Ayahuasca Retreat in Brazil - Festejo de Maio 2026

Not Your Typical Amazon Retreat

Many retreats offer beautiful and comfortable settings where the jungle sits just outside the window. While the forest may be nearby, the environment often still feels familiar- almost like being back home, just surrounded by greenery.

Our journey is different. Instead of recreating comfort in the jungle, we step into the heart of it, the origin of the medicine itself. We travel into the lower and middle Amazon rainforest to explore the land in its pure and living form. This experience invites participants to move beyond comfort and into exploration – building resilience, deep connection with nature, and a renewed relationship with our own True Nature.

We spend time with Indigenous communities, learning from their wisdom, traditions, and relationship with the jungle that has carried these medicines for generations.

It is an opportunity to step closer to the source- to experience the jungle as it truly is, and to deepen our understanding of the medicine through the land, the culture, and the people who protect it.

This journey offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with nature in it’s purest form.

‍Experience the once-in-a-lifetime journey into the heart of the Amazon going into the depth, mystery, and healing power of Grandmother Medicine and Kambo, and feel the call to deepen your relationship with these sacred medicines and their origins.

‍

Return to the source, to the land, the jungle, and the ancient traditions that carry the wisdom of these medicines. Surrounded by the living intelligence of the Amazon rainforest, we will step into a space of deep healing, renewal, and reconnection. More than a retreat, this is a journey of integration, remembrance, and transformation. This experience is designed for those who feel called to go beyond ceremony alone – to understand the spirit, culture, and lineage behind the medicines, and to cultivate a deeper, more conscious relationship with them.

Grandmother Healing Ceremonies

Facilitated by Brazilian facilitators, shamans and indigenous leaders in the style of the Umbandaime, Santa Daime and Indigenous tradition. Consecrated by the healing energies, nature spirits and protective guardians of this magical land.

Kambo Healing Sessions

Participants will receive the opportunity to cleanse and heal with Kambo (frog) medicine. Often referred to as the “vaccine of the jungle” by the indigenous peoples of Brazil, this potent purgative is known for its power to purify and heal on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Kambo is native to this region of the Amazon and will be expertly administered by one of Brazil’s most seasoned and sought after practitioners, Davi de Paula.
