MEET THE INSTRUCTORS

Madita Böer

Madita Böer is a Healer, Shamanic Teacher, creative writer, speaker and sound performance artist. Madita’s professional career started as a sound engineer for theatre and live concerts. She studied music-science and Spanish literature in Germany. As a musician and sound-technician, she worked on stage and backstage for over seven years, always with the desire to create an atmosphere of supreme sound and atmospheric experience. After a life changing crisis in her early twenties, Madita stopped her stage career and went on a healing quest to heal her body and soul. This was the starting point for her path with her Andean Teachers. Until 2021 Madita led the ecological association EM e.V. as managing director. With her first book publication in 2020 she founded her shamanic school (Mesa School), where she shares her Medicine and passes on the traditional knowledge of the Andean Healers.

Basma Boughanmi

Basma Boughanmi was born in Tunisia from the lineage of multi generations healers and renowned clairvoyants. At 22 years old, out of a set of Egyptian tarot cards randomly presented to her, Basma discovered her gift of cartomancy and started to interact with it. When she became an investigator for official and governmental organizations in France, she started to understand her gift of clairvoyance even more. In 2010, she had a stroke and her life changed forever. She has followed her skills of cartomancy and energy healing unconditionally since then. She practices an ancestral energetic ritual gifted to her by her mother and grandmother: involving the material lead, this oriental tradition helps cleanse and heal the soul. Passed on from generations of healers to their descendants, only few people in the world can practice it. Basma works with people from all backgrounds, geographies and perspectives. As a spiritual coach, she empowers people to reconnect with their inner self and purpose. Her skills in storytelling and understanding are a gift of healing for anyone who encounters Basma.
