After the ayahuasca retreat

After your Ayahuasca retreat, we suggest that you allow yourself some time to integrate and slowly re-engage with the everyday life.

TheVine Center is located on the Cacao coast, a vibrant and diverse part of Brazil with many ideal attractions for visitors to enjoy nature and local culture including fresh foods and traditional cuisines. Some people choose to stay in Itacare after the retreat to slowly reintegrate, relax, or surf.

We recommend to continue the healthy diet as long as possible. We discourage drinking alcohol or using drugs after the retreat because awareness is the opposite of numbness. During the retreat you learn tools that you can apply instead of seeking entertainment and noise to forget problems. The idea is to do something different like respect your feelings, emotions and body, and to invest time in transformation instead of escaping.

For participants who would like to continue their spiritual growth with Silvia’s guidance, you can opt for online spiritual counselling sessions with her over Skype.

Activities to do after your Ayahuasca experience

We are located a short drive away from the best beaches, waterfalls and the restaurants and shops of the Itacare town.

You may also like to rent a car and get some surfing lessons at one of the local beaches, five minutes driving from our center, or just lie in the sun with a good book. There are many nature walks through the jungles or along the coastlines. The local town, Itacaré is at the mouth of a large river that flows through thick jungle and it’s easy to hire a local guide and a canoe for trips up the river to cacao farms, waterfalls and native restaurants. Other attractions are the local capoeira schools (where you can get lessons with experienced teachers in town) and Whale watching (from June to October).

If you’re reading this, you’ve seen the website. You’ve had the calling and.. believe the 5 star reviews; I was suspicious of them but once you step foot on the retreat,even before you do so,you understand why they are 5 star rated. Beautiful bungalows in an Atlantic forest setting. A serene oasis and sanctuary, the perfect setting for this kind of retreat. Silvia’s seemingly infinite knowledge of all things, enables you to let go, feeling very safe whilst you fully immerse yourself. Her workshops are invaluable and enormously helpful when integrated into the ceremonies. You work at your own pace,everyone is different, yet you are there with like-minded people. The sharing circles too were eye opening both for my own experiences and truly humbling to listen to fellow participants. I opted for 11 days and I watched people transform into their true authentic selves literally hour by hour, quite astonishing. Ti0 too.. a Saintly Guardian, who seems to be in all places all at once. He was there whatever your need and whenever you needed him. They both have a refreshing sense of humour too which for me was essential when doing such deep work. I loved the opportunity to do Art which is not obligatory. Gentle yoga and fantastic massages are a bonus. The food was on another level,given the fact no salt is used, three meals a day, the variety was great and most if not all of the food was from the surrounding land. The chef is phenomenal. There is a gentle Western approach, yet you are ensconced in the perfect environment. Whether you partake in the plant medicine or not, I cannot recommend this place highly enough for a truly transformational retreat. I would also take heed of their advice and not travel home for at least a week if your work permits. I’ve given 10 stars because 5 aren’t enough.
