About this Retreat
Trained in Zen Buddhism and Eastern philosophy since my adolescence, in my youth I followed the path of shamanism that led me to the knowledge of the Master Plants and their wisdom.
Through my personal process of awareness and liberation, I was able to walk a path in which I became coherent with my Being. And through this knowledge I can share today a work of healing and consciousness.
My purpose is to accompany people to rediscover themselves in order to live in harmony with themselves and with nature.
After a career in environmental NGOs, Vanessa’s journey brought her to ancestral medicines in 2015 and she has been coordinating and facilitating healing retreats since 2018.
An experienced medicine facilitator and yoga and meditation teacher, she enjoys bringing together healing modalities and philosophies in an open way of exploring healing for each soul who is present. Her approach is anchored in unconditionality, the return to trust and the movement from the head to the heart.
Vanessa is fully bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish
Her path begins in the world of music, with the VOICE as her primary instrument of transmission. Formal studies in Neuropathy lead her to expand her gaze to the urgent human need for healing and the importance of doing so through the elements of Nature. A holistic therapist, she is committed to delivering the messages of the natural world and its medicines: phytotherapy, evolutionary aroma therapy, floral therapies and gamo therapy.
Creator of sacred spaces and facilitator of sensory experiences, stimulating the resonance of the physical, psychic and vibrational body through the VOICE and sounds.

Details of this retreat
The purpose of this retreat is to become aware of the importance of letting go of the past, releasing what anchors us to old wounds and patterns that no longer serve us. Allowing us to open our hearts and minds to new experiences and opportunities.
In this sacred space, we will sow the seed of the present, the place where the future we are about to embark on will blossom.With deep intention and mindfulness, we will cultivate our aspirations, dreams and goals, nurturing them with love and gratitude. We will connect with the essence of our being, the source of inner wisdom that will guide us on the path that unfolds before us.
In the midst of stillness and contemplation, we will find the spiritual nourishment we need to feed our soul and forge a deeper connection with the universe. As we embrace this conscious retreat, we allow the light of awareness to illuminate our path, dispelling the shadows of the past and opening the door to a future full of possibilities.
May this retreat be a sacred act of self-discovery and transformation, a reminder that every moment is an opportunity for rebirth and growth. Together, let us release the past, sow the present, and light the way for the year ahead with hope and love.
All this accompanied by the wisdom of plants and ancestral knowledge, fusing it in an original and unique way with traditional and contemporary elements, such as yoga, meditation, bio-dance, constellations .... Allowing each moment to be spontaneous and fresh, to emerge from presence and awareness, leaving behind limiting patterns.
