I am super excited to share this retreat with you.
After being there last year, the only way to describe this experience is magical. It is truly amazing.
We will be staying in Bruzios, Brazil a magical spot about 2.5 hours outside of Rio de Janeiro.
Enjoy 8 days/7 nights with me in magical Bruzios Brazil. Our time together is all about transformation & healing all while taking the time to rest and rejuvenate mind, body and soul.
This trip is designed to nourish your soul and feed your body. There is daily yoga practice, but also plenty of time to eat, drink, explore and have some personal time.
A typical day starts fresh fruit and coffee. Some days begin with a hike but there is always yoga @ 9. A home cooked breakfast follows.
Then it's time to walk to the beach. Sit, swim, eat or shop with the vendors. It's a blast.
Head back to the house around 4 to get cleaned up followed by dinner.
After, maybe a sound bath, a ceremony or just hang out or go into town.
Town is a 3 mile cab ride away and filled with shops, restaurants and charming places to explore.
We will also have access to 2 local shamans who will be doing some special healing sessions including the offering of plant medicine if you should chose (extra fee for plant medicine other than cacao and hape.)
We will be staying at Mara Vilha Retreat Center. We will be the only ones staying at the resort so this will be a totally safe and special experience.
