About this Retreat
Metsa Yaka was born in Germany in 1985. Since a very young age she felt drawn to the mystics of the Universe and started seeking for truth.
As she had her first Plant Medicine experience, she felt this old connection to the realm of the plants and went through an intense out of body initiation process to her path as medicine women.
The next years she went herself on a profound healing journey out of depressions and anxiety guided and supported by the sacred medicine.
In 2016 she became initiated by her teacher Inkanima in the Shipibo-Conibo lineage of his grandparrents abuelo Inkanima and abuela Ronin Wesna. She received her medicine name Metsa Yaka and started studying in various Master Plants dietas.
A big part in her life is her very strong connection to the Animal- and especially the Horse Medicine. They have accompanied her, her whole life as loving friends, wise teachers and important guides to her.
In 2017 she felt more and more called to the work with women, to support them on their very own way to liberation and deep connection within – the first Medicine Women’s Circle came to life.
With her deep, innate intuition, Metsa Yaka holds a space of clarity, love and allowance. She supports people to become present with themselves, reconnecting with their essence and inner wisdom.
As a channel for the Wisdom of Horses, Animals and the Plant Medicine, she offers a profound understanding of the teachings they impart, weaving together the threads of a deeper, holistic truth.
Through her presence and guidance, she accompanies others on their path of healing and transformation, creating a sacred space where true inner change can unfold.
Metsa Yaka is Founder of Medicina Feminina, Rao Caballo and Co-Founder of the Non-Profit-Association Visiones and the in Spain based Retreat Center Cinco Lunas.
For over 25 years, Selva has been a guide on the path of self-awareness and personal development. As a breath and meditation trainer, transformation, life and soul coach, shamanic consultant and medicine woman, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work.
She has traveled the world, learning from teachers and masters in India, Poland, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and South America. She has also studied at both traditional and alternative institutions, gaining a deep understanding of various healing modalities. Her practical experience includes facilitating group workshops, women circles, music circles, rituals and healing ceremonies, sweat lodge ceremonies, vision quest and individual sessions.
She holds a degree in cultural anthropology, where her passion for shamanic traditions began. Furthering her education, she completed postgraduate studies in Process Psychology and a shamanic school under the guidance of Arvick Baghramian and Daan Van Kampenhout.
Her approach helps individuals reconnect with lost powers and visions, awaken their inner potential, establish a deep connection with their soul and spiritual guides. She supports people on their journey of transformation, healing, and achieving personal wholeness.
Sanken Tsoma (born 1979 in Germany) has been devoted to the path of sacred plant medicine and shamanic healing for over 12 years. His journey has been shaped by intensive, ongoing work with a wide range of plant medicines and shamanic practices from both the Amazon and Europe.
Through deep study in various Master Plant Dietas, he was initiated by teachers from both the Shipibo-Conibo and Q'ero-Inca traditions, receiving profound insights into the art of healing with plant spirits and energies. His main teachers include the Shipibo Maestro Inkanima from the Peruvian Amazon and Don Eduardo Chura Apaza, a Q’ero healer from the Inca lineage in the Andes. In 2017, he was honored to receive the Shipibo medicine name “Sanken Tsoma” from Maestro Inkanima, along with the initiation from both of his teachers to share this sacred work with the world.
He is strongly connected to the Inkanima lineage of the Shipibo tradition and is spiritually guided by the ancestral forces of this lineage - Abuelo Inkanima and Abuela Ronin Wesna - from the non-physical realms.
Since 2013, he has been co-creating and facilitating plant medicine retreats across Europe together with Metsa Yaka. In 2015, they co-founded the School of Mysteries, which served as the platform for their retreats until 2019. That year, they established Visiones, a non-profit association that now forms the foundation of their work.
Since 2017, Sanken Tsoma has been residing in Andalusia, Spain, where he has continued to deepen his plant medicine journey. In 2024, together with Metsa Yaka, he co-founded a dedicated retreat center in Andalusia focused on transformational healing.
Following a deep inner calling, he has dedicated this lifetime to his own healing, growth, and liberation. His mission is to support others on their journey of inner healing, personal and spiritual development, and profound transformation. With a big heart, he serves as a channel for the transformative energies of the sacred plants.
He creates spaces for healing – both on an energetic level through retreats, ceremonies and treatments, and on a physical level through the creation of a retreat center devoted to this sacred work.

“By healing our traumas and embracing our fragmented parts with love, we weave ourselves back into the ever-present wholeness within.
In harmonizing our feminine and masculine essence, we transcend the dance of duality and return to union.”
What awaits you is a sacred, conscious and loving space, where you can release all that no longer serves you, heal the wounds that still linger within and emerge with clarity and deeper connection.
Dive with us into the realms of powerful Teacher Plants sacred allies that guide us on our healing journey with their elevated consciousness, love and purifying energy.
Through Shamanic Drumming Journeys, we will open a gateway to the spirit world and deepen our connection to the Self and all that is.

When the whisper of your heart reminding you that there is so much more waiting to be lived,
when the quiet voice within begins to rise, calling you into self-responsibility, into healing, into the power of your true being…
Then you’re ready to embody your strength and claim your place in this world – the Path is open.
Now more than ever, the world needs the Love, Presence & Wisdom of empowered Women.

Plant Medicine Ceremony
In these Plant Ceremonies you are connecting with powerful Spirits of the sacred healing plants from the Peruvian Amanzon.
By drinking the sacred and powerful Medicine you enter the worlds of the Master Plants, which enable you to work on a higher level of consciousness and experience profound healing, purification and transformation on a physical, psychological, emotional, energetical and spiritual level.
This potent Medicine can heal traumata, transform old patterns and removes blockages from – not only this lifetime – in a profound way.
The Plant Spirits are opening you up to your inner truth, connecting you to your higher self, a deeper understanding and the blessings of life.
Through the integration of the teachings and the wisdom of the Plants, this can be the starting point to change your life and live it in full potential.
It is also possible to take part in the ceremonies without drinking the medicine.

Cacao Medicine & Breathwork
Cacao Ceremonies originated all the way back to the ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions of Central and South America, where the spirit of Cacao, known as Mama Cacao, was honored and invoked in sacred ceremonies.
Her medicine was revered for opening the heart, bringing clarity, restoring inner harmony and connecting us to the wellspring of our creativity. The heart-opening essence of Cacao has the power to unlock states of pure euphoria, releasing emotions long held within. It invites us to connect with our higher Self, our inner wisdom and the loving energy flowing through our bodies, while gently calming the mind.
For centuries, Cacao has been used as a sacred tool for healing the mental, physical, and spiritual body.
Through “Conscious Connected Breathing“, we transcend the limitations of the mind, increasing the flow of oxygen to the brain and throughout the bloodstream.
This breath activates our neural pathways and releases hormones such as Anandamides, often called the “Bliss Hormones”, guiding us into a space of profound peace. From this place of connection and relaxation, stress, anxiety and repressed emotions can be released and our awareness and creativity are heightened. In the stillness, we come into a deep sense of inner peace, love and compassion, allowing our true being to emerge.
The sacred Medicines of Cacao and Breath are a powerful combination, leading us into deep layers of healing and transformation, guiding us to a place of greater clarity, authenticity and profound connection.
„Our breathing is the direct connection to pure consciousness.“

Rapé Ceremony
Rapé (pronounced Hapee) is a sacred plant medicine, revered for its profound healing, purifying, and centering properties. For centuries, it has been used by indigenous tribes in Brazil, such as the Huni Kuin, Yawanawa and Nukini, as a tool for spiritual awakening and deep inner transformation. The indigenous peoples often sought Rapé before going out on a hunt, as a way to connect with the spirit of the animal, seeking allowance, guidance and harmony with the natural world.
Rapé is a finely ground mixture of Mapacho tobacco, combined with ash and other medicinal plants. It is ceremonially blown into the nose through a bamboo tube known as a Tepi. This powerful medicine works on both the physical and energetic levels, cleansing the body, clearing the mind, and purifying the consciousness. It opens the heart, calms the mental chatter, and clears the pineal gland, allowing for deeper spiritual connection and clarity. Rapé is especially effective in supporting focus and concentration, making it an invaluable ally for meditation and introspection.
It is often shared before or during ceremonies, creating a sacred space of focus and presence or in a more elaborate individual ceremony.

Transformative Shamanic Drumming Journey
A powerful method for self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth.
Shamanic journeying is a time-honored practice originating from indigenous cultures around the world. For thousands of years, shamans have used rhythmic drumming to enter altered states of consciousness, allowing them to connect with the spirit world for guidance, healing, and insight. This practice is a bridge to the extraordinary, where profound wisdom and healing await.
The Journey is led by the steady beat of a drum, echoing the heartbeat of the Earth and our own heart. This rhythm guides us into a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness, opening the door to the mystical realms.
In these magical realms, you will meet your guardian spirit, spirit animals, wise ancestors, healers and teachers offering wisdom, protection, and healing.
These encounters can provide deep insights and answers to your most profound questions.

Womb Ceremony
This sacred Ceremony invites you to reconnect with your feminine essence and honor your womb as a source of creativity, healing, and inner wisdom.
Through the heart-opening Medicine of Cacao, the nurturing practice of Yoni Steaming and guided Ceremony, you are supported in releasing past imprints, old wounds, stagnant energies and emotional blockages – reclaiming your divine energy.
It is a gentle yet powerful journey of self-love, healing and inner empowerment.

Yoni Steaming
An ancient ritual with roots in Africa and Asia, Yoni Steaming honors the feminine body and reconnects you with your inner wisdom and natural rhythms.
Through the gentle steam of carefully chosen herbs, it supports physical healing, releases blocked energies and restores balance.
Beyond the body, it is a sacred space to nurture self-love, awaken creativity, and reclaim your vital energy. A practice of reflection, empowerment and deep connection to your feminine essence.

Process and Integration Work
Integration is the heart of transformation, allowing you to embody and manifest the insights and healing you’ve received into your everyday life.
It occurs when the experiences gained on an energetic, emotional, and physical level are brought into conscious awareness, allowing them to take root and bring lasting change.
To support you on this journey, we will implement different elements and practices, intuitively chosen, to guide you towards self-empowerment. Breathwork, Trauma Healing, Bodywork, Shadow Work, Emotional Release, Inner Child Healing, and Inquiry are just some of the ways we will accompany you, helping you to fully integrate and embody your process with trust and strength.
