5 Day RESTART Retreat in Bahia

Paul is the Creator and Founder of Eden and has 14 years experience producing and co-facilitating retreats in Brazil and across Europe. 
 A Hatha Yoga instructor and Ayurvedic massage therapist, Paul formed a close relationship with a native Ayahuasquero in 2008 and so began an intensive 3 year shamanic apprenticeship. In 2011, Paul became an initiate of the tradition of Santo Daime in the community of Mapiá, Amazonas. 

Today Paul lives in Aracaju with his partner Thays, where they are students of Gnosis.

Thays is from Aracaju, Brazil. She is a Gnostic Initiate and a Holistic Therapist with specialisations in herbal medicine, Gnostic anthropology, aromatherapy, the study and disintegration of the Ego, mindfulness meditation, energy transmutation, and NLP. 

At the age of 16, she worked voluntarily for the Ibem Spiritist Institute, where she carried out charity work for underprivileged communities. At the age of 18, she migrated to Dr. Fritz's ecumenical hospital, where she served for one year as a close assistant to Dr. Frtiz.

Her relationship with shamanism and ayahuasca began when she was just 19, when she became initiated into the tradition of Santo Daime, whilst also spending time at indigenous communities learning about plant medicine and indigenous practices. Thays later spent 3 years immersed in esoteric study at the Binar Gnostic Monastery in Minas Gerais.
