Ancient Wisdom
Healing From & For the Amazon Rainforest
Rooted in the indigenous traditions of the Amazon Rainforest — in service of the forest, the peoples, and those who seek to return to what matters.
Discover our missionManifesto
The word Pajé names the healer — the keeper of ancient wisdom in the villages of the Amazon Rainforest. One who walks between trees and stars, between the visible and the invisible.
For us, this word is a promise: that every retreat, every dieta, every experience, every handmade piece strengthens an indigenous community, keeps their knowledge and memory alive — and helps protect the forest they call home.
Shamanic Knowledge
The dieta is an ancestral indigenous practice — a time of inner retreat, designed by a Pajé, with the accompaniment of a therapist trained in Amazonian traditions.
This is not a diet. It is a dialogue — between your body, the plant, and the forest.
Our dieta programs are currently being designed in collaboration with our Pajé partners. More details coming soon.
Authentic Immersions
I am Marc, founder of Pajé. For over fifteen years, I've been helping people optimize their mental, emotional, and physical health. Through this work, I connected with Indigenous people and understood that they hold a key to raising our frequency, going deeper into the work, and reaching a new state of being. Would you like to come with me?
The Yawanawá have lived in this part of the Amazon for generations, carrying knowledge of plants, chants, and ceremony that the world is only now starting to wake up to. This time, they've invited me into their home — and maybe you too. You choose which week works for you, and how long you want to stay.
You're received by Wiyahu and Txivani, a couple who travel across Brazil and the world to raise awareness for the Amazon and the Yawanawá cause. They coordinate your stay. This isn't a retreat with three facilitators — it's three villages hosting you, with very powerful elder Pajés. I'm alongside you throughout to translate and interpret, so you can really absorb the knowledge of the people around you.
Facilitated by Marc · French, English & Portuguese · Small group, limited spots
Looking for something more personal? We also offer private retreats — designed around you. Whether you have 3 days or 3 weeks, we build a dieta and immersion experience tailored to your time, your intention and your needs, in close collaboration with the Lideranças and Pajé of Ushunawa.

Our Commitment
Every purchase, every retreat, every dieta directly supports the indigenous communities we work with — across the Amazon Rainforest. Our goal is not to serve one village, but to build lasting partnerships with as many Amazonian peoples as possible, on their terms.
Current project: rebuilding the Ushunawa village — a school for the children, homes for the families, and a plant medicine laboratory for their Pajé.
