10-Day Indigenous Ayahuasca Retreat in Southern Brazil
Join us for a unique 9-day retreat at AmanheSer, a peaceful nature-based retreat center in southern Brazil, where participants are invited to experience the healing wisdom of the Amazon through authentic Indigenous traditions, sacred plant medicine and ancestral spiritual practices.
This intimate retreat offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from Indigenous elders who have dedicated their lives to preserving and sharing their people’s healing knowledge. Through traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies, sacred chants, forest music and ancestral healing practices, participants are supported on a journey of self-discovery, emotional healing and spiritual connection.
Guided by Indigenous Wisdom
The retreat is led by Pajé Maná and his wife Ratsuhá, respected spiritual healers from the Madhá people, together with Yawanawá representatives Vêsku and Runuiná. Their collaboration brings together two unique Indigenous traditions of the Amazon, creating a powerful space for healing, learning and cultural exchange.
The Madhá are among the most recently contacted Indigenous peoples of the Amazon. Having had limited contact with modern society until recent decades, many of their spiritual traditions, chants and healing practices remain deeply rooted in their ancestral culture. Combined with the rich ceremonial music and spiritual teachings of the Yawanawá people, this retreat offers participants an opportunity to connect with living Indigenous traditions in a respectful and authentic setting.
A Small and Supportive Retreat Experience
To ensure personal attention and a safe ceremonial environment, participation is limited to a small group. This allows for meaningful interaction with the Indigenous elders and creates a supportive atmosphere throughout the retreat.
Participants may also request individual consultations and personal energy alignment sessions with Pajé Maná, offering additional support for their healing process.
