About this Retreat
Wind Malin Disse was born in Berlin, Germany. From the age of 3 years old he has been living in Ecuador with exception of a view years in Switzerland. He graduated as an Anthropology in Ecuador, and went to Germany for advanced studies as a Migration Manager. Besides Wind loves extreme sports and to play music as a DJ on festivals.
Wind´s path as an anthropologist, artist and Yoga Teacher leads him to be seen as a cultural mediator, a bridge between worlds. He has been teaching the traditional Kaula Tantra Yoga in many workshops. In 2020 he joined a teacher training in the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in the south India. In Durga’s Tiger School ® he teaches Applied Tantra Wisdom, Meditation and Psychology of Chakras beside Kaula Tantra Yoga and Shamanism. He is a certified Yoga Alliance and Yoga Alliance International Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) and one of the lead teachers of the Durga’s Tiger School ® Yoga Teacher Training.
Due to his deep interest in shamanism, he has contacted many shamans of the Amazon and Andean region of Ecuador, and worked with them to understand their traditions. From 2009 Wind has been invited to learn more about the shamanic tradition of the Cofán- A’i socio-culture and ended up being accepted as apprentice by the shaman Don Avelino Quenama.
Wind´s thesis as Anthropologist was about the theme: Orality, practices and symbols of the A´i shamanism, including the relation with visionary plants. Don Avelino gave him the authorization to do his own ceremonies with the yage medicine and share his knowledge.
Since then, Wind Malin Disse has attended and guided many shamanic ceremonies in order to keep on learning and help others to enter into a shamanic state of consciousness that allows shamanic healing.
Roberto Calderón was born in Quito, Ecuador. Roberto has always been looking for the all world´s ancient techniques of self-realization. He has practiced Zen and Vipassana Meditation, Hatha Yoga, Feng Shui, Reiky and Acupuncture since a very young age. His later studies included: Mesoamerican calendars, I Ching (Geomancy), and Classical Philosophy.
Roberto has done 3 Vision Quests so far in the “Camino Rojo” (Red Path); it is a shamanic tradition that arrived from North America over than 20 years ago to our country and it has an alternative design that mixes both South and North American ceremonies and sacred medicines. During the 7 years in which Roberto walked this shamanic path, he learned about the simplest but also most natural ways to prepare chocolate starting from the raw cocoa seeds.
In January of 2015 Roberto joined the CEIT the “Traditional Yogas` Studies Center”. This School has very ancient roots in the Tantric Yoga Traditions of southern India and was brought to us by European teachers who have more than 40 years of experience educating and giving yoga teacher´s degrees all around Europe based from their direct experience with Gurudji Thabovan and in coordination with the “Traditional Yogas` Federation in France”. This teachers´ formation lasts 3 years so Roberto is ready to share the original practice of this unstopped line of masters that can be traced back to Patanjali and his gift to the world: “The Yoga Sutras”.
A Lithuanian-born yogini, artist, and space holder, Migle carries a deep longing for truth and transformation. With roots in experimental filmmaking and a journey from depression to devotion, she has spent recent years immersed in embodiment practices, plant medicine, and spiritual integration. A graduate of Durga’s Tiger School, she now guides others through Kaula Tantra Yoga, Kali-Durga Embodiment Dance Rituals, and somatic integration of sacred medicine journeys. Migle brings a tender yet powerful feminine presence, rooted in love and deep service to the sacred and the feminine.
Migle has finished a 200H YTT in multi-style yoga and 500H YTT in Kaula Tantra Yoga at Durga’s Tiger School. She has been initiated into Reiki II. While living in the UK, she was able to gain a lot of experience from working in one of the biggest Yoga studios in London, a few years of volunteering in Ecstatic dances, as well as assisting in shamanic Women Circles. Migle also had a wonderful chance to deeply connect with the Cacao Spirit when she was learning in a transformational Cacao farm in the South of Ecuador.
In 2023 she arrived at Durga’s Tiger School where she discovered that there is a way to combine all of her favourite modalities – Shamanism, Tantra, Yoga and Arts. Now she has joined the team to manage social media and online content as well as to give classes and co-lead teacher trainings.
Migle’s path keeps evolving as she loves learning and growing and now is being trained in Kali Durga Dance Ritual from Shakta Tantra tradition and facilitating Somatic-psychology based integration of Plant Medicine ceremonies. She has also started assisting her husband Wind Disse in shamanic rituals and Power Plant ceremonies.

YAGË and YOGA: EMBODY YOUR NEW VISION
What if you could begin the year in complete and total alignment with your deepest Heart’s desires?
We invite you to step into the new year with clarity, connection, and embodied vision!
The Yagé & Yoga retreat is a sacred space for healing & transformation – a six-day immersive experience at Durga’s Tiger School on the sacred mountain of Ilaló, where ancestral shamanic wisdom meets eastern embodiment practices.
This retreat is a celebration of endings and beginnings. Through Kaula Tantra Yoga, shamanic plant medicine ceremonies, meditation and sacred embodiment rituals, we invite you to release what no longer serves, call in your highest vision, and anchor it deeply into your body and life.
Who is this for?
For seekers of conscious celebration spaces, lovers of the sacred, curious souls, and courageous hearts.
Whether you’re experienced or newly exploring this path, whether you’re coming alone, with a partner, or with friends, this is a space to celebrate New Year in a conscious, inspiring and uplifting way, to connect in community, and to welcome the New Year with intention, power and grace.
Yagé and Yoga
Yagé & Yoga – Embody Your New Vision is a sacred New Year retreat devoted to healing, transformation, clarity, and embodied vision. Over six days, we open a ceremonial space to shed the weight of the past year and step into a new cycle from a place of grounded intention, expanded awareness, and heart-centered power.
Rooted in the powerful synergy between Amazonian plant medicine and Tantra Yoga, this retreat invites you to reconnect with your essence through sacred Yagé / Ayahuasca ceremonies, Kaula Tantra Yoga, Dance Rituals, Meditations and group and personal integration. You’ll be guided through a slow, intentional, and body-based journey to remember your truth, anchor your vision, and awaken a deeper sense of purpose and presence.
Surrounded by the majestic Andes and the sacred volcano Ilaló, supported by the land, the medicine, the practices, and a loving community – this is a time to release, receive, and step into your new vision with power and trust.
Why Yagé and Yoga?
Yagé opens the inner eye to your spiritual vision. Yoga & Dance brings your vision into the body.
Through this powerful combination, you’ll not only receive insight – you’ll integrate it, embody it, and begin living from it. The retreat offers the sacred alchemy of the eagle and the condor, connecting masculine and feminine, joining mind, body and heart in harmony – yoking ancient wisdom and embodied presence.
Let your New Year begin with reverence. With truth. With inner power.
Embody Your New Vision.
