The Huni Kuin Retreat offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage and spiritual traditions of the Huni Kuin people, an indigenous tribe from the Brazilian Amazon. This retreat is designed to provide participants with a profound connection to nature, community, and self through a variety of traditional practices and ceremonies.
Key Features of the Retreat:

Rapé and Sananga Rituals: Participants will engage in traditional Rapé (a sacred tobacco snuff) and Sananga (eye drops made from Amazonian plants) rituals, both known for their cleansing and grounding properties.
Kambo Sessions: Experience the purifying effects of Kambo, a traditional frog medicine used to detoxify the body and strengthen the immune system.
