The medicine of Yagé (Ayahuasca) is the medicine of pure love, deep healing and ancestral knowledge. With good guidance, this teacher plant can help you heal your mind, your body, and your soul. She can strengthen your spiritual connection and guide you towards your purpose in life, by helping you get mental clarity and find alignment in your path.

If you are open and if you listen, Yagé medicine can give you the most profound healing that you can possibly experience. It is an ancestral tool of growth and development that can help you get to the root of your trauma, therefore allowing you to start to understand and really begin your healing process.
If you have history of mental disorders, of anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and you are willing to let go of damaging conditions or self destructive behaviours, this might be the retreat for you. By cleansing your body and mind, by going inwards and looking inside, by listening to the medicine of the Earth you might get the tools and the understanding to push the reset button and take the direction that you need.
If you are compromised with your personal and spiritual growth and are ready to go one step further in your development, if you are willing to gain understanding of yourself, your family history, your relationships, even of the world, the Earth and the Universe, this might be the retreat for you.

From Femtheogen, it is a real honour for us to organise and present you this Yagé retreat with Taita David Queta and his family. Taita David Queta is the son of Taita Querubín Queta Alvarado, the maximum authority of Yagé medicine who passed away last January when he was 111 years old, after more than 100 years learning with the medicine of Yagé and sharing his knowledge, healing the people, serving humanity and working hard for a better world.

His son Taita David Queta carries his teachings and, with his family, he will leave his home in the jungle to come to this beautiful farmhouse in Choachí (close to Bogotá) to share his medicine with us during this retreat. He will come with his wife, Nelsi Lucitante who accompanies him and takes care of the participants during the ceremony, and with their son Arleys Queta, who is a musician as well as a student of the plant of Yagé, and accompanies the ceremonies with his music.

During these days and prior and after the retreat, we from Femtheogen will be here to support you in all your process, and assist you in all the communications with the Taita and his family.

Even though in Europe we work with mushrooms medicine, we have been taking Yagé for several years for our own personal process and growth. In 2023 we had the opportunity to stay for a couple of months in the indigenous reserve Ukumari Kankhe in Putumayo, with Taita Querubín Queta. He was the ultimate guardian of the sacred medicine throughout Colombia and the highest authority of the Cofán indigenous people. They welcomed us with great warmth, and there are no words that can adequately express our gratitude to the Cofán people, Grandfather Taita Querubín, and his legacy. Therefore, our way of expressing our gratitude is by carrying these teachings wherever we go, to our families, our communities and in our work. To organise this retreat with his son Taita David Queta is a very special opportunity, so that more people can experience the immense healing of this plant, by the hands of a true healer and traditional doctor that shares the medicine with knowledge, responsibility, humbleness and love.

This retreat is not for everyone, as you need to be ready to let go and trust in the process, to humble yourself and accept the teachings of the plant, and with them the great gifts of healing and growth.

The medicine, Yagé or Ayahuasca is an ancestral medicine from the Amazon, and its name means “vine of the souls” in Quechua (an indigenous language), referring to wise ancestors who have passed away. Indigenous elders use this sacred plant to find the answers that lie within ourselves, to separate the soul, cleanse it, heal it, and return it intact to the body.

Taita David can help you heal many illnesses if you are willing to let him and the plant do so, so get in touch with us if you have a specific request or situation.
