In the heart of the rainforest and surrounded by the pure energy of the Atlantic Ocean, we invite you to a profound journey of self-discovery, healing and reconnection with nature. This retreat is an immersion into the ancestral medicines,where we will work with Ayahuasca, and others master plants to unblock and release the deepest energies of your being.
What makes this retreat unique is its duality.The journey goes from the spiritual intensity of the ceremonies in the jungle to the space of peace and reflection offered by a beach paradise,where you can integrate and heal. Through this journey, the ceremonial work is complemented by a space for relaxation and deep connection,creating a transformative experience at all levels.
Dive into the ancient wisdom of the master plants, while aligning ourselves with the rhythms of the Earth and cosmic consciousness. This is an experience authentic and transformative,where you will not only find tools for your personal growth, but also the opportunity to support the local communities that safeguard this ancestral knowledge.
We are waiting for you so that, together, we can walk this path towards the healing, balance and reconnection in a unique natural environment.
Located on the southern coast of the state of Bahia, Brazil,Serra Grande is a natural refuge of incomparable beauty. This corner of the world, where the Atlantic Rainforest merging with the ocean, offers a vibrant and lively environment, ideal for deep connection with nature and awakening of consciousness.
Serra Grande is part of the ecological corridor of the Atlantic Forestone of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. Home to unique species of flora and fauna, this region is a living reminder of the interconnectedness of all beings. Its dense forests are home to howler monkeys, toucans, iridescently coloured butterflies and sacred medicinal plants,protected by the jungle as part of ancestral knowledge.
Crystal clear rivers, hidden waterfalls and meandering trails invite us to a sensory exploration, where nature becomes a silent teacher guiding the process of healing and transformation.
Since time immemorial, this territory has been considered sacred by the native communities, who have understood its healing power. The energy of the land in Serra Grande vibrates with a special frequency, allowing those who venture into its interior to experience a deep connection with their essential self.
Here, the jungle is a living temple. The songs of the wind in the trees, the rhythm of the waves on the shore and the pulsation of the earth create a symphony that reminds us of oneness with all that exists. This place is a portal for awakening, where the master plants find fertile soil to reveal their teachings and guide those seeking healing and expansion of consciousness.
Serra Grande is also a melting pot of cultures, where indigenous, Afro-Brazilian and local traditions intertwine in a harmonious dance. Its history is marked by respect for the land and its cycles, passed down from generation to generation by those who have guarded the knowledge of the forest.
In addition, this place has been a refuge for travellers, seekers and guardians of ancestral wisdom, becoming a meeting point for those who long to return to the essential: the simplicity of life in harmony with nature.
Connect with medicine in the context of the forest, connecting with the spirit of the territory.
Connect with the heart in an expansive and introspective way to integrate what has been learned, in the land of origin of Cacao.
Daily accompaniment through a therapeutic space of listening and reflection where we can integrate our understanding of medicine.
A moment in which the being manifests itself by awakening a vibratory state of presence and expansion.
Baños da floresta, tobacco cleaning, Kambo....
Connections with indigenous people and communities to learn from their culture and traditions.
A connection with the land where we are, to comprehend how we relate to it.
We will visit the different places and natural wonders of this unique environment.
On the last days we will settle the experience by integrating and relaxing on the beach, offering it to the sea and to life.
Throughout this process you are fully accompanied, sustained and supported by the person leading the ceremony, like a father accompanying his child, or a mother holding and nurturing her little one as she wanders on the journey within, taking giant steps towards a shift in consciousness.

Amorawa inspires me and accompanies me in the transit from the circumference of my existence towards the pulsating life that flows in gushes from the most sacred centre of my being, towards that space where all beings beat in a single heart of light and love, blessed and sheltered in the infinite love of our Mother Earth.

My experience with ayahuasca was a before and after. I arrived at the retreat with my self-esteem as one might say from the
floors. And at the end I felt something that every person should be able to experience, because it cannot be explained in words.
I encourage everyone to experience it because it gives a lot of energy and peace.

During our retreat, we will first stay in a beautiful retreat centre in the middle of the jungle, next to a river that will accompany us with its singing. There, in shared rooms, we will immerse ourselves in living nature, connecting with its pure and regenerating energy.
Later on, we will move to the coast, where cosy flats await us on the beach at Serra Grande. A unique enclave where the immensity of the ocean and the sea breeze invite us to integrate everything we have experienced, in harmony with the natural rhythm of the Earth.

Is it necessary to follow a diet beforehand?
Yes, it is common and widely recommended to follow a diet at least 3-4 days before taking ayahuasca.
The diet aims to prepare the body and mind for the ayahuasca experience, as this medicinal plant can interact with certain foods and medicines, and the diet can help to avoid complications or discomfort during the ceremony. In addition, the diet can facilitate a deeper connection to the medicine and the purification process.
Here is a general guide to the recommended diet and the foods that are not recommended before taking ayahuasca:
Recommended diet before ayahuasca:
Abstain from drugs and medicinesAvoid the use of psychoactive substances, such as alcohol, marijuana, recreational drugs and certain medications. If you are taking prescription medications, it is important to consult with a health professional about whether it is safe to temporarily discontinue their use.
Light foodsOpt for a light and simple diet to facilitate purification and avoid stomach upset. This includes fresh vegetables, fruits, light soups and whole grains.
Avoid processed foods and high-fat foods.Avoid processed, fried or high-fat foods, as they can hinder digestion and the experience during the ceremony.
Avoid stimulant foodsAvoid foods containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea and chocolate, as they can interfere with the ayahuasca process and affect the quality of the experience.
Avoid foods rich in tyramineTyramine is an amino acid found in certain foods that can interact with ayahuasca, potentially causing unwanted side effects. Examples are aged cheeses, sausages, red wine and fermented foods.
Avoid foods rich in tyryptophanTryptophan is an amino acid found in certain foods and can influence serotonin in the body. It is advisable to avoid foods rich in tryptophan before the ayahuasca ceremony. Examples are turkey, chicken, and dairy products.
The following are some of the most important contraindications for taking master plants:
Heart disease and high blood pressureThese remedies may have stimulating effects on the cardiovascular system, which could be risky for people with heart problems or high blood pressure.
Psychiatric disordersPeople who have a history of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or severe anxiety and depressive disorders, should avoid using these plants, as they may exacerbate these disorders.
Use of medicines and drugsSome drugs can interact negatively with ayahuasca, especially those that affect the central nervous system or serotonin. It is also important to avoid taking other drugs before or during ayahuasca.
PregnancyPregnant women should avoid consumption due to possible unknown effects on the foetus.
BreastfeedingNot recommended for use during breast-feeding, as the active ingredients may pass into breast milk and affect the baby.
