About this Retreat
Metsa Yaka was born in Germany in 1985. Since a very young age she felt drawn to the mystics of the Universe and started seeking for truth.
As she had her first Plant Medicine experience, she felt this old connection to the realm of the plants and went through an intense out of body initiation process to her path as medicine women.
The next years she went herself on a profound healing journey out of depressions and anxiety guided and supported by the sacred medicine.
In 2016 she became initiated by her teacher Inkanima in the Shipibo Conibo lineage of his grandparrents abuelo Inkanima and abuela Ronin Wesna. She received her medicine name Metsa Yaka and started studying in various Master Plants dietas.
A big part in her life is her very strong connection to the Animal- and especially the Horse Medicine. They have accompanied her, her whole life as loving friends, wise teachers and important guides to her.
In 2017 she felt more and more called to the work with women, to support them on their very own way to liberation and deep connection within – the first Medicine Women’s Circle came to life.
With a strong intuition, she is holding a space of presence, clarity, love & allowance supporting people to find their way into reconnection. As a translator for the Horse, Animal and Plant World she stands for a deeper understanding for our teachings we receive.
Metsa Yaka is Founder of Rao Caballo and Co-Founder of the Non-Profit-Association Visiones.
For over 25 years, Selva has been a guide on the path of self-awareness and personal development. As a breath and meditation trainer, transformation, life and soul coach, shamanic consultant and medicine woman, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work.
She has traveled the world, learning from teachers and masters in India, Poland, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and South America. She has also studied at both traditional and alternative institutions, gaining a deep understanding of various healing modalities. Her practical experience includes facilitating group workshops, women circles, music circles, rituals and healing ceremonies, sweat lodge ceremonies, vision quest and individual sessions.
She holds a degree in cultural anthropology, where her passion for shamanic traditions began. Furthering her education, she completed postgraduate studies in Process Psychology and a shamanic school under the guidance of Arvick Baghramian and Daan Van Kampenhout.
Her approach helps individuals reconnect with lost powers and visions, awaken their inner potential, establish a deep connection with their soul and spiritual guides. She supports people on their journey of transformation, healing, and achieving personal wholeness.

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.
