About this trip

Are you looking to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul with an unforgettable adventure?


Look no further Awake Bliss organized a 10-day retreat in the exotic and vibrant state of Bahia, Brazil. Our retreat offers a unique blend of wellness practices and thrilling outdoor activities, all set against the region's stunning natural beauty.


Upon arrival at our beautiful beachfront home, you'll be greeted with a warm welcome and a relaxing environment to release your mind, body, and spirit. This trip will allow you to take time away from your busy while soaking in the contagious energy of Bahia. 

 

We are starting the trip on the glorious beach of Bahia for sunning and swimming, detoxing, meditation, massage treatments, and a whale-watch excursion at Praia do Forte.


After three nights of unwinding, we'll embark on a transformative adventure deep into the heart of Chapada, Diamantina where you will have the opportunity to explore towering waterfalls, dramatic rock formations, and sweeping vistas. We will experience a shamanic healing flower ceremony. A flower ceremony is a powerful and transformative ritual that invites us to connect with the beauty and wisdom of nature. During this ceremony, we create a sacred space where we can honor the energy of the plants and flowers, and allow their essence to guide us on a journey of self-discovery and healing. 


In addition, you'll also enjoy clay therapy, hike through the park's stunning landscapes, and participate in various healing activities, which include intuitive dance, healing art touch with massage workshop, breath-work, clay therapy, acupuncture, meditation, and movement therapy.


After our transformative experience in Chapada Diamantina, we'll return to the Litoral Norte making a stop in the historic town of Cachoeira, where we will spend a few hours exploring the area and learning about its rich history and cultural significance. Visit local landmarks and attractions like the Samba de Roda Museum or the Cachoeira Church. Connect with the local community and witness firsthand the vibrant traditions of Candomblé.

We'll reach Pausada Capitu in the evening taking with us the enrichment and inspired feelings.


Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that will leave you feeling empowered, energized, and connected to yourself and the world around you. At our retreat, we believe in the power of nature to heal and inspire. Come and discover what makes Bahia such a special place for wellness and adventure.

Housing

All participants will have a double room.


Accommodation in a shared room can be a transformative and enriching aspect of a healing journey, especially when experienced as a group. At our retreat, we offer shared rooms that are thoughtfully arranged for two to three people, allowing for an intimate and supportive experience.

Sharing a space with like-minded individuals can cultivate a sense of community and support that enhances the healing process. Through this shared experience, participants can connect with others on a deeper and more authentic level. By being vulnerable and open with each other, a safe space for personal growth and healing is created.

In a shared room, the shared experience of the healing journey can foster a sense of unity and belonging. Participants can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others, as they support each other on their path towards healing. Join us for an unforgettable experience that offers healing and transformation in the company of like-minded individuals.


We promote the idea of sharing a room, but if you require your own room, please let us know so we can accommodate you at an extra cost.

All of the activities--meditation exercises, yoga classes, the professional massage, acupuncture treatment, sweat lodge, clay and flower baths, the hike, the ceremonies--were powerful and inspirational.
