A guided ceremony, preparation and integration in one retreat day

A private ceremony and retreat in Bertioga, Brazil, led by expert guides over 18 hours with preparation, the ceremony itself, and integration support included.

The retreat includes breakfast and all logistics, with guides available in English, Portuguese, or German.

The experience

What does a private ceremony retreat actually look like when you book one? You arrive at the natural grounds in Bertioga and begin with preparation: your guides walk you through what to expect and how to approach the experience. Transport from your location is included, so you don't arrange it separately. The ceremony itself is led by experienced guides who remain with you throughout, providing support at each stage.

The setting matters here: you're surrounded by rivers and forests on grounds with top-notch facilities. Between and after the ceremony, you can explore the lush grounds, use the covered open spaces, or gather by the fire site. If you want privacy, private cottages are available. Breakfast is provided, and the guides stay through integration: the part where you process what happened and carry it forward. The whole arc, from arrival through integration, spans 18 hours.

Guides speak English, Portuguese, or German, and the minimum age is 18. The retreat is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health or pregnant travelers, but it is suitable for all other fitness levels. Public transportation options are available nearby if you prefer to arrange your own arrival.
