About this Retreat
Taita Jesus is of Inga descent, born and raised in the Mocoa region of Putumayo. Through synchronicity, he met Shani (facilitator) through the healing of a serious snake bite, through saving her life they became lifelong friends.
He learnt about plant medicine and therapies from a young age via his mum who was a respected healer. Later, at the age of 13 he started learning through his brothers who all work with the Master Plants and follow a shamanic Inga lineage. It is from ceremonies he also gained his love of music and learnt to play the guitar.
He has a wealth of experience and knowledge that accompany him on this path and to guide you through the processes. He works with Yage but various other plants and treatments for a range of different conditions.
Shani's journey into healing started through a breakthrough experience at the young age of 17. Through this she gained an interest in meditation and Yoga from which she has practiced steadily since 19 years old. She was also gifted at the age of 20 her first Reiki attunement from a renowned healer in the UK which led on to her further attunements and status as a Reiki Master.
At the age of 21, straight after finishing studies in Law, she travelled to South Africa where she had her first experience with sacred plant medicines. Something which she says changed her life path forever and feels constantly grateful for that experience which led her to this place today. She then went to India searching for tools for self realization and kundalini awakening. During that time she lived in various ashrams and under different Yogic masters learning Hatha Yoga and the philosophy behind it.
After returning to the UK, she quickly realised that she felt more alive being nomadic and left again on a quest for a way to live in a more sustainable way and aligned with her passion for healing.
This led to many years in North, Central and South America discovering and training in different healing modalities, therapies and sacred plant medicines. It was in 2017 that the vision of Rumi Wasi was born with her partner, and they began living in the jungle to practice a Yogic way of life and be closer to the sacred plants. Eventually they have decided to share this space and the practices they have cultivated with others.
Currently she is trained in 200 hr YA Kaula Tantra Yoga, 100 hr YA Kaula Tantra Yoga, Reiki Master, Thai Massage, Angel Channelling, Karuna Ki Reiki, is a Women Circle Facilitator and Cacao Ceremony Leader. Currently she is in the process of completing an MA in Clinical Neuropsychology and Neuroeducation
My name is Jefferson. I was born in Sopo, Cundinamarca, and spent my childhood growing up around the ancestral towns of Tunja, Tenjo, Tabio, Chía, Zipaquirá, and the lakes of Guatavita and Teusacá—home of the indigenous group of peoples known as the Muisca. The mountains always provided me with places to contemplate and meditate during childhood. My teenage years were in Bogota were I studied performance arts at Art School; learning about freedom of expression and the innate capacity we all have inside to be artists.
At 22 years of age, I set out to travel through South America to deepen my spiritual experience and explore other cultures and knowledge. Following the route of the condor, I found the whole Universe in its diversity of colors and textures. From the Andean cultures filled with gods and spiritual richness to the strong Mapuches, the Pacific coast filled with different ancestral roots and practices, and the powerful Amazonian jungle and the practices of its inhabitants.
These travels lasted four years and inspired in me a deep interest and yearning to continue on the medicine path. So, I embarked on a journey of discovery through Central America to learn more about the Nahuals, Mayas, Aztecs, Huichol, and Mexicas. A new cosmovision this time, following the path of the Quetzal and Hummingbird for several years.
During that time, I reconnected with Yoga on a more profound level. It became part of my process of medicine. I studied and completed my first teacher training in Oaxaca while living long-term in the Hridaya Yoga Community. From there, I started my teaching practice in a plant medicine center, Sinchi Runa, which was one of the most precious moments of my life. There, I also assisted in the ceremonies and processes of healing. This center was based in the Guatemalan jungle and focused on rehabilitation from substances and other mental issues through plants and spiritual practices. It was a beautiful experience to be part of something that helped change the lives of so many people in an impactful way.
When the time came to depart from that chapter of my life, I quickly met my life partner and wife. We both shared a vision for living a natural way of life connected to the medicine path, and from there, Rumi Wasi Kuna Pungo was born.
Since this time I have undertaken another Yoga Teacher Training under the House of Om. I have also studied Biomagnetic therapy. My passion for music has also always followed me throughout life and at Rumi Wasi I offer sound healing sessions through sacred instruments; some of which are handmade by myself. I look forward to sharing this with you.
