About
FEMTHEOGEN
FEMTHEOGEN is a word and a concept as itself. Fem (comes from the word feminine) and entheogen, derived frim Greek entheos (that contains God within), refers to vegetable substances – or a preparation/combination of vegetable substances – that once consumed, can induce altered states of consciousness.
The concept FEMTHEOGEN refers to the feminine sacredness that these altered states of consciousness can induce; the experiences with entheogens can repare this illusory state of separation and we can feel connected with the Unity and the Mother.
FEMTHEOGEN
FEMTHEOGEN is born from the union of spiritual sisters that recognised each other in the healing path, working together in ancestral medicines retreats. We felt that even though the work that we were doing was helping many brothers and sisters, we wanted to create a sacred space for women to heal. A space where they can feel safe and understood, because we know that individual wounds are also collective wounds and if one of us heals, we all heal. Because our individual crisis translate into the social and global crisis that we face nowadays.
After many ceremonies together, the conversations to make this collective dream come true began. One night, after a ceremony with ancestral medicines, we decided to take this step in order to help women heal and empower themselves and in this way, help the masculine collective as well.
Femtheogen is not a space exclusively for women, but it is a space created from feminine care, taking into account that men are equally important for the awakening of consciousness and that only together, hand in hand, can we improve our lives in society.
At the end of 2023, we embarked on a journey deep into our own being, retreating to the jungle of Putumayo, Colombia, to be able to offer, from the most honest part of our hearts, a sacred space where we can openly talk about our emotions and traumas, face them without fear and begin a path of growth and healing.
In those sacred lands that welcomed us with great warmth, we have understood how necessary it is for women to open their hearts to forgive our wounds with the masculine; only then we can find more conscious partners and families, thus contributing to the development of a more balanced society in harmony with the Earth.
Our mission of empowerment is to ensure that women reconnect with their intuition, their inner witch and priestess, and that their medicine is their food, the plants, and self-love.
“Retreat is not an absence; rather it is the search for a true presence” GEORGES GUSDORF
In her own words:
“There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far yet near and invisible. It is where God, the dead, and the saints reside. A world where everything has already happened, and everything is known. That world speaks. It has its own language. I transmit what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and leads me to the world where everything is known. There are the sacred mushrooms that speak in a certain way that I can understand. I ask them, and they answer me. When I return from the journey I have taken with them, I say what they have told me and what they have shown me.”
In the fast-paced times that our society lives, it is more necessary than ever to take a moment to breathe and pause. The technology that our daily lives easier can also cause stress. Social media, which seems to connect us, can provoke anxiety when we compare our lives to the others’. That is why stepping away from the noise can help us connect more with ourselves, and allow us to truly listen to what our bodies and souls are telling us.
Finding our true selves amidst our routines can be challenging. That’s why attending our retreats provides you with the opportunity to empower yourself and overcome fears and traumas in a completely safe environment, surrounded by therapists and medicine women who are ready to support you at all times.
Ancient medicines can open doors to our subconscious, allowing us to heal our deepest wounds. They give us the opportunity to connect with our divinity, as written by María Sabina, “the spirit woman,” shaman or Chjota Chjine (the one who knows), known for her knowledge of plant medicine and the sacred mushroom, known as Teonanacatl, which she lovingly called “little angels” or “little children.”
