The flow of Life retreat
BRAZIL
24th February - 2nd March 2027
In the heart of Brazil, where sacred waters meet ancient forests,
we invite you to step beyond the noise of daily life and into a soul-awakening journey.

We are delighted to offer a pioneering retreat, weaving together trauma-informed therapeutic practice, embodied work, transformative ceremonies, and the profound wisdom and living traditions of Indigenous peoples of Brazil.
Our retreat is designed with an unusually high level of care, professional experience, and therapeutic support, offering a rare meeting point between contemporary psychological support and ancient ceremonial traditions.
The retreat centre, near Rio de Janeiro, is a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by mountains, forest trails, waterfalls, and crystal-clear natural pools. Here, you are invited to find inner peace, reconnect with your divine essence, and feel deeply nourished by nature.
The team brings extensive experience across psychotherapy, trauma resolution, somatic practice, breathwork, and ceremonial work. Every element of the retreat has been thoughtfully designed to support participants before, during, and after their experience, including structured preparation and comprehensive integration.
We intentionally limit the retreat to 20 participants. This is to ensure that the group can be held safely and attentively throughout the journey. A high facilitator-to-participant ratio allows for a level of individual support that is rarely possible in larger retreat settings. The result is a highly held container in which participants can go deeply into their experience while remaining supported, witnessed and grounded.
Let the land hold you and the wisdom of the Earth awaken within you.
Alongside the therapeutic framework, we enter into relationship with the Fulni-ô Indigenous people, drawing on their ceremonial traditions and our long-standing relationship with them. Ceremony, nature and embodied experience become part of a broader therapeutic journey, rather than experiences that stand separately from it.
From preparation, through the retreat itself, to integration afterwards, the intention is to create the conditions for meaningful transformation while respecting the complexity and responsibility that this kind of work requires.
A small group. An experienced multidisciplinary team. Deep therapeutic support. Ancient ceremonial wisdom. And the time and space to allow something genuinely transformative to unfold.

She is devoted to meeting each person with authenticity and acceptance, walking alongside them on the path to wholeness, a shared return to the sacred.
"Attending this retreat was one of the most profound experiences of my life. It’s almost impossible to fully describe the depth of what unfolds, it goes far beyond anything you can read or expect. Andrea holds the space with such strength and grace that you feel completely supported to go into your own unique process. I left feeling deeply changed in ways I am still discovering."
Amanda Fidler, UK
''Andrea holds the space with great care and integrity. Her presence is both grounded and heartfelt, and she supports the group with genuine attention to every detail.''
Ines Gutierrez, Spain
''I arrived feeling disconnected and dysregulated, and left feeling grounded, peaceful, and more in tune with myself than I have in years.
Every element of the retreat was thoughtfully designed, and the experience left a lasting impression. I felt truly held every step of the way''
