Identity & Reinvention Retreat in Rio's Artistic Santa Teresa

The retreat is hosted at CasaJOMO (Joy of Missing Out), a serene B&B in the heart of Santa Teresa—Rio's bohemian artist district. Built in 1930, the house spreads across three levels with beautiful hardwoods, clay tiles, and white walls, featuring nine rooms, multiple lounges, a lush garden, and a rooftop terrace with a swimming pool. This is a home designed for slowing down, with every corner inviting conversation or quiet reflection. Your host, Dacia, has a talent for bringing people together, and the small-group setting ensures a personal experience.

Unlike retreats that focus on fixing or teaching, this one invites you to explore life's questions together. 'Maps & Mirrors,' the retreat's framework, combines boutique hospitality with thoughtful conversation. Each day includes guided group discussions on topics like identity, belonging, purpose, and reinvention, drawing on everyone's experiences. There's also yoga three times a week with a local yogi, Amla, and samba dance classes with Anderson, a famous dancer. These activities aren't just add-ons; they're ways to connect with yourself and others when words aren't enough.

What sets this experience apart is its commitment to curiosity over certainty. You're not there to be told who you are, but to explore who you're becoming. With writing workshops, art therapy, and plenty of free time to wander the neighborhood, you have the freedom to engage as deeply as you like. The result is a retreat that feels less like a structured program and more like a creative reset, leaving you with new perspectives, new friends, and a deeper sense of what you're looking for—whether that's clarity, community, or just a moment to breathe.
