Sacred Ayahuasca Journey with Huni Kuin Guardians in Brazil

This 8-day sacred retreat is a powerful invitation to reconnect with your essence, guided by Ayahuasca ceremonies, ancestral songs, traditional prayers, and the living wisdom of the forest. Ninawa Pai da Mata is not only a respected chief but also a medicine man and spiritual leader, recognized for his dedication to the sacred plants, the healing songs of his people, and his lifelong commitment to protecting Indigenous traditions. Over the years, he has carried the voice of the Huni Kuin to many parts of the world, sharing ceremonies and teachings that inspire healing, unity, and a deeper connection to nature.

Throughout the 8 days, participants will experience sacred Ayahuasca ceremonies guided by Ninawa and his family, traditional chants, prayers, and teachings that connect you to the wisdom of the forest, moments of silence, reflection, and integration, allowing you to release what no longer serves you and plant seeds of intention for the year ahead. The retreat is held at the Akasha Retreat Center, surrounded by the lush mountains of Rio de Janeiro, offering a peaceful and sacred space ideal for deep immersion.

The retreat philosophy is rooted in honoring Indigenous wisdom and the healing power of nature. We believe that true transformation comes from reconnecting with the Earth and your inner self, supported by a community of like-minded seekers. Our approach is holistic, addressing the mind, body, and spirit through ceremonies, integration, and nourishing food.

The daily experience is designed to balance deep inner work with rest and reflection. Mornings are for gentle awakening and connection, afternoons for nature walks and traditional teachings, and evenings are reserved for ceremonies, prayers, and songs. Throughout, you'll be supported by our experienced facilitators, guardians, and psychologists, ensuring you feel held and safe at every step.

One of the most unique aspects of this retreat is the presence of Ninawa Pai da Mata himself, whose guidance carries a rare strength that touches the heart and transforms lives. The location, Aldeia Akasha, is a nature sanctuary built with natural materials and inspired by bioconstruction and sacred geometry, offering a unique blend of comfort and connection to the land. With a decade of hosting powerful ceremonies and retreats, this is a place where healing and transformation are not just possible but inevitable.
