Brenda B

I’m Brenda, and together with Simon and Franziska, we are honored to host this retreat in Tulum, guided by Manari Ushigua, spiritual leader of the Sápara Nation of the Ecuadorian Amazon. In 2022, Simon and I traveled to Naku, Manari’s home deep in the Rainforest — our first encounter with the Amazon and the Sápara culture. It was life-changing. We fell in love with the land, the people, and their way of living in harmony with Nature — where everything is connected, where there is no separation. It was also where I experienced my first Ayahuasca ceremony. Simon had a difficult experience in the past with someone not rooted in true ancestral wisdom, so we were cautious. But with Manari and the Sápara, everything felt sacred, safe, and full of love. The ceremony opened our hearts and reminded us of what it means to be alive and in balance. Now, we feel deeply called to share this experience — to bring Manari’s teachings and this profound energy of love and remembrance closer to those who are ready. This retreat in Tulum is an invitation to reconnect with yourself, with Nature, and with the living wisdom of the Earth. Welcome home. 🌿
