At Eden Sanctuary, our mission is to create a safe, grounded, and welcoming environment where people can pause, turn inward, and reconnect with their true nature.
Located in the natural surroundings of Vale do Capão, Eden hosts immersive retreats held in a light, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere.
More than a retreat, each experience is a journey. Alongside inner work, participants walk forest trails, visit iconic waterfalls, and reconnect with nature’s healing intelligence. Our vision is to support self-awareness, emotional healing, and inner clarity through experiences rooted in trust, freedom of choice, and personal responsibility. Nothing is imposed — every practice is an invitation. When we slow down and meet ourselves with presence, clarity, balance, and simple joy.

You will arrive in Brazil through Salvador International Airport (SSA).
If you are coming from Europe, there are convenient direct flights to Salvador from Lisbon with TAP Air Portugal and from Madrid with Air Europa.
From the moment you begin your journey, you will not be alone.
If you do not speak Portuguese, that is absolutely fine — our team speaks English and we will be in close contact with you, guiding you step by step and helping with everything you need along the way.
From Salvador, we will be happy to help you organise your transfer to Eden Sanctuary, in the way that feels most comfortable for you:

Exceptional life changing experience
My experience at Eden Santuário could not have been better! Paul has found an absolutely exquisite property to develop into the most ideal setting for receiving ayahuasca and other traditional medicines that I could ever imagine. The ceremonies are beautifully and safely conducted with experienced practitioners with connections to the indigenous community. The retreat itself is well structured with interesting and fulfilling optional activities available, comfortable living quarters and excellent food prepared with love. No detail is missed by Paul, who is an ideal host to ensure that each guest gets the most out their own individual journey. I can’t possibly recommend this place any higher. Do yourself the biggest favor you’ve ever done for yourself and sign up for the next retreat that you can hear. I promise you that you will thank me later for this advice!
