Shaman
Nina Kuntur, which translates as the Condor of Fire, grew up in the Andes, in the midst of an original society that passes on the ancient knowledge from generation to generation, as it has always been imparted; through life and experiencing the wisdom, customs, rituals and connectedness of all being. Kuntur shares his original and unadulterated knowledge of love and connection through music, songs, rituals and many other ways. He creates a field to dive deep into being, oneness with the Andes, in deep resonance with the cosmic vibration of being.

Apprentice
Pavlos has already had an intensive journey of his own and is learning new things every day. His willingness to grow in and with the group, to create a space where everyone enriches each other and to welcome all perspectives is extraordinary. Pavlos invites you gently and clearly to reflect, to find and lose yourself in the constant change of being. His invitation to life: “On this crazy journey of life we may swing from magic to meaninglessness, from effortless being to aspiration, from togetherness to solitude, from the depths of cynical sanity to ecstatic spiritual significance. In this vast sea of existence we can always meet in the space of our common humanity and swim there in grace, holding and inspiring one another." Pavlos
Shaman
Yaku Amaru, translated the snake of the water, grew up in the high mountains of the Andes. From birth she experienced the connection, the oneness with the Andes, with the animals and the human beings, everything that is and everything that can be. Her all-pervasive pure and loving energy not only nourishes her offspring, but everyone who works with her. She is a keeper of ancient dances, ceremonies, love and healing. She brings the essence of the cosmic worldview, the Andes. Like her husband, she is involved in a holistic Quechua school in which much more than just language and mathematics is taught and lived.
During her studies of medicine, Mevanya realized that she needed to shift towards a holistic approach to wellbeing. She is educated in alternative and plant medicine and spent 15+ years working in Trauma therapy with focus on sexual abuse and PTSD. Mevanya is trained in TRE, EMDR, CTP, PE, SIT, dearmoring, yoga and various forms of meditation. She combines whatever is true for you in a holistic shamanic approach.
Mevanya has been healing since she was a child. Coming from a family of healers, she reconnected with her given gifts and is on a never ending path to deepen the full range of her powerful skills. By going back to the land of her father, she brings back even more truths, secrets and long forgotten knowledge.
Mevanya studied the path of the heart in her tantric journey and helped others in individual and couple sessions, has been holding space for groups in workshops and retreats. Her love is her path, her life is her journey. Through her deep knowledge and passion for every being she encourages everyone, who feels called, to go deep and find their very individual freedom. Her calling is to build strong foundations so people are enabled to grow in joy and ease.
To build this foundation she holds safe containers for going deep into trauma and shadow work. In all of her retreats, Mevanya keeps space for private sessions to allow participants to go even deeper or get the professional support they might need. That’s why Mevanya’s working groups are usually not bigger than 10-15 persons.
