From the bedding with Maestro Tabacco, the powerful plant master from the Shipibo tradition in the Amazon region of Peru, we travel through 7 (wind) directions. These directions are rooted in the South American tradition of Inca shamanism. We weave these worlds together in a dance of intentional movement, sacred attunement, and co-creation with the elements of existence.
In this line, we encounter the elements as living forces with consciousness. When you invite them with respect, they mirror your inner state and help you ground, focus, and manifest your intention.
Each direction lasts 15 minutes. After that, we turn inward for 15 minutes in the center for integration and embodiment.
- south water
We start in the South, where Water carries awareness of flow and renewal. We let go of the old, embody what no longer serves us, and shed our old skin in dance, while Water carries away, purifies, and creates space for what wants to emerge.
- west earth
We enter the West, where Earth brings awareness of solidity and transformation. We breathe through tension and shadow, dance these parts out, let die what has outgrown itself, and receive the supporting power of Earth so that the new form can take root.
- north air
We turn to the North, where Air brings awareness of clarity and vision. We listen to our inner compass, move with simplicity and precision, and allow Air to clarify our intention and make it light.

The Integration Center 15 minutes
Finally, we turn our attention inward. We allow the elements within us to come together, integrate in the present moment, and embody more wholeness, so that what moved inwardly can manifest outwardly.
