Our Team Is Our Greatest Asset

Joël Brierre (aka: the entheogenic yogi) has a strong background in the Yogic traditions and has been teaching these practices for nearly two decades.

‍

His unique approach of applying classical non-dual yogic philosophy for both the preparation and integration from the entheogenic experience is deeply relevant to navigating these states of consciousness and the landscape of psychedelic use.

‍

Joel is the founder & CEO of Tandava Retreats as well as CEO and Co-founder of F.I.V.E. (5-MeO-DMT Information and Vital Education).

‍

Victoria Wueschner is the Co-Founder of the 5-MeO-DMT education and training platform F.I.V.E., as well as head of education for Tandava Retreats.

‍

Otto is a Certified Psychedelic Integration guide, Kambo practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Psychedelic educator, Jungian Coach, Writer, poet, and human being.

‍

The main focus of his work is assisting individuals in bridging the gap between their plant medicine/spiritual experiences and what they live in everyday life.

‍

He believes that if we can open ourselves to the poetry and aesthetic sensibility of nature, our relationships, and the soul that is orchestrating the dance of these elements, that life can be as simply profound as these fleeting transcendent spiritual experiences.

‍

That healing is not an event, but a process, and is available to all who have eyes to see, and ears to listen to the healing calling us from within.

My passion and purpose is to shine a light and walk with you on the journey of reconnection and integration.

‍

I support those going through the darkness of trauma, abuse, disease and addiction as well as those on a search for deeper meaning.

‍

With a psycho-spiritual -somatic approach, I guide you back to your own inner wisdom as we unravel habitual holding patterns of the body/ mind creating more aliveness, fluidity and freedom.

‍

My work is a fusion of Hakomi Somatic Therapy, Breathwork, Embodied meditation, Bodywork, Fluid movement practices and Trauma Informed Expressive arts modalities.

‍

These modalities allow expression to a deeper, non verbal part of the self where trauma is often stored; once expressed and validated, these parts can be integrated back into the whole Self. I see my work as a weaving of ancient and modern wisdoms and traditions.

‍

“I clearly remember the moment in which I realized that the temazkal would be my way of life, it was the first round of hot stones, we were inside this womb of mother earth, I sit facing East and when it opened the door, the light came in and I looked at the fire in front of me and said to myself… This is what I like! This is what connects me with my heart!

Being on the ground, feeling the wind that refreshes the skin! That's when I said, this is where I want to be! This is where I want to walk!”
