About this Retreat
Your Guides
Hola, I'm Ixchel
I’m a mother, medicine woman, dancer, musician, spiritual midwife, facilitator, mentor, community builder, permaculturist and eternal optimist. I am the co-founder of Yacumama eco-village in Costa Rica, Chakya Muna an artist community in Bali and Living Wisdom.
For the past 30 years I have been on the path of self enquiry with the support of yoga & psychedelics and in the past 2 decades plant medicines. I have received such profound gifts from the master plants of Ayahuasca and Huachuma for the past 20 years, that for the past 9 years I have been dedicated to sharing ceremonial retreats and keeping indigenous wisdom alive. I am forever a humble student of the ancient ways.
My life is dedicated to the liberation of all beings, to the remembrance of our divinity, to the embodiment of our full potential. My passions are creating immersive experiences of devotion, authenticity, liberation and integration programs.
I bring the fierce unconditional love of the divine mother to hold you through anything that may arise. I am a committed for your return to wholeness to be a journey of grace, joy and fun!
