5 Day Yoga, Meditation & Ayahuasca Retreat in Bahia, Brazil

This five-day yoga, meditation, and ayahuasca retreat in Itacaré, Bahia, Brazil is designed for travellers seeking a deeply personal healing experience in an intimate, professionally guided setting. Hosted at Sítio dos Oriundos in the quiet village of Vila Camboinha, it suits anyone ready to explore self-knowledge and inner growth through a carefully tailored combination of bodywork, energy work, and sacred plant medicine ceremonies. The retreat's philosophy centres on meeting each guest exactly where they are. Rather than a one-size-fits-all program, the team shapes every aspect of care to your individual needs. This means your daily schedule and therapeutic sessions are adjusted based on what your body and mind require, creating a container that feels both gentle and rigorously supportive. Bodywork forms a core part of the experience. Guests can receive massages, acupressure, and other hands-on therapies aimed at releasing stored tension and trauma from the physical body. These sessions work alongside energetic healing practices intended to restore balance across emotional, psychological, and physical layers, helping you arrive at each ceremony feeling more grounded and open. Shamanic ceremonies with sacred plant medicines anchor the retreat's consciousness-expanding work. These rituals are held with care and intention, offering participants a doorway into deeper self-awareness. To help process whatever arises, the program includes talking circles and dedicated integration guidance, ensuring that insights gained during ceremony are woven meaningfully into daily life rather than left unexamined. Each day also brings a rhythm of grounding practices. Morning meditation, qi gong, do-in self-massage, guided stretching, and conscious breathing exercises give structure and stability to the journey. These accessible activities require no prior experience and serve as gentle anchors between the more intensive therapeutic and ceremonial sessions. Set in the lush coastal region of Bahia, the retreat location itself plays a quiet role in the healing process. Itacaré is known for its Atlantic rainforest, quiet beaches, and laid-back energy, making it a natural choice for those drawn to combine inner work with the restorative power of the Brazilian landscape. Vila Camboinha offers the seclusion needed for deep reflection while remaining connected to one of Bahia's most beloved coastal towns. Over five days, guests are invited to slow down, listen inward, and engage with a thoughtful blend of traditional and somatic practices. Whether you are navigating a life transition, seeking release from long-held patterns, or simply craving a reset in a meaningful setting, this retreat offers a compact yet comprehensive path toward greater clarity and embodied well-being.
