About this Retreat
Amina Tezcatlahuilli is an integrative therapist and a guide in sacred plant medicine journeys, walking the path of healing for more than 20 years. Her life has been shaped by a profound devotion to the ancestral ways, to the spirit of the plants, and to the awakening of human consciousness.
Her medicine emerges from a place of deep listening, presence, and embodied wisdom — a weaving of ancient traditions with a grounded therapeutic understanding.
Throughout her journey, Amina has accompanied hundreds of people in Ayahuasca ceremonies, participated in traditional Amazonian dietas, and worked intimately with master plants such as Wachuma, Chuchuwasi, Bobinsana, Noya Rao, and others.
She is also a practicing Kambo facilitator, carrying this medicine with respect, discipline, and a clear ethical foundation. Her work bridges the ancestral with the contemporary, creating a space where healing becomes both mystical and practical, spiritual and embodied.
Although her academic background began in accounting, law, and international business, her true calling for healing awakened in childhood. Over the years, she has integrated her intellectual formation with fieldwork, traditional studies, and formal certifications in native medicine and therapeutic modalities.
Her path reflects a rare synthesis: the clarity of the mind, the sensitivity of the heart, and the wisdom of lived experience.
Amina is trained in psychedelic‑assisted psychotherapy, holds a Master’s in Integral Psychotherapy (University of Salamanca), and has completed extensive training in yoga and somatic practices, including:
• 200‑hour Ashtanga Yoga TT
• 200‑ and 500‑hour Dharma Yoga TTs
• Therapeutic acrobatics TT
• Conscious Connected Breathwork training
• Multiple studies in therapeutic and energetic massage acquired in Asia
Her experience spans more than 800 ceremonies, dietas, and retreats across the Amazon and other parts of the world. Through this immersion, she has cultivated a deeply embodied understanding of how ancestral medicine and modern therapeutic frameworks can work together to support profound transformation.
Amina is also a Moon Dancer for more than 15 years, a temazcalera, facilitator of women’s circles, and practitioner of biomagnetism, Eastern energetic massage, and mind‑body‑spirit therapies.
Her medicine is not only in what she knows, but in how she is — expressed through her guiding words, her silence, her presence, her joy, and her ability to hold others with compassion and clarity.
She walks this path with humility and devotion, honoring the elders, the plants, and the sacred responsibility of guiding others through their healing.
Her work is a prayer for awakening, a bridge between worlds, and an invitation for each person to remember the wisdom that already lives within them.
Devi Chandra Ma is a Mexican healer and curandera who has walked the Sacred Path of Power Plants for more than 23 years. Her life is a prayer in motion — a continuous offering of service, devotion, and love for humanity and Pachamama.
As a Medicine Woman, mother of three, and devoted student of the teachings of Saint Germain, Devi embodies the union between ancestral wisdom and the path of spiritual mastery. Her presence carries the softness of the Divine Mother and the strength of the ancient lineages she represents.
Initiated in multiple traditions, Devi is a Reiki Master and Fire Guardian in the Temazcalli lineage. She guides Ayahuasca ceremonies, Cacao Ceremonies, Women’s Circles, Rapé rituals, and Toad Medicine Ceremonies, always honoring the sacredness of each medicine and the responsibility that comes with carrying them.
Her work is rooted in humility, prayer, and the understanding that true healing arises when the heart opens and remembers its original purity.
For more than two decades, Devi has walked alongside respected shamans and elders from Amazonia and Mexico, receiving teachings through dietas, ceremonies, and years of service. Her path has been shaped by silence, discipline, surrender, and a profound communion with the spirit of the plants.
She carries these teachings with reverence, offering them only in spaces where safety, integrity, and respect for the lineages are upheld.
Her voice is one of her deepest medicines.
Her songs are living prayers, woven from the threads of her devotion — melodies that open portals, soothe the soul, and guide the spirit back to its essence. When she sings, she becomes a bridge between Heaven and Earth, allowing the medicine of the Divine Mother to flow through her as a blessing for all who listen.
Her latest album is a prayer for humanity, a call to remember peace, unity, and the sacredness of life. It is an offering to awaken love and harmony within every heart, a reminder that healing is possible when we return to the truth of who we are.
Devi walks this path not as a title, but as a living commitment — a vow to serve the light, to honor the ancestors, and to support each being in remembering their own inner medicine.
Her presence in ceremony is a sanctuary: a space where the ancient and the celestial meet, where the plants speak, and where the soul remembers its original song.

About Great Mother Aya
Aya is a sacred Amazonian medicine traditionally used by Indigenous peoples for healing, spiritual insight, and connection with the natural and spiritual worlds.
This medicine is prepared from two master plants—the Aya vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and the Chacruna leaf (Psychotria viridis)—whose combination opens a profound visionary and introspective experience.
For centuries, Aya has been used to:
• Cleanse the body, mind, and energetic field
• Heal emotional wounds and trauma
• Receive spiritual guidance and clarity
• Reconnect with nature and ancestral wisdom
• Expand consciousness and deepen self‑understanding
In ceremonial context, Aya is considered a teacher plant, guiding participants through a process of inner exploration, healing, and transformation.
Its effects can be strong and deeply meaningful, which is why it must always be served within a safe, ethical, and culturally respectful ceremonial container.
At Prana Foundation, Aya is offered in alignment with:
• Traditional ceremonial protocols
• Respect for the medicine’s cultural origins
• Experienced curanderas who hold the energetic field
• A trained support team
• Integration practices that help ground insights into daily life
Prana Foundation is connected with Indigenous tribes and traditional lineages who work with Aya in an ancestral and ethical way. Through these relationships, we receive the medicine directly from its original guardians, ensuring that the healing we bring to Europe remains authentic, culturally rooted, and aligned with the highest integrity.
