About this Retreat
Of French and Peruvian origin, Manuela is a holistic practitioner focused on body–mind practices that cultivate self-awareness and energetic balance. Through yoga, sound healing, and multidimensional massage, she creates spaces for release and inner alignment. Her work is rooted in a long-standing relationship with sacred medicines. She divides her time between Europe and Latin America, where she hosts holistic retreats that weave together somatic practices, integrative modalities, sacred ceremonies, and immersion in nature.
Originally from Mexico, Mikaela is a trauma-informed somatic and emotional process guide with extensive experience working with plant medicine and shamanic practices for healing and transformation around the world. She is an energy channel, bridge-worker, and possibility facilitator devoted to holding deeply heart-centered spaces. From this place of profound care, she supports the emotional and somatic healing processes of individuals, groups, and communities.
Details of this retreat
Join us in the quiet landscapes of Andalusia for an intimate and immersive experience rooted in the therapeutic potential of psilocybin mushrooms, trauma-informed somatic guidance, and shamanic wisdom. Together, we'll move through a carefully held process of sacred ceremonies, somatic practices, sound healing, integration, and regeneration — in a place that naturally invites presence and depth.
The level of care offered in this retreat is rarely found in psychedelic spaces. From preparation, into ceremony, and through integration, a dedicated trauma-informed facilitator works individually with each participant — providing continuous, hands-on somatic and emotional support as the medicine moves through them. Combined with daily integration sessions and individual conversations, this active accompaniment creates conditions for emotional releases and breakthroughs that are rarely accessible in less supported settings.
To preserve this quality of attention, the group is limited to a maximum of 12 people. This intimacy, combined with a true digital detox and full immersion in the natural surroundings, creates a rare space of presence, real connection, and genuine inner work.
THE SACRED MEDICINES
Two psilocybin mushroom ceremonies form the heart of the retreat, each combining a full ceremonial dose with Syrian Rue — a powerful teacher plant to amplify, deepen, and prolong the inner journey.
Each ceremony is carefully prepared through workshops, yin yoga, and sound healing to help settle the body and mind and clarify intentions before the experience begins.
THE PROGRAM
Beyond the ceremonies, each day is woven with practices that support the whole arc of the experience. Somatic movement, breathwork, and meditation support nervous system regulation and emotional processing. Sound healing sessions and voice activation open channels for expression and release. Shamanic practices — energy channeling, chanting, and drumming — hold the energetic container. Holistic bodywork and individual somatic integration sessions are available for those seeking deeper personal support. Everything is designed not just to facilitate powerful experiences, but to ensure they land, integrate, and translate into lasting inner change.
IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?
This format is suitable both for people new to psilocybin and for those with prior experience seeking a more deeply held, therapeutically grounded container. A six-day program offers the ideal balance — enough time for meaningful preparation, deep ceremony work, and genuine integration, without the exhaustion of a longer retreat.
Please note that participation is not recommended for individuals with certain psychiatric conditions, pregnancy, epilepsy, serious cardiovascular conditions, or medications that may interact with the medicines. All participants complete a health and suitability screening before their place is confirmed.
