About the Teacher
Why study with them?
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.
