9-Day Ayahuasca Immersion & Ancestral Wisdom with Madhá-Yawanawá
With Pajé Maná Madhá, Ratsuhá Madhá, Vesku Yawanawá and Runuiná Yawanawá
September 24 - October 3, 2026
This 9-day Amazonian shamanic retreat in the center AmanheSer in southern Brazil offers a rare opportunity to connect with an authentic lineage of Indigenous healing and Amazonian plant medicine traditions. Participants are invited into deep inner transformation through Ayahuasca ceremonies, ancestral healing practices and traditional forest music.
Set in a nature-based retreat center in southern Brazil, this small-group retreat is guided by experienced Amazonian shamans born with the gift of spiritual healing. It offers direct access to sacred plant medicine, including Ayahuasca, within a traditional and supportive ceremonial setting.
Ancestral Healing Traditions of the Amazon
The powerful alliance between the Madhá and Yawanawá peoples brings forth a healing tradition that is extraordinarily rare—even among the indigenous tribes of the Amazon basin. Pajé Maná and his wife, Ratsuhá, are among the very few true shamans who have mastered the intricate art of spiritual healing since early childhood. As sacred guardians of an ancient, unbroken lineage, they are here not only to facilitate deep healing but to help humanity remember its roots.
A Rare Alliance of the Madhá & Yawanawá Peoples
The Madhá are a recently contacted indigenous people, having had their very first encounter with modern civilization less than 40 years ago. This makes their spiritual practices, cosmology, and chants incredibly pure and untouched by commercialization. Combined with the vibrant, heart-opening musical and spiritual tradition of the Yawanawá (represented by Vêsku and Runuiná), this retreat offers a rare bridge directly to the pristine spirit of the Amazon rainforest.An Intimate,
