I participated in a 12-day retreat at Spirit Vine in January 2026 to see if it would help me heal from C-PTSD. It was my first experience with ayahuasca, and I was nervous at first, but Silvia quickly put me at ease with her calm and supportive presence.
One of the things I valued most was how Silvia blends Western psychotherapy with traditional plant medicine, so you truly get the best of both worlds. The workshops added depth and meaning to the ceremonies, and I learned so much from both Silvia and the group.
The setting is absolutely beautiful and creates a peaceful, safe container for healing. The group was small—only nine people—which allowed me to connect with everyone and witness not only my own healing, but theirs as well. I also loved the bungalow and appreciated the yoga and massage sessions, which supported the overall experience.
I would welcome the opportunity to return in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend Spirit Vine.

We are a non-profit retreat center hosting ayahuasca retreats for spiritual development in the Atlantic rainforest. What makes our retreats unique are the workshops that have been designed specifically to enhance the ayahuasca experience. In these workshops you will learn tools to explore and work on yourself, and to integrate the insights that you receive in the workshops and the ayahuasca ceremonies. Our focus is to help participants apply the insights to their everyday life to make practical long-lasting changes.
Another highlight of our retreats are the exquisite ayahuasca-friendly vegan meals prepared by our in-house chef who specializes in functional nutrition. We prepare our own ayahuasca brew from plants grown organically and sustainably at our center.
Our retreats also have yoga classes, massages, visits to some of the most beautiful beaches Brazil has to offer, and a natural pond where you can swim and soak in the sights and sounds of the rainforest. See more
