5 day Retreat Introduction:

This unique Shamanism and Yoga Retreat will open your eyes to the life in the community of Durga’s Tiger Land, close to Rio Verde (Esmeraldas, Ecuador), not as a tourist but as a guest. Our Community is located at the Ecuadorian Coast. We are close to beautiful beaches and a clean River to swim in middle of the coastal jungle. 

In this way, our retreat will be focused on connecting Shamanism, Tantra Yoga & 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 & 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 he’s 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 & awakens my inner child. A sacred grove of old “Saman” trees invites you to meditate and connect with the birds & 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 Power 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 DTL 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.

Accommodation will be provided by DTL. You can book shared dormitory or Camping.  There is space to hang our hammocks if you choose to bring one. 

The food will be vegetarian and it will be prepared with love directly by the DTL cooking team. 

DTS Working Team: holistic healer, Neo Shaman, Tantra Yogi and Anthropologist Malin Wind Disse who is leading the retreat together with his heart team.

About our Team: 

Lead & Teacher - Malin Wind Disse

Wind Malin Disse was born in Berlin, Germany. From the age of 3 years old he has been living in Ecuador with exception of a view years in Switzerland and Germany. He graduated as an Anthropologist in Ecuador, and went to Germany for advanced studies as a Migration & Integration Manager. Besides Wind loves extreme sports, Art and to play music as a DJ on festivals.

Wind´s path as an anthropologist, holistic healer, artist and Tantra, Yoga teacher leads him to be seen as a cultural mediator, a bridge between worlds. He has been teaching the traditional Kaula Tantra Yoga in many workshops. In Durga’s Tiger School ® he teaches Applied Tantra Wisdom, Meditation, Psychology of Chakras, beside Kaula Tantra Yoga and Nature Spirit Connection. He is a certified Yoga Alliance and Yoga Alliance International Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) and one of the lead teachers of the Durga’s Tiger School ® Yoga Teacher Training. He is the manager of Durga’s Tiger School in Ecuador. 

In 2020 he joined a traditional Hatha Yoga teacher training at Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in south India which he finished successfully in 2023. 

Besides that, he has been part of the Skydancing Tantra Institute Love & Ecstasy Training in California USA 2022 to obtain more wisdom.

Wind has been learning and doing different rites of passage in the Shamanic path of the Deer Tribe or Twisted Hairs & Sweet Sundance Medicine Path that connect shamanic wisdom from different socio-cultures all around the world. 

Due to his deep interest in shamanism, he has contacted and learned from many shamans of the Amazon and Andean region of Ecuador, and worked with them to understand their traditions. From 2009 he has been invited to learn more about the shamanic tradition of the Cofán- A’í socio-culture and ended up being accepted as an apprentice by the shaman Don Avelino Quenama. Don Avelino created the A’í- Cofán Community Pisurí Canque. He is most known for his power as a healer. He is one of the Elders of the A’í- Cofán socio-culture, holding the Shamanic tradition with he’s rituals and spiritual teachings in Ecuador and Colombia. His lineage as an A’í- Cofán community member goes back countless generation. Not only is he a leader of the community as healer, but also as a political and spiritual leader. He was invited to many different countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Peru and to share his wisdom about the medicine and the shamanic path.

Wind´s thesis as Anthropologist was about the theme: Orality, practices and symbols of the A’í shamanism, including the relation with visionary plants. Don Avelino gave him the authorization to do his own ceremonies with the yage medicine and share his knowledge. 

Since then, Wind Malin Disse has attended and guided many shamanic ceremonies in order to keep on learning and help others to enter into a shamanic state of consciousness that allows shamanic healing. 

Assistant & Teacher: Roberto Calderon

Roberto Calderón was born in Quito, Ecuador. Roberto has always been looking for the all world´s ancient techniques of self-realization. He has practiced Zen and Vipassana Meditation, Hatha Yoga, Feng Shui, Reiky and Acupuncture since a very young age. His later studies included: Mesoamerican calendars, I Ching (Geomancy), and Classical Philosophy.

Roberto has done 3 Vision Quests so far in the “Camino Rojo” (Red Path); it is a shamanic tradition that arrived from North America over than 20 years ago to our country and it has an alternative design that mixes both South and North American ceremonies and sacred medicines. During the 7 years in which Roberto walked this shamanic path, he learned about the simplest but also most natural ways to prepare chocolate starting from the raw cocoa seeds.

In January of 2015 Roberto joined the CEIT the “Traditional Yogas` Studies Center”. This School has very ancient roots in the Tantric Yoga Traditions of southern India and was brought to us by European teachers who have more than 40 years of experience educating and giving yoga teacher´s degrees all around Europe based from their direct experience with Gurudji Thabovan and in coordination with the “Traditional Yogas` Federation in France”. This teachers´ formation lasts 3 years so Roberto is ready to share the original practice of this unstopped line of masters that can be traced back to Patanjali and his gift to the world: “The Yoga Sutras”.

My Abundant Magic Life

MINI FESTIVAL: YOGA ...SOCIOCRACY...TANTRA... ARTS...SHAMANISM...PERMACULTURE

Durga’s Tiger Retreat
19. - 26. of November

Laugh-create-cry-dance-dream-swim in the clean jungle river-pray-eat fruits from the tree.

We need brave hearts, hands and heads!
You have a pioneering spirit?
You trust in yourself for the future? 
You love to live in a community, on our own land?
You have ideas and skills for the vision of a self-sustaining village? 
You see a crisis as a moment of growth?
You dream the dreams of a utopia creating our own culture in harmony with nature?
Come!
Let’s celebrate life together -just be yourself amongst others with earth under your feet.

Our catalysts of the Durga’s Tiger Land Community are Iris Disse, founder of Durgas Tiger School, along with her partner David Höner, founder of Cuisine sans Frontieres. Together with essentials docents and healers we open the space to experience our abundant magic live: we blend techniques of Tantra, Yoga, Arts and Shamanism with the “Sumak Kawsay-Good Living“, the pillars of our community.

For whom:

-For you, who want to live and create the vision of the "Good Live" on Durga´s Tiger Land together with us                                            
-For our "Tigerriders" to reconnect                                                                                                          
-For people who want to experience living in community                                 
-For people who want to build a community themselves                                   
-To the ones who simply want to connect and celebrate life                          
-For Yogis and Yoginis who want to make 100 hrs or YA continuous education

Why: We experience life in our international - holistic community. The techniques we use help us to raise our consciousness, to be able to act and to celebrate life. We learn to consciously create our energy level. Problems become challenges that we take on together with creativity and the spirit of the spiritual warrior. We explore the question: How do I find my “I” in community

Topics: We will dive deep into the Community Vision and "Sumak Kawsay - the good living" and the Durga’s Tiger Teachings while using different techniques:

Yoga in Community: Daily Kaula Tantra Yoga session; Meditation; Mantra and other Yogic/Tantric methods

Energy work: Techniques from yoga, shamanism, and tantra.

Sociocracy: Specialized group decision making replaces the "leader". And answering the questions: "Is what we can decide now good enough to test? Does it not endanger the community?" Help to move quickly to action without lengthy debates about principles. You can always change the decision after gaining experience.

Communication: We use heart to heart communication like Forum or Talking Stick 

Totem as a guardian: For three mornings we use our creativity to create a protective fence around Durga’s Tiger Land with teak logs, paint and imagination.

Socio - permaculture: How do I live as a human being in harmony with nature and neighbors in an intercultural environment?

Food Sovereignty: We present our concept of self-sufficiency, permaculture and what it will become.

Bamboo Sala Construction & Yoga Retreat

Invited: Volunteers! 

Utopia? You can support to make it real:  participate in a holistic life changing community project ! Learning by Doing: build in bamboo and wood to create our community and ritual hall & enjoy Yoga-Meditation-Mantra-Pranayama-Dancing-Shamanic Rituals 

Limited number of places: Maximum 10 participants

We will build a hall/space for shamanic and yogic rituals; for theater, yoga, tantra, singing, dancing, community meetings and workshops – to create a sacred space where we connect with each other, the nature around and with spirit.

The bamboo space will be 121m2, only the floor will be made by laurel wood. 
All materials are found on Durga´s Tiger Land, our 42-hectare big community farm.

The process of cutting timber and bamboo was completed on the last black moon, and the material was transported by canoe across the river to the building space.

Bamboo needs a very special way to be worked on, different from wood, and a special treatment. You will learn how to cut and join bamboo, how to preserve it, how to use it in construction even in the holding pillars. You will accompany the whole building process and led by Alexander Soria, a bamboo building expert assisted by Javier Bone, who is a young skilled all-arounder who has knowledge in wood building to permaculture who works with us on the land.

Existing raw building from the former owner:
Inside Durgastigerland is a concrete building of 99m2. The ground floor is incomplete. We aim to build the 121m2 bamboo hall with a separate entrance. The raw building will become a kitchen and eating space for 30 people, with a wide outside terrace including a bathroom with showers. 

Community Building Teachings:

We offer a more complete community living experience, as the building group will create a little community, led by one of our members or teachers. So you will have every day morning meditation including mantra chanting, pranayama and other yogic techniques. Twice a week will be a yoga class and communication techniques such as talking stick. You can participate in simple shamanistic rituals.

Lodging:

You will be sleeping in your own tent and bedding in a grassy flat area. As it is the summer season there will be little or no rain or storms. There is one room with 4 bunk beds available as well as 4 big hammocks. You will have access to a toilet and shower at all times in the main building however you can also bathe in the river. Three healthy vegetarian meals a day will be provided. There will be the option of taking one day per week for other activities such as going to the beach, however the building work will continue 7 days a week therefore you also have the option of learning 7 days a week. 

Bring along: 

A sense of adventure, heart and hand, imagination.
A tent to sleep in, rubber boots, wash kit, hat.
(If you don't have a tent, ask).

We provide: 

Covered platform for the tent, food and drink, showers, river, bamboo and wood building experiences; Community building processes with yoga, meditation shamanic techniques.

Preliminary work:
1. Cut existing bamboo in durgastigerland.  Done by Javier and team
2. Treat or protect the bamboo against moths with sea salt. Done by Alexander, Javier and Team
3. The floor joists of the second floor will be built with bamboo and Laurel wood also existing in durgastigerland. Trees cut including cut into boards on the mountain side by Javier and team.
