San Pedro (Wachuma in Quechua) is a sacred cactus, utilized in the Andes for healing purposes for millennia. This medicine serves to heal on emotional, physical, and spiritual planes, reconnecting us to ourselves and to Mother Earth/Pachamama. San Pedro acts as a master teacher plant, a profound gift from the universe, facilitating growth, learning, and awakening, while guiding us towards elevated states of consciousness.

Wachuma reveals to us our inherent divinity and the divinity present in ALL. This represents a beautiful path to self-healing, offering a TRUE understanding of existence and liberating us. San Pedro grants us deeper insight into our life's purpose, clarity, and fosters love for ourselves and for all of creation. This is Heart medicine, fostering a profound connection and working towards the elevation of consciousness.

For over 3,000 years, it has been utilized for healing and spiritual insight in the Andes Mountains region.

Nico Black Elk is a passionate musician, Joyful Medicine Man, courageously walking the path of his spirit. Deeply inspired by the fleeting essence of life, and the mysterious depths of death. Since a young age Nico ventured into the jungles of his homeland Colombia, immersing in the wisdom of indigenous peoples. Through a deep calling of his past lineage. Through active participation in their sacred rituals, he uncovered the profound impact of rhythmic drums and the healing potency of the Voice.

Nico's initiation came at a the young age during his inaugural Ayahuasca ceremony at 16, conducted alongside his mother in Peru's Sacred Valley of Cusco. In this pivotal moment, he received a powerful revelation, setting him on a path of profound connection with plant spirits, devoted to healing and bridging realms. Unknown to him then, this marked the onset of an arduous journey, seeking knowledge and communion with both plant realms and Indigenous elders from diverse American tribes (Tubú Hummurimasa, Mayoruna-Matses, Shipibo-Conibo, Huni-Kuin, Lakota, Bora, Cofán).

This profound connection has since been his guiding light, leading him to live among indigenous communities, where he deepen his knowledge and experience into the intricacies of traditional medicine and the transformative potential of the human voice. His primary focus lies in working with sacred plants such as Washuma, Tobacco, Kambo, Bobinsana, among others and harnessing the healing power of his voice. He specializes in crafting healing remedies, conducting plant baths, and creating altars and singing chants that embody a higher level of healing through the vibration of his voice in various Indigenous languages.

Additionally, Nico has undergone various trainings and apprenticeships, delving deep into the realms of mother Aya and the Noya Rao Master plant dieta. Which he just recently cconlcuded and received the blessings of Abuela Shipiba Mama Loti and the sacred Noya Rao Pipe at his graduation.

Fascinated by the enigmatic guise of the arts as a gateway into igniting transformative / regenerative and imaginative mechanisms of healing and repatterning - Storm works ritualistically with frequency, humans and nature. Storm brings a unique fusion of traditional and avant-garde approaches to their offerings, enriched by ancient traditions and studying ritual theories in performance and embodied praxis. Born in South Africa, Storm has been connected to elemental medicine since childhood, living in the ancient mountains, harvesting wild medicine, listening to the land & exploring sacred sites on the ancient African grid.

“ One of my earliest initiations came from the Pacific Ocean. from age 9-13 I lived on a sailboat with my family, immersed entirely in the evocative currents of nature’s unfathomable forces. Her most profound teaching was surrendering and trusting her intrinsic essence to guide in ebb and flow with the tide.”

Having many catalyzing experiences connected to nature & living a life long nomadic path has certainly shaped many of Storm’s perspectives and experiences that she now integrated into her art and many offerings. You may know her as a regular face in the Berlin Yoga & Sound Medicine community, or maybe in the performance art & electronic music scene.

“Performing sonic rituals to engage audiences in a journey through deep listening and heightening sensory perception is a dream I am constantly weaving through each moment I am gifted to perform for the subconscious, the super conscious, or the lucid dreamer.”

Storm is presently bridging their creative research with their healing praxis from their base in Berlin
