Connect to sacred plants of South America
Plant Medicine Path Immersion Retreat
8 - 11th August at Yoga Farm Austria
On this 4-days-retreat we will have the opportunity to connect with the wisdom and healing powers of the sacred plants of Yerba Mate, Cacao and Tobacco in the form of Hapé.
During this journey we will create stability and grounding with yogic practices that are designed to support the process of inner explorations, by creating stillness within, coming into deeper states of awareness and feeling more ease and flow to navigate challenges and changes.
This unique combination of grounding practices and connection with plant teachers in a stable energetic container allows integration to happen naturally and organically during and after the retreat.

Yerba Mate
Energizing Ritual
Yerba mate is a traditional tea from South America with energizing and healing properties. It is often consumed as a social drink, passing it around the circle for different occasions.
This medicinal tea is traditionally consumed on a cured gourd and a metal straw that filters the loose leaves of the tea.
Mate drinking is a beautiful ritual that energizes your body, mind and spirit.

Cacao
Medicine of the Heart
One of the most sacred superfoods of the world, known and used for centuries by many cultures and communities in Central and South America for its power to open and heal the heart, allowing space to reconnect to ourselves and our direct environment, becoming more present and open to life.
Cacao is a gentle yet powerful plant that can show us that healing can be sweet and smooth.
Everything is better with chocolate!

The Medicine of Silence
Hapé Tobacco is a sacred medicine plant used by indigenous healers in the Amazon rainforest for thousands of years, in recent years, it has gained popularity among Westerners as a powerful shamanic medicine for healing and spiritual purposes.
Hapé tobacco is administered as a very thin powder that is blown up the nostrils using a bamboo, wood, or bone pipe called a kuripe or teepi. The effects of Hapé can vary depending on the individual and the dosage, but they usually include a sense of grounding, clarity, and heightened awareness.
