Ecuador, 28 December 2025 – 2 January 2026
What if you could begin the year in complete and total alignment with your deepest Heart’s desires?
We invite you to step into the new year with clarity, connection, and embodied vision!
The Yagé & Yoga retreat is a sacred space for healing & transformation – a six-day immersive experience at Durga’s Tiger School on the sacred mountain of Ilaló, where ancestral shamanic wisdom meets eastern embodiment practices.
This retreat is a celebration of endings and beginnings. Through Kaula Tantra Yoga, shamanic plant medicine ceremonies, meditation and sacred embodiment rituals, we invite you to release what no longer serves, call in your highest vision, and anchor it deeply into your body and life.
Who is this for?
For seekers of conscious celebration spaces, lovers of the sacred, curious souls, and courageous hearts.
Whether you’re experienced or newly exploring this path, whether you’re coming alone, with a partner, or with friends, this is a space to celebrate New Year in a conscious, inspiring and uplifting way, to connect in community, and to welcome the New Year with intention, power and grace.
Yagé and Yoga
Yagé & Yoga – Embody Your New Vision is a sacred New Year retreat devoted to healing, transformation, clarity, and embodied vision. Over six days, we open a ceremonial space to shed the weight of the past year and step into a new cycle from a place of grounded intention, expanded awareness, and heart-centered power.
Rooted in the powerful synergy between Amazonian plant medicine and Tantra Yoga, this retreat invites you to reconnect with your essence through sacred Yagé / Ayahuasca ceremonies, Kaula Tantra Yoga, Dance Rituals, Meditations and group and personal integration. You’ll be guided through a slow, intentional, and body-based journey to remember your truth, anchor your vision, and awaken a deeper sense of purpose and presence.
Surrounded by the majestic Andes and the sacred volcano Ilaló, supported by the land, the medicine, the practices, and a loving community – this is a time to release, receive, and step into your new vision with power and trust.
Yagé opens the inner eye to your spiritual vision. Yoga & Dance brings your vision into the body.
Through this powerful combination, you’ll not only receive insight – you’ll integrate it, embody it, and begin living from it. The retreat offers the sacred alchemy of the eagle and the condor, connecting masculine and feminine, joining mind, body and heart in harmony – yoking ancient wisdom and embodied presence.
Let your New Year begin with reverence. With truth. With inner power.
Embody Your New Vision.
