Plant Medicine Ceremony
In these Plant Ceremonies you are connecting with sacred healing plants from the Peruvian Amanzon. By drinking the sacred and powerful Medicine you enter the worlds of the Master Plants, which enable you to work on a deeper level of consciousness and experience profound healing, clearing and transformation on a physical, psychological, emotional, energetical and spiritual level. It is aswell about the transformation of old patterns and removing of blockages.
The Medicine opens you up to your inner truth and connects you to a deeper understanding and blessings of life.
Through the integration of the teachings and the wisdom of the plants, this can be the starting point to change your life and live it in full potential.
It is also possible to take part in the ceremonies without drinking the medicine.
Kundalini Yoga Classes
During the retreat Taj Devjoti Kaur will offer Kundalini Yoga classes. Kundalini Yoga is an ancient practice and philosophy to awaken one’s full potential. It strengthens the body and nervous system, clarifies the mind and increases awareness. It gets your energy system moving and charges you with new energy through asanas (exercises), pranayama (breathing) and mantras (sacred chants).
Cacao & Breathwork Ceremony
Cacao Ceremonies are originated all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America. The spirit of Cacao – also called Mama Cacao – was worked with in spiritual ceremonies to open up the heart, to bring clarity, inner harmony and to connect to ones creativity. The heart opening Medicine can unlock euphoric states, release emotions and enabels you to connect to our Higher Self, our wisdom within, the loving energy in our body and will also calm the mind. Cacao has been used for centuries to heal the mental, physical and spiritual body.
Through Conscious Connected Breathing, we can overcome the barriers of the mind and increase the oxygen supply in the brain and in the entire bloodstream. The neuralogical network is stimulated and hormones are released, among others, Anandamides – also known as the “Bliss Hormone”. From a state of connection, emotions, stress and anxiety can be released, our own awareness and creativity are increased and we come into a feeling of inner peace, love and compassion. Our deeper truth can be revealed.
The Medicine of Cacao and the Medicine of our own Breath is an incredibly powerful combination, allowing us to delve deeply into our process.
“Our breathing is the direct connection to pure consciousness.”

Rapé & Sananga Sharings
Rapé (pronounced Hapee) is a sacred and powerful plant medicine with deep healing, purifying and centering qualities which has been used for centuries by Brazilian indigenous tribes such as the Huni Kuin, Yawanawa and Nukini.
The Rapé is a powdered mixture made from finely ground Mapacho tobacco and ingredients or ash from various medicinal plants and it´s blown into the nose through a bamboo tube (Tepi). It cleans physically & energetically, it heals, opens the heart, centers the mind, clears the consciousness and cleans the pineal gland. Rapé is very good to focus and to maintain better concentration during meditation.
Process and Integration Work
The Integration is the most important element to embody and manifest what you have experienced in your daily life.
Integration happens when experiences you made on an energetical, emotional and physical level, are brought into consciousness.
We will compliment your process with different tools and exercises to enable you to accomplish your process with self empowerment. Breathwork, Trauma Work, Body Work, Shadow Work, Emotional Release, Inner Child Work, Inquiry Work are a few elements which we incorporate intuitively.

He was one of the highest and most respected healer in Paoyhan, a Shipibo community in the Ucayali River. After Inkanima senior left his physical body, he transmitted his healing energy and his medicine name “Inkanima” to his grandson. His grandparents “Abuelo Inkanima” and “Abuela Ronin Wesna” still lead Inkanima and the lineage from the non-physical world. A lineage full of wisdom and unconditional love, like Inkanima. Sergio has been working regularly in Europe since 2016, which means he already has a lot of experience with European clients and the topics which Europen clients bring to his ceremonies.
