About this Retreat
Cecile is a dedicated psychedelic activist with over a 10 years of involment in the field of psychedelic therapy and research.
Extensive personal exploration with mushrooms and Ayahuasca gradually taught her to leave the realm of the mind and enter that of the heart, to go from seeking transcendance to embodying loving presence, and to live a life of service and community. Plant medicine has helped Cecile to come to terms with a rare genetic condition she was born with, to recover from depression and anxiety and to cultivate a passion for life and for fulfilling relationships with others. It is from this embodied place of self-healing that she holds space for others.
Cecile holds a Bsc in Neuroscence from King’s College London and a Masters in Public Health from Charite Medical University in Berlin, and is currently starting a Phd Project researching the integration of plant medicine into an indigenous mental health clinic in Mexico. Her experience spans 10 years of psychedelic activism, practice and research, collaborating with established institutions, indigenous practicionners and at the community level.
From receiving her foundational training in psilocybin therapy in the Netherlands with Truffles Therapy in 2019, to 5 years of research work with the Takiwasi center, an ayahuasca addiction treatment clinic in Peru, and to an ongoing mentorship relationship with the Nierika Intercultural Medicine center in Mexico and to volunteering in psychedelic emergency care in festivals with Kosmicare, Cecile has a thirst for knowledge and is perpetually learning to improve her practice and support the causes she believes in. She has also published research on Ayahuasca and Amazonian medicine and teaches about psychedelic therapy in Charité University on the Alcohol and Substance Use disorder programme.
She coordinates the group and private retreat programmes in Coração Medicina with her experience spanning caring for people in hundreds of mushroom journeys over the last four years.
Cecile has sat in many dozens of ceremonies, went on self led vision quests and maintains a regular meditation practice. She strives to embody the qualities and values that the medicines has brought to her life: responsability, reciprocity, compassion and harmony with the natural world.
A firm believer in giving access to heartfelt, professional and affordable psychedelic experiences to those who may benefit from them, she founded Coração Medicina with a vision of service, love, and connection.
Susy Nana is a certified breathwork facilitator and Womb awakening guide. Originally born in Czech Republic and now living in Portugal, her own quest for healing and growth took her to study breathwork facilitation with the international school Alchemy of Breath. The profound healing of traumas that she experienced through this breathwork practice led her to feel called to dedicate herself life to learn the ways of the womb, the center of life, where it all begins.
An avid learner, Susy is as dedicated in accumulating evidence-based knowledge on the anatomy and physiology of the womb as she is to refine her intuitive connection to this portal of life. She is a certified holistic pelvic health facilitaror, Bach flowers remedy practicionner, having studies at Dr. Bach's center in the UK, and followed a thorough mentoship programme in womb work with Rebecca Ann Wilson. She continues to follow courses and training in this vast field, while offering consultations in Womb Wisdom to the world and has given dozens of workshops internationally.
In her womb counselling practice, Susy works with diverse profiles, from women with cancer, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, endometriosis and women struggling with fertility, miscarriage and abortions, to many who simply feel called to reawaken and heal their connection to their womb. Starting with specialist practical advice on health and well-being, Susy's services go further by offering women a way to establish a felt connection to the womb and the female body. She invites women to feel into their physical and energy body through shamanic tools and embodiement practices ranging from breathwork, intuitive movement, plant medicines, spirit animals and self-empowered bodywork.
Susy is proud to share that through her counselling practice she has already supported women in bringing more than ten babies to this world, and that hundreds have benefited from learning to reconnect to their innate womb wisdom. She is honoured to offer support and guidance on this ancient path of deep rememberance of our feminine essence and the magic of life, holding space with diligence, grace and a lot of love.
