About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Embark on a Journey of Transformation in the Heart of the Amazon

From May 3 to 13, 2025, immerse yourself in the sacred jungle of Mutum, Brazil, for a profound experience with the Yawanawa people. Guided by Gordana Jakopcevic and Christopher Chairs, this unique retreat invites you to reconnect with your essence through the transformative power of indigenous medicines and ancient traditions.

Over the course of this 10-day retreat, you will be guided through sacred ceremonies designed to facilitate healing, liberation, and self-discovery.

Sacred Medicines: Kambo & Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca: Guided by Yawanawa masters, this sacred plant medicine offers a journey into the depths of your spirit. Accompanied by the ancient chants and saitis, you’ll explore unresolved wounds, release the burdens of the past, and access profound spiritual truths beyond the illusions of the ego.

Kambo: Derived from the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, this medicine is applied in a carefully prepared ritual. Kambo detoxifies the body, strengthens the immune system, and restores energetic harmony. Each session is a rebirth, allowing you to return to a state of natural balance and vitality.

A Space for Healing and Connection
This retreat is more than an event; it is a sacred container where tradition, spirituality, and nature converge. Every moment is designed to support your transformation—whether it’s through the medicine, connection with the Yawanawa people, or the healing energy of the jungle itself.

Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step into the sacred, awaken your spirit, release into freedom and reconnect with the truth of who you are.
