About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Veronika León experienced a profound transformation when she first encountered *Ayahuasca*, the sacred plant medicine of the Amazon. This pivotal moment marked a turning point in her life, as the powerful plant opened a doorway within her, awakening the spirit of a medicine woman. It was during this initial experience, alongside Mitsuwo, that she began to understand her true calling. Her gift for singing, which had always been a part of her life, took on new meaning. Through her voice, Veronika found a deep connection to the healing power of the plants and the spiritual realms, and it became a central part of her medicine work.
As she continued to work closely with Mitsuwo, Veronika’s role as a healer blossomed. Her voice, pure and filled with emotion, became a channel for the sacred energies during ceremonies. Her songs, which resonate with the essence of the plants, guide participants through their own healing journeys, allowing them to connect with their inner selves and the spiritual world. Her music carries a nurturing, maternal energy, soothing those who seek healing and helping them feel safe in the transformative space of the ceremony.
Driven by a deep passion for helping others, Veronika stepped fully into her role as a medicine woman, working alongside Mitsuwo in guiding ceremonies, especially with *Wachuma* and *Ayahuasca*. She brings a unique, feminine energy to their work, providing a balance that nurtures both the spiritual and emotional aspects of healing. Veronika’s presence in ceremonies is powerful yet gentle, and she has become an integral part of the healing process for many who come to their retreats.
In recent years, Veronika’s work has expanded beyond the traditional plant medicine ceremonies. Embracing her maternal instincts, she has developed a deep focus on helping women connect with their own sense of motherhood—whether as actual mothers or in a broader, symbolic sense. Through her teaching, Veronika embodies the "maternal hearth," guiding women on how to nurture themselves and others, how to embrace their feminine power, and how to create a space of love and support in their lives.
Veronika León's journey is one of personal transformation and dedication to healing. Her unique blend of soulful singing, compassionate teaching, and deep wisdom has made her a respected medicine woman. Together with Mitsuwo, she co-leads their retreat center, *Michi Hampi*, where they offer healing ceremonies and spiritual guidance for all those seeking a deeper connection to themselves and the earth.
Through her work, Veronika continues to inspire and uplift those around her, teaching not only the ways of plant medicine but also the profound lessons of motherhood, nurturing, and unconditional love. Whether through her songs in ceremony or her teachings about the maternal spirit, Veronika León remains dedicated to helping others heal and grow into their full potential. Woman and an inspiration.
