About this Retreat
Juan Esteban’s work integrates over 15 years of shamanic wisdom and training from various indigenous cultures as well as formation as a psychologist, reiki master, and angel channeler. With all this knowledge, he has designed therapies to assist people in balancing feminine and masculine energy and uniting heaven and earth in the heart chakra, opening the frequency of the heart and entering into a conscious relationship with spirit and manifestation.
Juan uses the vibrational medicine of heaven and the angels (Reiki and angel channeling) combined with the medicine of the earth (namely Yopo) to aid these processes and to elevate spiritual consciousness.
He shares his therapies on his land, where he lives with his wife and children, and also offers online courses.

Details of this retreat
In this course we will learn to reconnect with the wisdom of Mother Earth, the
ancestors and the elements through various techniques such as: mantras, body postures, symbols, songs, power objects, the medicine wheel, etc. We will learn from various ancestral cultures of America (Lakota, Embera, Muisca, Wiwa, Matse) and Asia (Taoism).
The elemental forces are responsible for the manifestation of spirit on planet earth.
By recognizing ourselves as beings of the earth and as part of a great and unique planetary spirit, we will learn to love and respect all forms of life and to manifest our highest purposes of the heart in this existence.
We will learn to honor our own body, our emotions, thoughts, vital fire (spirit) and word as something sacred, because all the forces of the elements are in us. Using these forces of nature to heal ourselves, harmonize ourselves and manifest our dreams.
