» IMPORTANT « Before booking, please write an email to info@pranafoundation.org
Also, we invite you to check our social media (@prana_foundation) and our website (www.pranafoundation.org) to get to know us better.


We are “Prana Foundation”, a team dedicated to preserving traditional Earth medicines and making them safely available in Europe. Currently most of our retreats are in Portugal lead by Devi Chandra Ma, a Mexican medicine woman with over 20 years of experience in multiple healing modalities, and founder of Prana Org and Prana Portugal.

We are Calling in the warrior women, the wild women, the sacred rebels.
Those who are looking to connect in with the sacred energy of the feminine. In this time of chaos and upheaval we are being called to reclaiming our power, our vulnerability and the call to re-wild our souls. This will be a divine portal of deep connection with the union of women and the wholeness of ourselves. A safe, protective space to explore and feel the freedom to be all that you are with out restraints, rules, or limitations. Through deeply diving into the master funghi, the mushrooms and mycellium we will be calling in all disowned parts of self, while connecting in with our inner child, ancestors and sacred guardians.

For this Divine Work and guidance we are waving a beautiful alliance with Madelyne Pfeiffer who's passion is the deep work with Psylocibin and Integration

Madelyne is a trained Clinical Social Worker who early in her career provided therapy to high risk foster youth living in group homes across San Diego. After an important time of taking care of her grandparents, she was deeply called to serving marginalized seniors who lacked family support and financial stability.

Through years of diving deep into plant medicine, integration, meditation, yoga, voice activation, and horse medicine she found her way back to her wholeness and self love. During this time of letting go of all she identified herself as, she began to be deeply called to psilocybin and the powerful tools they were for her own personal transformation. A voice came to her one day and said “start growing”, so she began to work with psilocybin through cultivating and creating a deep relationship with the mushrooms. She went through many dark nights of the soul during this time around her purpose and “who she was” and made the best and yet scariest decision of her life to step into serving plant medicine full time.

As a Mature Medicine woman, Mady brings a deep offering to heal diving into the silence and allowing the group to face our deep shadows.

At this wonderful Retreat we have an amazing Ancestral Ceremony of Temazcalli lead by Viento del Alba who is an intuitive life path counselor and holistic healer. With over 16 years of experience, she guides you on a transformative journey towards a healthy, peaceful life filled with empowerment and self-love. As a ceremonial leader, she creates a safe space for your growth and healing, drawing from Mexican Cosmology and Advaita perception in her practice.

She leads Temazcalli in the way our Mayan Ancestors and Native Americans Did, with her unique touch immersing you into a Wonderful Woman Ritual full of Wisdom, kindness, compassion and Strength.

Our intention is to create a wonderful intimate feminine container where we can hold each other to dive into all this topics that our woman tribe needs to release trough generations of patriarcal systems.
we unite hearts to heal together where we cab find our true Wild Nature.


Plant medicines can be psyche-shattering while carrying enormous potential to re-imagine oneself from the ground up. In this process, we, as facilitators, do our best to assist with absolute compassion and gentleness, while also having the strength to hold safe space for the primitive material that comes to the surface during the retreat. It is our job to provide a secure base which will allow for deep experiences to unfold.


Keeping company, containing, ensuring safety and connection when sought for, paying careful attention, and surrendering to what the situation calls for— these are our goals as facilitators. We follow, accompany, support so your healing is safe and grounded as much as possible.

INTEGRATION

As we offer these experiences, we also acknowledge the need for integration and preparation. That is the only safe way to work in these spaces.

The challenge is to weave together insights, downloads, visions, and mystical experiences in order to translate them into greater wisdom and loving- kindness in daily life. Following the retreat, we offer an integration session with the group. In addition, should you need it, we highly recommend therapy sessions with our handpicked guides.

Plant medicines can reveal the baggage that you have carried all your life, and when you acknowledge it, you can finally put it down. In the right context this is a very deep experience, and it is our role as facilitators to create that context.

In this retreat, we will bring presents and one of this beautiful experiences waved together is the Saraswati Experience — a conscious journey inwards of self-discovery. You will be guided to connect with your physical, emotional, mental and energetic body through Yogic techniques, Sound healing, Art therapy and Mantra meditation. A 3 hours experience calling the guidance of Saraswati Goddess archetype within us. Saraswati is the Hindu Goddess of Wisdom and the studies of all Arts. Also, she is referred to the feminine water element, creativity, the ability of flowing, transforming density into subtlety.



AFTER THE RETREAT

We encourage participants to take a couple of days away from society, both before and especially after the retreat. The process of transformation is still extremely powerful in the first few days, and the psyche is too tender to be returned abruptly to day to day life.

We’ll stress again the importance of integration, either with a therapist chosen by yourself or one recommended by us, or even by yourself. Two weeks after the retreat we hold an online sharing circle, which is a wonderful occasion to talk about your realisations and hear your fellow travellers speak about theirs.

Also, if you accept, you will be added to the extended circle of the Prana spiritual family, as we grow together into a community of people dedicated to personal and societal spiritual growth.
