The Trinity

Three sacred living lineages. One desert sky. A brief crossroads in time.

Sky Lodge Safari Camps · Jaisalmer, Rajasthan · Last week of every month, October 2026 – April 2027

Every so often, paths that were never meant to cross meet at a single point in time. For seven nights each month, at the edge of the golden dunes of Jaisalmer — where the desert silence is older than memory — three distinct shamanic traditions of the world come together under one sky.

From the Andes and the Amazon comes Saira, born in Cusco, carrying ceremony, medicine music, sacred dance, and the living breath of the Inka and Q'ero traditions. From the old European mystery schools comes Kelian Kamil, founder of Mara, The Guild for Ancient Wisdom, with the archetypal sciences — a precise, disciplined path to the hidden structures of reality. And from the mountains of Austria comes Julie, Herbal Witch of the Alps, bearing hand-harvested herbs and a plant wisdom handed down woman to woman through generations of her family.

This is Trinity energy: three lineages that grew up continents apart, each whole in itself, meeting in symbiosis for a brief moment. For those seven days it becomes possible to receive the lessons, wisdom, and insights of all three at once — and to integrate their essence into your own being. Not a performance of shamanism, but a week of genuine transmission — plant wisdom, voice, hand, symbol, ceremony, dance, smoke, and fire — practices you carry home and weave into your life.

The Three Living Lineages

Your Guides

Saira — Shaman, Yogini, Dancer · Andean & Amazonian Lineages, Cusco, Peru

Born in Cusco, Saira is a shaman, musician, dancer, and yoga teacher whose path integrates ancestral Andean and Amazonian wisdom. Her work encompasses energetic and spiritual cleansings, space purifications, coca leaf readings, sacred offerings to Pachamama, Karpay (initiations and transmissions), cacao ceremonies, and floral blessing baths — all accompanied by medicine music and Ikaros, the healing songs of the Amazon. She is also trained in the art of the Temazcal sweat lodge.

An Ashtanga Yoga teacher trained directly in the lineage of Sharath Jois and practising since 2014, Saira opens each morning of the retreat with pranayama, meditation, and asana. Her dance training spans Eastern Fusion and Peruvian folkloric forms — including three years as an official dancer in Cusco's Inti Raymi — and, after studying music and dance in India, she also became a Kalbelia dancer. From this lifelong devotion she developed her proprietary Sacred Fusion Dance methodology, designed to elevate human vibration and consciousness.

Kelian Kamil — Shaman & Founder of Mara, The Guild for Ancient Wisdom · European Archetypal & Paganic Traditions

Kelian Kamil is dedicated to universal principles and profound work with archetypes. His teaching gives people the knowledge and tools to understand the hidden structures of reality and to master their own lives as conscious creators. In his words: "True magic is not an illusion — it is the result of intuition, discipline, and the courage to turn the invisible into action."

His body of work includes The Golden Book — a free introductory text on the trinity of human existence, recommended reading before the retreat; The Greatest Game of Life — his main work on cosmic archetypes and the disciplined practice of real-time magic; and The Archetype Card Deck & Kosmograms — 21 archetypes rendered as symbolic portals spanning the Material, Manifest, and Mental realms, used for reading, meditation, and ritual work. During the retreat, Kelian teaches directly from this system.

Julie — Herbal Witch of the Alps · Alpine Herbal Traditions, Austria

I am Julie, an herbal witch from the Austrian Alps. I feel deeply connected to nature, the changing seasons, and the traditional knowledge that has been passed down through my family for generations.

My knowledge did not begin with me. It was entrusted to me by my great-grandmother — knowledge of herbs, their traditional uses, and the close relationship between people and the natural world. What she had learned from the women before her, she passed on to me, and in this way a piece of our family knowledge has been carried through the generations.

I feel honoured to grow, care for, and harvest many kinds of plants. For me, being an herbal witch is first and foremost about connection, traditional knowledge, and a respectful relationship with nature. Plants are at the heart of my work: I gather them with care, explore their traditional uses and stories, and share this knowledge through herbal blends, traditional preparations, herbal smoke rituals, and simple practices inspired by the natural world.

My work is also shaped by the traditions of the Alpine region — the Sonnwendfeuer midsummer fires, the smoking of homes and farms during the Rauhnächte, and the old Perchten and Krampus customs. They reflect the way people have long marked the changing seasons, connected with nature, and passed stories and customs from one generation to the next. Especially in wintertime, there is so much magic in these mystic traditions.

During the retreat, I will gently accompany your journey with hand-harvested herbs from the Alps. Through herbal teas, the subtle scent of smoke, and simple herbal rituals, I invite you to slow down, soften, and connect more deeply with yourself. The herbs become a gentle thread throughout the retreat — creating moments of warmth, grounding, stillness, and reflection. My approach is intuitive and personal, meeting each participant where they are and choosing the herbs and rituals that feel right for the moment: sometimes a warm cup of tea, sometimes the scent of herbs carried through the space, or simply a quiet moment of connection with a plant.

A little ancient knowledge.
The scent of herbs and smoke.
The warmth of a fire.
The stories of our ancestors.
And the mountains that have witnessed it all.

Guest Guides

Karishma Sapera — Kalbelia gypsy dancer from Rajasthan and master of the elements of power: fire, wings, silks, and sword. She teaches and performs throughout the week.

Vinesh — expert in the science of plant medicine, teaching shamanic herbs, the study of medicinal plants of India, and the Ayurvedic pharmacopeia, along with the craft of plant medicine elixirs and brews — mastering synergy with the compounds of flora.

The Seven-Day Journey

Each day awakens a faculty of the shaman in sequence — the symbol, the voice, the hand, the medicine, the craft, the eye, and finally, ceremony itself — with Julie's herbs as the gentle thread running through every day.

The Daily Rhythm

Every day of the retreat includes:

• Morning Ashtanga yoga with Saira (7:15–8:30 AM)
• Three vegetarian meals
• The all-day Herb Table of teas, tonics, and adaptogens
• Julie's herbal teas, herbal smoke, and quiet plant rituals, woven gently through the day
• The evening Conversational Word & Singing Circle — a space to share without judgment, with focus held on the one sharing
• Evening dance celebrations, Sufi music, and Kalbelia performances

Botanical Allies & The Herb Table

Throughout the retreat, a living apothecary remains open to all guests:

• Ceremonial cacao in traditional shamanic preparation
• Hand-harvested Alpine herbs — Julie's herbal teas, blends, and herbal smoke rituals from the Austrian Alps, chosen intuitively for the moment
• Heart and sleep botanicals — blue lotus, damiana, passionflower, mugwort, mullein, and fennel, as teas and smoking blends (non-psychedelic)
• Adaptogenic mushrooms — reishi, cordyceps, and lion's mane for energy and rest
• Vijaya preparations — available only under medical supervision and Ayurvedic prescription from CBDstore.in, for those clinically appropriate

Every offering is always optional and explained before it is given — you are welcome to decline any of them.

What's Included

• Seven nights' accommodation in traditional desert tents at Sky Lodge Safari Camps
• All vegetarian meals throughout the retreat
• All teachings and ceremonies with all three lead facilitators and guest guides
• Materials for painting, talisman-making, and prop-making
• Pre-arrival health intake and consultation, plus health consultations during the retreat
• All botanical offerings from the Herb Table, including Julie's Alpine herbs
• Transfers between Gadisar Lake and the camp on arrival and departure days

Before You Come

We ask every guest to complete a confidential health intake before arrival, followed by a consultation with our Ayurvedic physician. This is care, not paperwork — the Temazcal sweat lodge in particular asks something real of the body, and several of the plants we work with have contraindications. We would rather know.

Please tell us if you:

• are pregnant or nursing
• live with a heart condition, or high or low blood pressure
• have a history of seizures
• take prescription medication of any kind
• have asthma, a respiratory condition, or sensitivity to smoke — herbal smoke rituals and smoking blends are part of the week

None of these necessarily excludes you. Several herbs are not suitable in pregnancy, and the sweat lodge can be held differently — or alongside rather than within — for some guests. We will simply shape the week around you.

In the Temazcal, nobody is asked to stay longer than they can. The door opens between every round, and on request at any time. Stepping out is a complete and respected part of the practice, never a failure of it. No Vijaya preparations are dispensed on the day of the sweat lodge — heat, ceremony, and cannabis are a poor combination, and we hold that night clear.

Who This Retreat Is For

Seekers, artists, dancers, healers, and anyone ready to move from reading about the mysteries to living inside them for seven days. No prior experience of yoga, ceremony, or magical practice is required — only openness, and the willingness to take what you receive from three traditions back into your life.

As Kelian says: a truly good, healing influence lasts only a short time, but it changes a person profoundly. As Saira lives it: love in all. And as Julie reminds us: a little ancient knowledge, the scent of herbs and smoke, the warmth of a fire.
