AYAHUASCA RETREATS
WITH SHANENAWA

Shanenawa means: people from the blue bird. We are a small group that livis inside amazon forest. We are all sons and daughters of the same mother Earth. The ancestral protectors of the forest are still here.

​Promoting the ancestral rituals with our traditional medicine its a way to preserve the knowledge and identity of our people in the 21st Century. Its a resistence in such a globalized world that tends to invisibilize indigenous cultures. Be welcome to visit us and be part of this fulture.

SACRED PILLARS

Our retreats are structured around four core pillars:

  • A real connection with nature through traditional ceremonies and integration of our body and mind through spiritual integration practices. Ancestral Ceremonies • Yoga Classes • Meditation • Pranayama
  • During their life, the Shanenawa use, as a way to honor their ancient wisdom, plant medicines for healing and transformation. • Ayahusca • Rapé
  • We aim for sustainable tourism. We recommend not bringing anything that isn't essential. Less plastic means less impact on the village and the environment. • Less Plastic • Leave no traces
  • Safety always comes first. We're in the Amazon, but we have a controlled environment, close to hospitals, and we are prepared for emergencies that may arise. • Close to hospitals • Emergency plan • First aid kit

Ancestral Wisdom

We hold profound respect for the ancestral traditions of the Shanenawa, who are masters of ayahuasca medicine and plant-spirit shamanism in the Amazon.

 

Their healing work carries a deep cultural and medicinal heritage, encompassing sacred rituals, refined practices, a vast cosmological understanding, extensive knowledge of Amazonian medicinal plants, and a powerful ancestral lineage.

Every ceremony follows traditional structures, songs (pakari), and rituals refined over centuries. Working with authentic Shanenawa healers means your ayahuasca ceremonies in Brazil maintain spiritual integrity while benefiting from their deep understanding of how different plants interact with various emotional and spiritual conditions.

The focus of our work lies in deep shadow exploration and soul-level integration, offering profound shamanic healing across all dimensions of being, physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual.
