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!
Details of this retreat
Harmonizing with the Forces of Nature; a Medicine & Music study of Afro-Brazilian Cosmology
Through drumming, sacred offerings, dance and healing practices, we will explore the divine realms within the Umbanda - Afro-Brazilian spirituality. These practices awaken and honor our highest nature, revealing the power and beauty of Umbanda.
Umbanda is a tradition that honors the interconnectedness of all beings with its spiritual practices centered around the worship of Orixás (African deities), spirits, and ancestors.
Each Orixá is associated with particular elements of nature, like water, fire, earth, air, and the sky, as well as specific aspects of human life, such as love, health, justice, and prosperity. The Orixás are embodiments of universal laws and energies that influence the material and spiritual worlds.
