7-Day Nature & Wellness Immersion in Brazil's Atlantic Forest

The retreat takes place at Oca Yary, a holistic center in the village of Serra Grande, Bahia, surrounded by the Atlantic Forest and bordered by the Tijuipe River. Each day begins with yoga and meditation, followed by activities like meditative hikes, waterfall immersions, sharing circles, and somatic workshops. Ancestral practices such as the Temazcal (a sweat lodge ceremony) and Cacao ritual are central to the experience, offering deep cleansing and heart-opening. Evenings often gather around the fire with music and heartfelt sharing. The program is intentionally designed around the spring season, focusing on emotional balance and renewal. Facilitators include Giovanna, a transpersonal psychologist and yoga instructor; Jamile, a prayer healer and cacao practitioner; and Tainara, a Guarani indigenous singer, bringing a unique blend of indigenous wisdom and therapeutic insight.
