Details of this retreat

When conscious women come together - their Medicine begins to flow and beautiful things are going to unfold.
We cordially invite you to our Women's Medicine Retreat in the beautiful nature of Andalusia - with the intention to reconnect with your soul purpose and to embody your potential.
Are you feeling that it is now about clearing and healing what is still in your way in order to bring your gifts into the world?
Maybe you are still looking for your soul's purpose in this life - for your fulfillment?
Maybe you are already on your heart's path and realize it is time for your next development step?
Would you like to reconnect deeply with yourself, your intuition to step in your very unique female empowerment?

If you're feeling the call within, you are welcome with all our hearts to go on a profound and transformative journey with us.
What you need to bring with you, is the willingness to confront you with yourself and the commitment to dive through your shadows to discover your gold.

The unique and challenging quality of time we find ourselves in right now, calls on us more than ever to reconnect deeply with ourselves, to listen to our soul and live our highest potential. To courageously find and walk our path of the heart and thereby create a life of joy and fulfillment.

This Retreat was created for all those women, who feel that this is exactly what is important for them right now and want to tap into their female empowerment.

Who are ready to heal themselves, step into their authentic strength and take their place in this world.

Because this is what the world needs now more than ever!

What awaits you is a protected, conscious, loving space in which you can let go of everything that no longer serves you, bring into healing what is still hurting in you in order to gain clarity and connection.

Together we´ll dive into the world of powerful Teacher Plants, which supports us on our healing journey with their high consciousness, love, light and purification abilities.

We'll have the chance to connect deeply with ourself and with Spirit in Shamanic Drumming Journeys.

Different elements of Process & Integration work will help you to put the experienced into context and embody it.

Let nature speak to you, recognize yourself in the mirror of the others and let us become quiet in order to listen and understand and become loud in order to free ourselves.

We are looking forward to have you with us to share a profound and amazing time together!

With love...    Metsa Yaka & Selva

Plant Medicine Ceremony

In these Plant Ceremonies you are connecting with powerful Spirits of the sacred healing plants from the Peruvian Amanzon.
By drinking the sacred and powerful Medicine you enter the worlds of the Master Plants, which enable you to work on a higher level of consciousness and experience profound healing, purification and transformation on a physical, psychological, emotional, energetical and spiritual level.
This potent Medicine can heal traumata, transform old patterns and removes blockages from – not only this lifetime – in a profound way.
The Plant Spirits are opening you up to your inner truth, connecting you to your higher self, a deeper understanding and the blessings of life.
Through the integration of the teachings and the wisdom of the Plants, this can be the starting point to change your life and live it in full potential.
It is also possible to take part in the ceremonies without drinking the medicine.

Cacao Medicine & Breathwork

Cacao Ceremonies are originated all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America. The spirit of Cacao – also called Mama Cacao – was worked with in spiritual ceremonies to open up the heart, to bring clarity, inner harmony and to connect to ones creativity.
The heart opening Medicine can unlock euphoric states, release emotions and enabels you to connect to our Higher Self, our wisdom within, the loving energy in our body and will also calm the mind. Cacao has been used for centuries to heal the mental, physical and spiritual body.
Through Conscious Connected Breathing, we can overcome the barriers of the mind and increase the oxygen supply in the brain and in the entire bloodstream. The neuralogical network is stimulated and hormones are released, among others, Anandamides – also known as the “Bliss Hormone”.
From a state of connection, emotions, stress and anxiety can be released, our own awareness and creativity are increased and we come into a feeling of inner peace, love and compassion. Our deeper truth can be revealed.
The Medicine of Cacao and the Medicine of our own Breath is an incredibly powerful combination, allowing us to delve deeply into our process.
“Our breathing is the direct connection to pure consciousness.”

Rapé Sharings

Rapé (pronounced Hapee) is a sacred and powerful plant medicine with deep healing, purifying and centering qualities which has been used for centuries by Brazilian indigenous tribes such as the Huni Kuin, Yawanawa and Nukini.
The Rapé is a powdered mixture made from finely ground Mapacho tobacco and ingredients or ash from various medicinal plants and it´s blown into the nose through a bamboo tube (Tepi). It cleans physically & energetically, it heals, opens the heart, centers the mind, clears the consciousness and cleans the pineal gland. Rapé is very good to focus and to maintain better concentration during meditation.
The Rapé ceremony which is held by Sanken Tsoma is divided into three Rapé sharings with three different themes:
Spirit/mind – body – heart
In the last part of the ceremony the eye drops medicine Sananga is shared. Sananga, the so called “Queen of the forest“ is also a very powerful medicine made from the root and bark of the Tabernaemontana undulate shrub. Dripped into the eyes, which are the windows of the soul, it can thus heal on the physical as well as on the spiritual level.

Transformative Shamanic Drumming Journey

A powerful method for self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth.
Shamanic journeying is a time-honored practice originating from indigenous cultures around the world. For thousands of years, shamans have used rhythmic drumming to enter altered states of consciousness, allowing them to connect with the spirit world for guidance, healing, and insight. This practice is a bridge to the extraordinary, where profound wisdom and healing await.
The Journey is led by the steady beat of a drum, echoing the heartbeat of the Earth and our own heart. This rhythm guides us into a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness, opening the door to the mystical realms.
In these magical realms, you will meet your guardian spirit, spirit animals, wise ancestors, healers and teachers offering wisdom, protection, and healing.
These encounters can provide deep insights and answers to your most profound questions.

Process and Integration Work
The Integration is the most important element to embody and manifest what you have experienced in your daily life.
Integration happens when experiences you made on an energetical, emotional and physical level, are brought into consciousness.
We will compliment your process with different tools and exercises to enable you to accomplish your process with self empowerment. Breathwork, Trauma Work, Body Work, Shadow Work, Emotional Release, Inner Child Work, Inquiry Work are a few elements which we incorporate intuitively.

Unbelievable
I have never had the experience with that medicine. I was skeptical and beeing honest, also afraid of taking it. But my curiosity was bigger than my anxiety. So I was doing it.
Why did I gave only 5 stars? You would not believe me if you are a sceptical Person like me.

Yes the first night was not that nice. Being honest I felt horrible. I wanted to give up. WHY? I couldn't accept what I was seeing about my current situation.
But I have known it before. The plants strengthen my knowledge.
What I have learned at the first night was:
It doesn't matter what's happening. When we accept it's getting easier to let go. It's only about emotions.

Can you imagine this I wanted to quit...
But I booked 3 days. The team and the participants convinced me to stay.
As a matter of fact they were right.
The next days were better. They gave me more understanding for myself, my past and also about inner peace. Now it is time to integrate my learnings.
It was good that I made that experience. It helped me also to find peace.
Yes every experience is unique. So like every human is.

I would do it again. 😉
