Amazonia, Brazil

Discover yourself through nature's most sacred teachings, guided by the Yawanawá people of the Amazon. There is a place where time moves differently, where ancestral wisdom pulses through every leaf, and where the silence of the forest speaks directly to the heart.

The Yawanawá are deeply connected to spirituality and healing through nature. Their sacred practices, prayers, herbal baths, medicinal clays, chants, and ceremonies with forest medicines, are carried out with wisdom and responsibility, offering a path of purification and reconnection with spirit.

Held in Nova Esperança Village, in the Rio Gregório Indigenous Territory, accommodation is intentionally simple: shared cabins, access to drinking water, bathrooms, and showers. Reaching the village is part of the experience itself, a multi-hour boat journey along the Gregório River through untouched jungle. The retreat unfolds organically, without a fixed schedule. Participation in ceremonies with forest medicines is always optional. Meals are local, simple, and homemade.

This is complete disconnection from ordinary life, held by people whose relationship with the forest goes back generations.
