Initiation of Tobacco & Mother Aya Retreat

7-Day Shamanic Immersion Retreat

We welcome you to our first retreat of the year: a 7-day shamanic immersion guided by the ancestral spirits of Master Tobacco and Mother Ayahuasca, held with deep reverence for the Original Lineages that protect these sacred medicines.
This retreat includes an optional 4-day Tobacco Purge & Dieta, followed by 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies led by Medicine Woman Manuela González and Devi Chandra Ma.

Master Tobacco – Purge & Diet (Optional · 4 Days)

The retreat begins with the option to enter a traditional Purge & Dieta with Master Tobacco, a high medicine known for cleansing the energetic body, strengthening spiritual protection, and preparing the channel with clarity, grounding, and inner strength.
Master Tobacco prepares the ground so the work with Ayahuasca (also known as Aya or Yagé) can unfold in truth, safety, and alignment.

Mother Ayahuasca – 3 Ceremonies - After completing the Tobacco work, we continue with three Ayahuasca ceremonies:

1 ceremony guided by Devi Chandra Ma
2 ceremonies guided by Manuela González
During the ceremonies, our healers hold a sacred field of protection, alignment, and deep listening. Through Ícaros, mantras, and ancient prayer, they guide Ayahuasca’s healing force into each participant’s process with precision, love, and integrity.


About Manuela González:

Curandera from Colombia, Manuela began her spiritual path at the age of 13, awakening a deep sensitivity and connection to the spiritual realms. Through her youth, she walked a path of self-healing through meditation, yoga, and breathwork, eventually meeting Ayahuasca at age 17.
For 8 years, she studied with Taita Diomedes Díaz of the Cofán community, and later with elders Taita Querubín Queta and María. Over the last 7 years, she has been apprenticing under Elder Isaías Muñoz Macanilla, leader of the Kichwa & Murui lineage, who granted her permission to serve the medicine.
Manuela weaves her background in psychology with ancestral knowledge, offering deep, individualized healing and powerful integration support.

About Devi Chandra Ma
Devi Chandra is a Mexican healer and curandera, founder of PRANA, walking the Sacred Path of Power Plants for over 23 years. A Medicine Woman, mother of three, and devotee of Saint Germain’s teachings, she has devoted her life to service, healing, and love for humanity and Pachamama.
A Reiki Master and Fire Guardian in the Temazcalli tradition, Devi guides Cacao Ceremonies, Women’s Circles, Rapé rituals, and Medicine Ceremonies, sharing her gifts through the voice of her heart - a pure channel for the Divine Mother’s medicine to flow.
Having served alongside some of the most respected shamans of Amazonia and Mexico, her path is one of devotion, humility, and deep communion with ancestral wisdom. Her songs are living prayers, her voice a healing bridge between Heaven and Earth. Her latest album is a chant for humanity to remember peace: an offering to awaken love and harmony within every heart.

Intention & Preparation

Before the retreat, all participants will take part in a Preparation Call with our shaman Devi Chandra Ma, focusing on intention setting, cleansing protocols, and emotional preparation for the ceremonies.
Setting intention is one of the most important steps of the journey. It opens clarity, guides the medicine, and roots the work in conscious purpose.


Small Groups · Deep Individual Care
We welcome 4 to 12 participants per retreat, allowing us to offer safe, attentive, and personalized support throughout the entire process.
Prana Foundation works with devotion to ensure every individual is seen, held, and guided with responsibility and care.


Integration:

After each ceremony, we gather in an integration circle with Manuela, Chandra, and our facilitators. Integration supports understanding, embodiment, and practical application of the teachings, anchoring the medicine into daily life in a grounded and conscious way. Also around 10 days after the retreat we make a video call with a new integration chat.
