious Connected Breathing, we move beyond the limitations of the thinking mind. This breathwork practice increases the oxygen supply to the brain and bloodstream, stimulates the nervous system, and activates the release of various hormones—including anandamide, also known as the “bliss molecule.” In this expanded state of awareness, stress, tension, and emotional blocks can be released. Creativity flows, and we are invited into a space of inner peace, love, and deep compassion. Our deeper truth may emerge.
The medicine of cacao and the medicine of our own breath form a profoundly powerful combination—inviting us into an embodied journey of deep healing and inner transformation.
“Our breathing is the direct connection to pure consciousness.”

Rapé & Sananga Sharings:
Rapé (pronounced Hapee) is a sacred and powerful plant medicine with deep healing, purifying, and centering properties. It has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes of Brazil, such as the Huni Kuin, Yawanawá, and Nukini.
This finely ground powder is made from Mapacho tobacco combined with the ash or ingredients of various medicinal plants. It is administered through a bamboo pipe called a Tepi, gently blown into the nose.
Rapé cleanses both physically and energetically, supports healing, opens the heart, sharpens the mind, clears the consciousness, and decalcifies the pineal gland. It is a powerful ally for grounding, clarity, and enhanced focus – especially during meditation.

The Process and Integration Work:
Integration is the most essential element for embodying and manifesting what you’ve experienced into your daily life.
It is the process of bringing energetic, emotional, and physical experiences into conscious awareness.
To support and empower your journey, we offer a variety of integration tools and practices. These may include Breathwork, Trauma Work, Body Work, Shadow Work, Emotional Release, Inner Child Work, and Inquiry Practices – intuitively chosen to meet you where you are.
These methods help you anchor your insights and deepen your transformation with clarity and self-empowerment.
