A beautiful message from dear Samantha about our last retreat.
A beautiful message from dear Samantha about our last retreat
I had a truly beautiful and unforgettable experience at this retreat. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely cared for. Our group was small which created a very personal atmosphere and allowed everyone to connect on a deeper level.
The setting itself was amazing: simple, grounded, and surrounded completely by nature. It felt peaceful and authentic rather than commercial. Every day included activities like morning yoga, gentle hikes, and time to connect with the incredible environment around us. Being immersed in nature was already healing by itself.
What made the biggest difference for me, though, was the people facilitating the retreat. The team created a space that felt safe, respectful, and supportive at every moment. I especially appreciated how Ayahuasca and the ceremonies were treated with such respect and care. Nothing felt forced, dramatic, or overwhelming. There was a beautiful balance between structure and freedom.
My own experience during the ceremonies was incredibly powerful. I had deeply emotional moments, and many meaningful memories and feelings surfaced that I had not connected with for years. It felt like reconnecting not only with myself, but also with love, nature, and emotions that had been buried for a long time. Some moments were intense, but I always felt supported and held throughout the process.
Of course, experiences like these are deeply personal and difficult to fully explain with words, but for me this retreat was genuinely magical and transformative. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and incredibly grateful.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for an authentic, respectful, and beautiful experience.
Chapada Diamantina National Park — Home to Eden and a Unique Side of Brazil
Eden is located in Vale do Capão, in the mountains of Chapada Diamantina, Bahia — a region shaped over more than a billion years and known today for its dramatic plateaus, waterfalls, rivers, caves and natural swimming pools.
Surrounded by this landscape, Eden is a place not only for retreats, but also for rest and exploring Chapada. You can stay with us independently, with the possibility of arranging guided hikes, yoga, massage and other individual treatments.
