MindFlowers Trinity Shamanic Retreat — Three Sacred Living Lineages

Location: Sky Lodge Safari Camps, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India
Duration: 7 nights / 8 days
Price: ₹1,50,000 per guest

Experience a unique seven-night journey into traditional wisdom, nature, creativity, and spiritual exploration at the edge of the golden dunes of the Thar Desert.

The MindFlowers Trinity Shamanic Retreat brings together three distinct traditions: Peruvian Andean and Amazonian wisdom, European archetypal and Paganic practices, and Alpine herbal traditions from Austria. Guided by three lead facilitators and experienced guest practitioners, the retreat offers an immersive programme of ceremonies, music, movement, herbal learning, creative practices, and community connection.

Three living lineages
Andean and Amazonian traditions — Saira

Explore traditional offerings to Pachamama, ceremonial cacao, medicine music, Ikaros, sacred dance, and guided spiritual practices rooted in Saira’s Peruvian background.

European archetypal and Paganic traditions — Kelian Kamil

Discover archetypal symbolism, Kosmograms, symbolic card work, intention, and practical exercises inspired by European mystery traditions.

Alpine herbal traditions — Julie

Learn about traditional Alpine plant knowledge through hand-harvested herbs, herbal teas, botanical preparations, and rituals inspired by seasonal customs and family traditions.

A journey of learning and connection
The retreat programme includes morning Ashtanga yoga, meditation, shamanic painting, music and chanting, talisman-making, archetypal practices, herbal workshops, sacred dance, Kalbelia dance experiences, Sufi music, group reflection, and a traditional Temazcal sweat lodge experience.

Guest guide Karishma Sapera shares the cultural traditions of Kalbelia dance, while Vinesh introduces participants to medicinal plants of India and traditional Ayurvedic plant knowledge.

Each day has its own theme, creating space for learning, creative expression, cultural exchange, and personal reflection.

Accommodation and daily experience
Guests stay for seven nights in traditional desert tents at Sky Lodge Safari Camps. The retreat includes three vegetarian meals daily, morning yoga, guided sessions, workshop materials, botanical offerings, and transfers between Gadisar Lake and the camp on arrival and departure days.

The Herb Table offers a selection of botanical teas and preparations. All plant offerings and activities are optional, and participants may choose not to take part in any practice.

Who is this retreat for?
This retreat welcomes seekers, artists, dancers, wellness enthusiasts, and people interested in traditional knowledge, spiritual practices, herbal traditions, and meaningful cultural experiences.

No previous experience of yoga, ceremonies, or archetypal practices is required. An open mind, respect for different traditions, and a willingness to participate thoughtfully are encouraged.

Health and wellbeing
A confidential pre-arrival health intake and consultation with an Ayurvedic physician help the team understand individual needs and relevant contraindications. Certain activities, including the Temazcal sweat lodge and smoke-based practices, require additional consideration. Participation can be adapted where appropriate, and guests may step away from activities at any time.
