Details of this retreat
We welcome you to Wild Aliveness, a 7-day shamanic immersion guided by the ancestral spirits of Master Tobacco and Mother Aya, held with deep reverence for the Original Lineages that protect these medicines.
This retreat offers an optional 4-day Tobacco Purge & Dieta, followed by 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies led by our Medicine Woman Manuela González and Devi Chandra Ma.
Master Tobacco Dieta & Purge (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, protecting the spiritual field, and preparing the channel with clarity, grounding and inner strength. Master Tobacco prepares the ground so the work with Yagé can unfold in truth, safety and alignment.
Mother Aya: 3 Ceremonies
After the Tobacco work, we continue into three Aya ceremonies:
• 1 guided by Devi Chandra Ma
• 2 guided by Manuela González
During the ceremonies, our healers hold a sacred field of protection, alignment and deep listening. Through Icaros, 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 age 13, awakening her sensitivity and connection to the spiritual realms. Through her youth she walked a path of self-healing with meditation, yoga and breathwork, eventually meeting Ayahuasca at age 17.
For 8 years she learned with Taita Diomedes Díaz of the Cofán community, and later with elders Taita Querubín Queta and María. For the last 7 years she has studied under Elder Isaías Muñoz Macanilla, leader of Kichwua & 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.
Intention & Preparation:
Before the retreat, all participants will have a Preparation Call with our shaman Devi Chandra Ma, aligning intentions, cleansing protocols and emotional preparation for the ceremonies.
Setting intention is one of the most important steps, it opens clarity, guides the medicine and roots the work in purpose.
Small Groups - Deep Individual Care:
We receive 4–12 participants per retreat, allowing us to provide safe, attentive and personal support throughout the entire process. Prana Foundation works with devotion to ensure every individual is seen, held and guided with responsibility.
Integration - Where Healing Becomes Life:
After each ceremony, we gather in an integration circle with Manuela, Chandra and our facilitators. Integration helps you understand, embody and apply the teachings, anchoring the medicine into your life in a grounded, conscious way.
