About this Retreat
Josue found his path in life in the meeting of music, medicine and integration. His journey started as an apprentice during Ayahuasca retreats with a gifted Peruvian Medicine Woman. He soon was given the responsibility of holding ceremonies and retreats himself. His journey continued when he embraced the traditional Lakota Vision quest, a ritual of prayer, fasting and isolation in nature.
From the assimilation of these various experiences, the vision of Mundo Gente Medicina was born. A place where seekers can encounter these beautiful and different traditions and experience their medicines and healing tools. And as a gifted musician, Josue guides participants in their inner-work with music and song that supports the healing journey.
Josue also gives great importance to the process of INTEGRATION, where the powerful knowledge gained through the work with the medicine and tools can be assimilated into our daily life. Josue offers sacred medicine coaching so that participants can keep the teachings alive once they return home.
Ronit is a gifted Yoga and movement teacher and gently helps participants maximize the benefit of the plant medicines through conscious movement and breath work. Ronit also shares her knowledge of deep juice cleansing and other transforming detox tools.
As a dedicated Moon Dance practitioner, she practices this beautiful prayer ritual of the Mexican tradition. The Moon Dance gathers women from all over the world during the full moon. The sacred prayer dance is accompanied by the tobacco spirit and lasts four night while the men hold and protect the space. At Mundo Gente Medicina, Ronit shares with us the purifying Temazcal sweat lodge ceremony that is an integral part of the Moon Dance ceremony.
I sought refuge from a very early age in the quiet moments within a child pose held in a dark closet. I found freedom in losing my way in the forest. I’ve felt the vastness of diversity while floating upon the warm sea. I gained clarity from moments of silence that stretched for days and then years. I understand the shifting nature of a human mind. I’ve learned that nourishing and caring for my body, mind and soul is an obligation I accepted at birth.
I have formally immersed myself in the study and practice of Sankhya philosophy, Yoga, Ayurveda, Curanderismo, Mindfulness, Herbalism, Nurat Boran, Classical and Ecstatic Dance and Vipassana Meditation. I have led countless students through the practices I know to be helpful. I have guided numerous ceremonies honoring moments in lives that are all too fleeting. I’ve told a few of my stories to expose my vulnerability. I’ve danced with my darkest shadows and made them my friends.
I am experienced at curating and facilitating life changing experiences. I utilize ancient healing practices and modern science to bring truth to the surface of consciousness. Then with loving kindness and unconditional acceptance, I deny you the opportunity to return to your shadows. Then I’ll remind you how to play. I’ll remind you how to talk to the trees. I’ll remind you how to listen. I will listen to you. I will see you. I will understand your perspective.
Then I will slip back into the jungle and return to my personal path towards healing.
In the times of my own chaos, I have trained myself to extinguish my own voice to allow for the supreme self to be heard within the hum. When I truly listened. I know I am a lightning rod for chaos. When you cross my path, you are in the midst of a personal transition. We have been brought together to learn from each other.
Details of this retreat
Join us on this journey to self-awareness through sacred ceremonies guided by caring and experienced masters. Each day of this experience has been specially curated to provide support for the enlightenment of your lifetime.
This retreat is not for those merely interested in the experience of the sacred vines, but for those who are truly ready to face their shadows and engage with themselves on an inner-worldly level. This retreat also offers practices and meditations along with herbal baths and sweat lodge gatherings will help you prepare and integrate this intense introspective journey.
The tribe of leaders is a multi-ethic diverse partnership that brings a modern approach to these ancient practices . We come from Costa Rica, India, Israel and United States. We gather the first night for a gentle opening to help you land from the physical journey with a long grounding yin yoga practice with meditation.
Dinner follows with a bountiful spread of vegan delicacies specially created to support the plant medicine experiences.
The second day continues with grounding and anchoring in the environment to allow for intention to be very clear before we journey through the ether.
We will open and close the day with guided practices of mindful movement, breath work and mediation.
The meals are sequenced in honor of your bodies needs to digest this experience. No worries. Just eat.
On day three a feeling of reverence arrives as we make the final preparations through herbal baths and dedication of fasting with intention.
Then we surrender to the guidance of the leaders, sacred vines and listen to their songs.
The next day is dedicated to rest, recovery and reconciliation with the truths of the experience. A gentle day with gentle foods.
The fifth day we return to our mats and allow ourselves to receive the outpouring of benefits these journeys brought. We continue with mindful movement, breath work and meditation for integrating what we learn.
Day six we celebrate with a Cacao ceremony guided by Rosa from the BriBri nation.
Then we feast and dance with live local Caribbean music.
This retreat will feel like an eternity and a split second all at once. It’s awesome. It’s powerful.
