About this Retreat
Your Guides
My name is Engels, and I am a dedicated Psychedelic Therapy Facilitator. My path in this work is rooted in a deep belief that within each of us lies an innate capacity for healing, wisdom, and wholeness.
I specialize in creating a safe, compassionate, and grounded container for your journey with sacred plant medicines like Ayahuasca. My approach is holistic, weaving together my training in somatic therapy, transpersonal psychology, and trauma care with a profound respect for indigenous traditions.
My role is not to guide your journey but to guide you through it—to help you navigate the landscapes of your own consciousness with confidence. I am here to offer unwavering support, to help you integrate your insights, and to honor the profound courage it takes to embark on this path of self-discovery.
My deepest honor has been to walk alongside respected Maestros in your ceremonies, supporting the sacred container. This profound experience has taught me that the true magic lies in witnessing an individual's courageous journey back to their own essence. It is a privilege to be a part of that process—to see someone release what no longer serves them and step into a life illuminated with clarity, purpose, and vibrant vitality.
I am here to hold space for your transformation.
Details of this retreat
For those seeking profound, lasting transformation through a more extensive container.
Your 7-Day Journey Includes All 5-Day Offerings, Plus: The Sacred Island
Welcome to Ometepe, more than a destination, it is a living, breathing sanctuary. Largest island in a freshwater lake in the world, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Born from the elemental union of two volcanoes rising from the vastness of Lake Nicaragua, this island has been a place of pilgrimage and power for millennia.
Ometepe’s spirit is one of profound duality and harmony: the fierce, ascending energy of Volcán Concepción (Fire) meets the deep, receptive wisdom of Volcán Maderas (Water).
This unique geology creates a natural container for transformation.
Ancient peoples recognized this sacred power, leaving over 1,700 petroglyphs as eternal whispers in stone.
Today, a thriving community of guardians, farmers, and healers nurtures this energy.
For your journey with Sacred and Vital, Ometepe is not merely a backdrop.
It is an active participant in your healing, a timeless landscape where the elements guide you to release, ground, and ascend.

Getting Here
Sacred and Vital, Ometepe, Nicaragua
Directions
At Sacred and Vital, your journey begins the moment you land. We provide complimentary airport pickup from Managua and will transport you to the sanctuary: the lush Island retreat surrounded by tropical flora and flowing rivers, the serene beachfront location with water views and sea breezes, or the peaceful dry forest setting with unique wildlife and majestic landscapes. Your perfect healing environment awaits.
Accommodation
1. Private Bungalow (Limited availability) Privacy + integration space Step into your own peaceful sanctuary, thoughtfully designed for rest, reflection, and deep connection. Each retreat space includes a comfortable bed, private bathroom, and a small sitting area to enjoy moments of stillness. Wake with the gentle sounds of the jungle birds, rustling leaves, and the soft morning breeze inviting you into a day of inner reflection, mindfulness, and renewal. Whether journaling, meditating, or simply savoring a quiet cup of tea, this space is your private haven within nature. Pricing: The rate listed is per person, ensuring your comfort, privacy, and a truly restorative experience throughout your stay. 2. Shared Cabana A cozy twin-share room with two single beds, shared bathroom facilities nearby. Perfect for friends or solo travelers comfortable with community living. A big part of the healing and growth during this work is connection. Having someone you don't know become a friend by the end is often one of the most meaningful pieces of the experience. The shared cabana creates a supportive environment where both participants help each other integrate, stay grounded, and move through the process. We see it all the time: strangers arrive and end up forming deep bonds that become part of the medicine. The price listed is per person.
