At Ayahuasca Retreat Brazil, we believe that every journey toward healing begins with trust, openness, and a safe space where people can truly let go. Hidden in the tropical serenity just outside Salvador da Bahia, our retreat has become a sanctuary for those who seek transformation through the sacred medicine of Ayahuasca.
Among our guests, one story stands out — the journey of B. Schmidt, a 60-year-old music manager from Memphis, USA, whose experience touched everyone here and reminded us why we do what we do.
A New Beginning in Bahia
When B. first arrived at our retreat center, located within the peaceful Pousada Rancho Fundo, he carried the quiet fatigue of a life lived at high speed. Decades of work in the music business had brought him success and travel, but also exhaustion and emotional distance.
What he found in Bahia was different from anything he expected. Instead of a rustic jungle camp, he stepped into a comfortable three-star hotel surrounded by nature, where warmth, care, and authenticity merged. The air smelled of sea and tropical flowers. The rhythm of Brazilian life seemed to slow time itself.
From the first day, he felt at home.
Entering the Sacred Space
Our ceremonies are guided by experienced facilitators with deep respect for the Amazonian and Brazilian traditions of Ayahuasca. Each ceremony is prepared with care, focusing on physical safety, emotional balance, and spiritual openness.
That night, under the southern stars, the group gathered around the altar. The Ayahuasca brew, prepared with sacred intention, was served slowly, respectfully. Silence filled the room. As the medicine began to work, B. felt a storm of memories and emotions rising within.
Later he described it as “the hardest and most beautiful journey I’ve ever taken inside myself.”
There were moments of tears, visions, and reflection. But as the night deepened, something changed. The storm calmed. A lightness appeared. He saw scenes from his life — not as regrets, but as lessons. He understood forgiveness, and for the first time in years, felt peace.
Healing Through Connection
The days following each ceremony are dedicated to integration — gentle walks through nature, meditation, sharing circles, and nourishing Bahian food like Moqueca, a flavorful coconut-fish stew symbolic of local culture.
In those moments, B. began to laugh again. He shared how Ayahuasca had helped him reconnect with his true self — beyond the pressures of career and expectations. “I came here to find peace,” he said, “and I found myself instead.”
On his final day, he told us something we’ll never forget:
“This experience is one of my top five journeys in life — not because it was easy, but because it was real. It showed me who I am and what really matters.”
What Makes Ayahuasca Retreat Brazil Unique
Many people dream of joining an Ayahuasca retreat in South America, but hesitate because they imagine sleeping in hammocks deep in the jungle or feeling unsafe. At Ayahuasca Retreat Brazil, we offer a different path — combining comfort, safety, and authenticity.
Here’s what guests appreciate most:
🌿 Safe and accessible location: Just 30 minutes from Salvador International Airport, yet surrounded by tropical tranquility.
🏡 Comfortable accommodation: Stay in a welcoming three-star guesthouse with private rooms, gardens, and a pool.
🙏 Small groups: Each retreat hosts only a few participants, ensuring personal attention and emotional safety.
🌺 Experienced facilitators: Our team provides guidance, medical screening, and integration support.
🍲 Cultural connection: Enjoy delicious Bahian cuisine and the warm spirit of the local community.
We believe that Ayahuasca’s true magic unfolds when the body feels safe and the heart feels seen.
A Message from Bahia
B. returned to the U.S. lighter, happier, and full of gratitude. A few weeks later, he sent us a message that touched every member of our team:
“If someone had told me that real healing could happen in such a beautiful, peaceful place — with people who truly care — I might not have believed it. But now I know. Coming to Brazil was one of the best choices I’ve ever made.”
His words reflect what so many others have experienced here — a sense of renewal, clarity, and connection that extends far beyond the retreat itself.
At Ayahuasca Retreat Brazil, we are honored to offer one of the best Ayahuasca experiences in South America — not through intensity, but through integrity, love, and presence.
Come as you are. Leave renewed.
