Work with masterplants – Learn to connect tantra yoga and meditation with your deepest visions – Explore a breathing river in the coastal jungle – Learn about “good living” in community. 

This unique Shamanism and Yoga Retreat will open your eyes to life in community of the Durga’s Tiger Land, close to Rio Verde, not as a turist but as a guest. Our coomunity is located at the ecuadorian coast. We are close to beautiful beaches and a clean river to swim in the middle of a coastal jungle.

In this way, our retreat will be focused on connecting shamanism, tantra yoga and meditation to create a sacred space for healing and transformation. There will be an introduction into shamanism and the work with powerplants like Yage/ Ayahuasca. There will be an introduction into the tantra yoga and meditation practice.

As part of our Shamanism & Yoga retreat we offer the opportunity to explore the healing powers of the sacred Yage medicine in two ceremonies in a safe set and setting for this beautiful, visionary and healing experience. After the powerplant ceremonies there will be space for integration and talking circles to round up the process.

Listen for the call of the plant spirits to awaken your heart: yage is a visionary drink created with the combination of two plants. the yage vine & the yage uku leave. Yage has been used by the shamanic socio-cultures in the amazon for healing and transformation since they remember.

On Durga’s Tiger Land the spirits of the earth, the plants and the animals are still incredibly alive. The jungle symphony in the night, the sound of the river and the wind in the trees, all that makes it a sacred place. You are invited to connect with the sacred medicine Yage in its own habitat. This retreat is led by Malin Wind Disse together with his heart team. He is Neo Shaman, Tantric, Yogi, Anthropologist and actual leader of the Durga’s Tiger School 200hrs, 300hrs and 500hrs Teacher Trainings (Yoga Alliance and Yoga Alliance International certified) in Ecuador.

 Imagine: The gentle breathing “Green River” with his warm water cleanses and awakens my inner child. A sacred grove of old “Saman” trees invites you to meditate and connect with the birds and elemental spirits.

In our powerplant ceremonies, we will be working with the tradition of the A’í or Cofán Socio-culture, coming from the Ecuadorian Amazon. This is the tradition where Wind has been learning as an apprentice since more than 15 years with the master shaman Don Avelino Quenama. Wind has received the permission to do his own master plant ceremonies and invite others into this sacred tradition. Since then he has been guiding ceremonies with the medicine of the yage/ ayahuasca holding space for healing and for transformation.

The lifestyle of the Durga’s Tger Land community is aligned with the principles of “buen vivir” or the “good living”, exemplified by living the simple life, one that is not defined by things to possess; but emphasizes the connection from within to the Great Spirit. A connection that can be found living close with Pachamama; and honoring this Earth as a living being.
