Transformative Ayahuasca & Self-Discovery Wellness Retreat in Bahia

This Ayahuasca and Self-Discovery retreat represents a unique approach to plant medicine ceremonies, placing special emphasis on creating a quiet, individual atmosphere regardless of the number of participants. The retreat is organized around your desired dates, allowing you to participate in this special experience at your own pace and without distractions from larger group dynamics.

The heart of the retreat is the carefully facilitated Ayahuasca ceremony led by Shaman Edu, whose integrative center is located in the immediate neighborhood. Unlike mass ceremonies, your experience is completely tailored to you and your companions. The ceremony takes place outdoors under the stars, with the option of up to three servings of the sacred Ayahuasca brew, complemented by traditional practices including Rapé (a herbal snuff blown into the nose) and Sananga (natural plant eye drops that enhance receptivity).

What truly sets this retreat apart is the personal Guardian assigned to each participant throughout the entire ceremony. This dedicated guardian angel watches over you at all times, responding to your reactions and experiences to ensure a positive course of events. The all-night ceremony concludes with a morning breakfast and integration discussion with your shaman and guardian about the insights and experiences of the night.

The retreat thoughtfully prepares you for the ceremony through daily yoga and meditation sessions led by Esperança, a multi-talented sports expert who brings years of Capoeira training to her practice. Four luxurious full-body massages by Leide, whose masterful combination of traditional, relaxing, hot stone, and Ventôse techniques, help release physical tension and open your body to deeper healing. The organic, plant-based diet—featuring fresh fruit platters for lunch, healthy homemade dinners, and daily detox juices—is specifically designed to prepare your system for the ceremony and enhance your overall experience.

Before participation, every guest completes a thorough anamnesis form that Shaman Edu carefully evaluates to ensure your ceremony is a positive and unforgettable event. Certain medical criteria and medications may lead to exclusion from participation, demonstrating the retreat's commitment to your safety and wellbeing above all else.
