Hello, I'm 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. 🌿
