About this Retreat
Your Guides
Juan Manuel, the Grandfather of our Ancestral family, known as 'El Indio', he upholds the ancestral traditions of Anáhuak with deep respect and passion.
Born on the slopes of Iztaccihuatl, the 'sleeping woman,' Juan has devoted his life to preserving and sharing the worldview of our ancient peoples.
A warrior of the red path and a humble servant of great wisdom, Juan Manuel is a revered figure who channels energy through his work. He has led hundreds of ceremonies and rituals across various countries and numerous Mexican states, and is a skilled temazcalero and custodian of sacred medicines.
El Indio Juan brings mysticism, authenticity, and unforgettable magic to every workshop, enriching participants' understanding of Mexico's rich traditions and cultural heritage.
His leadership ensures that each session is not just educational, but a transformative journey into ancestral wisdom.
Rubi, esteemed as both a Sahumadora and prayer leader, plays a pivotal role in our ceremonies. In our tradition, the woman is revered as the bearer of the fire, tasked with preserving the harmony of the gathering.
Rubi fulfills this sacred duty by skillfully using copal, singing, and praying to maintain the ceremonial balance. Her support for Grandfather Juan during these rites is crucial, as it helps to stabilize and harmonize the energy within the space.
A custodian of our ancestral practices, Rubi is not only a guardian of our traditions but also an active promoter of our cultural heritage. Despite her youth, she carries the wisdom and spirit of a grandmother, embodying the traits of a medicine woman.
Her dedication and spiritual guidance make her an invaluable member of our community, inspiring both respect and admiration from those who participate in our ceremonies.
Billie is a spiritual teacher and healer who has led thousands through transformative experiences, connecting the physical and spiritual realms. With her unique sensory abilities, she forges profound connections with both Earth and the Spirit World.
Overcoming early life struggles such as trauma and addiction, Billie found healing through yoga, meditation, and spirituality.
With decades of practice in Yoga, Meditation, Sound Healing, Reiki, and BioTuning, Billie also serves as a Compassionate Inquiry Therapist, Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapist, Shamanic Life Coach, Shamanic Reiki Master, and Certified Psychedelic Guide. She honors diverse spiritual traditions, having studied with respected figures like Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Dr. Gabor Mate.
Her greatest lessons come from her children, nature, particularly the Grandmother Tree, and spiritual guides. Known for authentic, compassionate teaching, Billie integrates meditation with self-inquiry therapies, making ancient wisdom accessible and relevant.
She promotes growth in physical and spiritual selves, emphasizing interconnectedness with the universe. Billie's work inspires personal freedom and deeper self-understanding.
Lorraine, with her extensive background as a life coach, group facilitator and 1:1 therapist in clinical counselling for over 30 years, is instrumental in ensuring the safe and supportive environment necessary for exploring and sharing the true song of your soul during our ceremony debriefs. Her deep understanding of the healing process is rooted in the belief that true healing, or a return to wholeness, occurs when individuals reconnect with their deepest selves.
This cathartic journey involves awakening to one’s full potential, healing old wounds, and recognizing one’s intrinsic worthiness. Plant medicine serves as a powerful catalyst in this process, providing a profound shift from conventional perceptions of reality and opening the door to transformative change. It enables participants to envision new possibilities for themselves, a vision that is essential for the process of healing to occur.
To facilitate the integration process, Lorraine offers crucial support through both group Integration Circles and private sessions. Her role is to enable the translation of insights gained during the medicine journey and throughout the retreat into practical changes in daily life, guiding participants towards a fuller understanding and embodiment of their experiences. She practices within the framework of mindful, body-based somatic regulation and resilience oriented, trauma informed compassionate engagement.
