With over two decades of experience, Yvan is a skilled and compassionate osteopath and healer who brings exceptional expertise and care to his work. At the retreat, Yvan primarily works with osteopathic tools, including craniosacral, visceral (organ-related), and parietal (joint-related) osteopathy. Over the years, he has refined his ability to apply these techniques on various levels—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. His approach offers a deep, holistic experience, supporting clients on their path to healing and evolution in a way that honours the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Yvan has been working in the therapeutic field since 2001. He began his studies with Shiatsu before deciding to train as a medical masseur, which provided him with a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and various massage techniques, including reflexology.
In 2003, Yvan discovered osteopathy and pursued his studies at the Swiss College of Osteopathy. Since then, he has collaborated with doctors, dentists, and psychologists in a variety of clinical settings, gaining valuable experience and broadening his expertise across multiple disciplines.
In 2012, Yvan faced a significant health challenge when he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. While conventional medicine managed the initial inflammation, long-term treatments were limited to cortisone and immunosuppressants. This led him to take responsibility for his own health and delve deeper into understanding his illness.
Through favorable circumstances, Yvan met a Colombian shaman who worked with ayahuasca. With the support of these ceremonies and an intensive healing diet, he was able to restore his health. Since then, he has worked with many plant medicines and has participated in, led, and assisted with numerous ceremonies, witnessing remarkable healing in both himself and others. This profound experience ignited Yvan’s passion for sharing the wisdom of these special medicines with those seeking healing and deeper transformation.
Yvan will be at the retreat, providing daily specialist osteopathic healing. He will work closely with each guest, using a range of osteopathic techniques to achieve optimal outcomes, ensuring a deeply personalized and transformative experience.
Shiatsu & Sei Ki Practitioner | Qi Gong Instructor
With a deep-rooted passion for the healing arts, María’s journey began in the world of performing arts before she discovered the transformative power of Ki arts in 2004. Since then, she has devoted herself to exploring and sharing these ancient practices, weaving together movement, energy work, and deep listening.
María trained as a Shiatsu therapist at the European Shiatsu School, graduating in 2008, and has been part of the teaching faculty since 2011. Her path has been enriched by postgraduate studies with renowned teachers such as Carola Beresford, Nick Pole, Gill Hall, Diego Sánchez, and Patrizia Steffanini.
Her dedication to energy work led her to train as a Wudang Qi Gong teacher at the Confucius Institute and the University of Granada in 2009, followed by studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion at the Neijing School from 2010 to 2014. In 2017, María deepened her practice through Sei Ki seminars with Kyoko Kishi, Paul Lundberg, and Alice Whieldon. Most recently, she completed training in Ba Han Sheng style Qi Gong at the Neijing School (2020–2023).
Today, María offers Shiatsu treatments in the tranquil setting of her geodesic dome in the Monachil mountains of Granada. Her approach is both intuitive and grounded, creating a space where energy flows freely and balance is gently restored.
Eclectic Creator, Artisan, Plant Alchemist and wild soul
Sheila is a multidisciplinary creator and wild soul deeply connected to nature. After years of city life, she left urban living behind 12 years ago to immerse herself fully in the natural world. Since then, she has been actively involved in ecological, self-sufficient, and community-based projects, always in places where nature holds a strong presence.
Her journey has been one of deep learning—exploring the wisdom of plants, sustainability, and the everyday magic that weaves through life when in harmony with the land. Now based in the Alpujarras, she dedicates her time to craftsmanship, symbolic art, and plant alchemy.
Through her project, Alma Silvestre, she leads workshops on reconnecting with the land and reintegrating into natural cycles, helping others rediscover their bond with the rhythms of nature. The forest is her greatest source of inspiration—a place where textures, forms, and colours become a canvas for creativity, reflection, and healing.
At the Into the Light retreat, Sheila guides the San Juan ceremony, a ritual deeply rooted in ancestral traditions. As part of this, she leads a pilgrimage to collect the seven sacred waters and seven medicinal plants that form the heart of the ritual. This practice honours the land, the sun’s energy, and the cycles of renewal, offering a profound experience of connection with nature.
Sheila is also the creator of the wonderful Forest Folk featured on our website—handcrafted figures made from foraged natural materials that capture the magic of the wild.
Details of this retreat
Guided by the Sun, Held by the Earth, Awakened by the Fire, and Given Wings by the Air—Realign with the Magical Flow of Life
Step Into the Light of the Summer Solstice
As the sun reaches its peak, illuminating the longest day of the year, you are invited to a retreat unlike any other—a soulful gathering where earth, fire, water and air come together in harmony, guiding you back to your essence. Into the Light is more than a retreat; it is a portal to renewal, a space where ancient traditions and the raw power of nature merge to awaken something deep within you. High in the Alpujarra mountains, surrounded by untouched beauty, you will move through a unique alchemy of the Psilocybin mushroom ceremony, sacred San Juan ritual, holistic treatments and breath-infused movement—restoring balance, vitality, and a deep sense of connection. If you feel the call to release, realign and to move in rhythm with life’s natural flow, this journey is for you.
This retreat is more than just a journey—it is a passage through the cycles of nature and the wisdom they hold. The Summer Solstice is a mirror to the Winter Solstice, a sacred turning point where the sun reaches its peak, illuminating both what has come to fruition and what is still unfolding. It is a time of fire and water, of release and renewal, of stepping beyond the self and into deeper connection.
Central to this experience is the San Juan Ceremony, an ancient solstice ritual deeply rooted in fire, water, and the plant kingdom. As part of this tradition, we will gather the seven sacred waters and seven solar-aligned plants that will infuse the ceremony with their healing essence. One of the most ancient rites of this night is the leap over the fire—a symbolic act of leaving behind the old and stepping forward with clarity. As the flames rise, so does your intention. The waters cleanse and rejuvenate, preparing you for the next cycle. It's a time of release and renewal, of stepping beyond the self and into deeper connection.
Alongside this, a Psilocybin mushroom ceremony forms the heart of the retreat, offering a soulful, safe and supportive space for profound personal evolution. This deeply impactful experience invites you to explore your journey with intention, curiosity, and an open heart, accessing deeper layers of healing and self-discovery. It is a space to bring your intention to heal, to listen to your being, and to follow the wisdom within.
From personal intention to collective awareness, this is a moment to embrace your place within the greater system—to honour your own growth while recognising the deep interconnection of all things. From the first sunrise to the final solstice fire, every step of this journey invites you to shed the old, embrace the present and align with the powerful rhythm of the natural world. Read More

Schedule
A journey of Conscious Evolution
The retreat flows intuitively, adapting to the energy of the group and the moment. Here’s a glimpse of how your adventure could unfold:
Ascending to a Soulful Space
Your journey begins as we ascend 1,500 metres into the Alpujarra mountains, leaving the everyday world behind. By mid-afternoon, we arrive at our sanctuary above the clouds, where time slows, and nature welcomes you. The first evening is about settling in, setting intentions during the Opening Ceremony, and grounding with a guided meditation after a delicious dinner.
Day One: Settling into the Rhythm
The day begins with QiYoga, conscious breathing, and meditation, followed by a personalised treatment to support deep healing. A one-to-one breathing session helps regulate your nervous system, while forest bathing invites you to absorb the magic of the mountains. In the afternoon, a workshop explores the forest’s plants and their uses. The day ends with a nourishing dinner and a soothing meditation.
Day Two: Deepening the Experience
After morning practice and breakfast, your second treatment session deepens the healing process. In the afternoon, we gather water from sacred springs for the San Juan Ceremony. As the sun sets, we share an open discussion about psychedelics, preparing for the Psilocybin mushroom ceremony ahead.
Day Three: Psilocybin Mushroom Ceremony
The heart of the retreat begins with grounding practices and a healing Shiatsu session. The afternoon is a time for rest, reflection, or simply being, allowing you to prepare for the evening’s ceremony. As the sun sets, the Psilocybin mushroom ceremony begins—a safe, soulful journey guided by skilled facilitators, inviting profound self-discovery and inner wisdom.
Day Four: The San Juan Ceremony
The morning begins gently, allowing space to integrate the previous night’s experience. After grounding practices and breakfast, closing treatments help settle your journey into your body. In the afternoon, we gather flowers to combine with the sacred waters collected earlier, creating a powerful infusion for the evening’s ritual. The San Juan Ceremony brings the retreat to its peak with a ritual cleansing and the ancient fire-leaping tradition, releasing what no longer serves and welcoming new light.
Day Five: Returning with Light
The final morning begins with one last practice and a nourishing breakfast. As we descend the mountain, we pause to explore charming villages and enjoy a bit of eclectic shopping. Our time together closes by a gorgeous waterfall—a final moment of reflection, gratitude, and connection before stepping back into the world, carrying the light of this experience within you.
This retreat is a sacred space to relax, let go, and rediscover your limitless potential, leaving you aligned with the magic of your own Conscious Evolution.
