Grandmother Retreat Details:
The group retreats are held on selected weekends beginning Friday afternoon and ending Sunday afternoon. The ceremonies begin each evening as day fades into night and spirit comes out to play. The journeys are rooted in the Shipibo tradition and adorned with Shipibo icaros, Sanskrit and Eastern incantations, mantra, and other medicine songs from around the world. Song is intertwined with musical and sound healing instruments including piano, guitar, handpan, flutes, singing bowls, chimes and more. The icaros are woven rhythmic songs calling in our spirit and plant allies to help us heal and return to ourselves. The Sanskrit, mantra and incantations call in Eastern deities and wisdom to remind us of our true nature- inherently awake and basically good. All of the music, sound, and vibration are shared with the intention to communicate open states of being beneath the conceptual mind- to the core of our being.
The weekend includes:
2 grandmother ceremonies
A personal energetic cleanse or soplada with mapacho and agua florida
A circulo de palabra group discussion with our plant allies mambe and ambil
A closing integration circle with cacao
Optional Kambo session
Please reach out with questions or for upcoming retreat dates.
Individual One-On-One Medicine Sessions:
Group retreats are a powerful way to engage in personal healing while connecting with our greater community. However, sometimes situations and journeys call for a more intimate and individualized container. We work with grandmother, kambo, mushrooms and toad medicine in these personalized and focused spaces. Each of these medicine allies speaks to and helps us to find our way back to the same ultimate reunion with ourselves, Mother Earth and Great Spirit, but they all have a unique way of illuminating the path.
If you are interested in partaking in an individualized session with a medicine ally, please reach out and we can discuss options for you.
About Misa:
Over a decade ago, Misa traveled to the Peruvian jungle and immersed herself in the ways of an indigenous shamanic tribe called the Shipibos. Through an initiatory process, she began to tune into the inherent intelligence and wisdom of the natural world. Upon returning to the States, she felt a strong calling to delve into meditation and train her mind to access the deeper non-conceptual rhythms and communications of the Earth. She took Buddhist Monastic Vows and spent many years immersed in retreat, seeking the ability to listen and open to the living world around her. Today, she continues to travel biannually to the jungle to continue her studies with the Shipibos, working with master plant allies such as Noya Rao, Blue Lotus and Mapacho. She weaves her contemplative Buddhist studies and musical background into her retreats and offerings. She believes that all the large-scale problems of this world are symptoms of a deeper root cause. War, environmental destruction, political discord and so on, are merely symptoms of a profound disconnection from ourselves, our communities and the earth. She believes that as we begin to mend these basic disconnections, we will automatically find ways to live in harmony. She has found South American shamanism, Eastern wisdom traditions, and music from the heart to be powerful allies in her dedication of service to a more harmonic world.
With love, in service of Great Spirit and the Mystery,
Misa Mentari and Ayalotus Meditations
