Currently most of our retreats are in Portugal under the guidance of Devi Chandra Ma, a Mexican medicine woman with over 20 years of experience in multiple healing modalities.


Communion with the Spirit of The Desert!
Hikuri, Peyote or "Blue Dear". this is how our Sacred medicine is named in Mexico

by the first time in Europe we bring Don Juan Ortiz from the wirrarika Nation in Mexico the guardians of the Peyote, who is the leader of the Wirrarika community named the first Singer, who will lead the ceremony with his blessings and prayers during the night all the healing will happen opening our 3rd eye and our Body to higher conscience, he will be accompanied by Devi Chandra Ma Medicine woman from Mexico and founder of Prana, they met in Mexico and she helped and served in his ceremonies trough several years.

This Healing Ceremony has been preserved as it has been done by the tribe for centuries!, the Marakame sings during the night with a sacred fire that will be cared and sustained trough the whole night, the shaman sings to the cosmos and he narrates trough his chant the steps that the Blue Dear left behind for Humanity to find back Home, on his traditional language, and around the fire we welcome the Sunrise of the morning

this is one of the most well preserved ancestral Ceremonies now that the community and guardians of the Peyote in Mexico is a very closed tribe that is not in touch with the world, they marry with people of the tribe, they speak Wirrarika language not Spanish as the rest. of Mexico, they do their own clothes full of prayers and colourful protection symbols. And as a big structured tribe they do their ceremonies for their people and they don't allow foreigners in.
only when a Marakame "shaman" is given the duty can go out and serve the medicine to the rest of the world.

is a privilege to sit in such a beautiful ceremony and is our Duty to help them preserve it and share it with the world.

Prana Family expands its possibilities bringing into our Events this beautiful and huge possibility here in the Sacred Land of Portugal that has opened its Doors to Us.
we are full of Happiness to offer to you this possibility

An amazing and transformative experience.
A huge thank you to the whole team for making this retreat a wonderful experience. The guidance and support I received before, throughout and after the retreat, as well as during the ceremonies themselves, has really helped me to integrate the experience and is already creating a positive shift in my life. Not to mention, the food was delicious and the venue was beautiful!! I would highly recommend Devi Chandra Ma and her team to anyone drawn to the plant medicine path.

Amazing family and healing
It was my first healing retreat and I could have not chosen a better group of caring and expert individuals.
During the entire experience I have felt well-informed and taken care of, from testing the ground by asking all sorts of questions and booking the retreat with Alise, to join Chandra, Sonia and all the other facilitators in a wonderful location in Portugal where they made sure I had everything I needed.
Although I cannot put in words how awakening and impactful on my life this experience has been, I can only stress out how I completely trusted Chandra and Sonia from the very beginning, their aura exudes kindness and compassion.
I would choose nobody else than them to embark in such a transformative journey.
I am beyond grateful they have entered my life.
Can't wait to meet them all again very soon!

Magical outstanding healer and guiding light
I had the great opportunity to join a Devi Chandra Ma's retreat, and I could not ask for a better guiding light.
Since the first moment we met, Chandra has taken great care of the group and each single participant, being always present, kind and compassionate in helping walking the path of much longed-for healing. You could feel from the first meeting with her how passionate and devoted she is to her sacred calling of making the world a better place one healed soul at a time.
Chandra's therapies and healing modalities were well-organized and performed with great expertise and love, they have been a soothing balm for the soul.
I always felt in safe hands and eager to embark in the healing process with her every day.
Knowing that I am part of Chandra's big family is giving me great support and hope for the future.
Muchas gracias por todo Chandra, nos vemos muy pronto!

A Spiritual Mother For the World
I met Chandra on her retreat and found her to be kind, caring, compassionate and an expert in her field. I was using ayahuasca to process a difficult past and fibromyalgia pains. Chandra offered me many resources (including breathwork, yoga, food awareness, and healing modalities) to make me feel comfortable. Since the ayahuasca ceremonies, I do not have fibromyalgia pain and I was able to process a lot of things that were the root cause of my chronic conditions. I felt that I could trust Chandra as much as a person could trust their own mother, as she deeply cares about plant medicine, healing and the people she offers these treasures to. I feel lucky to have Chandra in my life due to the retreat. Thanks Chandra for all that you do to make this world a better place and to make the people in it a bit happier, healthier, and more comfortable :)
