Forest Retreat · Acre, Brazil
Ushunawa · Yawanawa Territory
For those who feel the weight of too much — too much noise, too much speed, too much screen. A 10-day immersion in Ushunawa, a Yawanawa village deep in the Amazon Rainforest of Acre, Brazil.
Through a carefully held sequence of traditional medicines and practices, the body goes through a deep physical, emotional and spiritual cleanse. You live in the village. You sleep in hammocks.
