Join Jennifer Moore and Stephanie Gulledge for a truly off the beaten path, active adventure in beautiful and wild Brazil! Together we have searched the northern coast to find our favourite, hidden locations to bring you the perfect mix of unspoilt beaches, food, activities, adventure, culture, relaxation and fun!  Our action-packed, diverse itinerary will leave no two days ever the same!

 

We have wrapped up the very best activities, food and experiences to share with you on the trip of a lifetime.  During your adventure, you will do yoga, learn to surf and stand up paddle board, try capoeira, hike to hidden waterfalls and beaches, learn to make chocolate, caipirinhas and cook our favourite Brazilian dish together.  Along the way, we will introduce you to our local friends who will help you discover the true beauty of this destination.  We have made sure to include all of the amazing local flavours this area has to offer.  You will be spoiled with regional specialties, including many Brazilian superfoods such as acai, cacao, honey & coconut oil.  Of course, we have left some time for you.  Be lazy in a hammock, relax by the pool, browse the local shops or have a spa treatment on us!

 

Come see paradise from our eyes: surf, sup, eat, drink, cook, hike, move, dance, yoga, learn, laugh and connect. Be part of this dream. Paradise can be your reality too!!!

ACCOMMODATION

Our “home” for our adventure is in the heart of Itacare, and is surrounded by luscious green vegetation, including mango and papaya trees. It is close to the centre of town and also walking distance to many of the magical city beaches.  There is plenty of communal space for us to spend time together, including in a beautiful yoga shala where we can move, stretch and connect. The rooms are simple and charming, all complete with fans, air-con and terraces with hammocks. No TV’s here, as we want you to truly escape from unwanted distractions. We understand that life goes on, so don’t worry – there is WIFI! There is a pool on the property for lazy lounging and we often find ourselves with visiting monkeys poolside!  A daily delicious breakfast is served that includes many homemade treats and tasty tropical fruits.  We will have the opportunity to really feel at home here when we invite our favourite chef to come create a beautiful dinner for us.  Accommodation options include twin sharing or single rooms.

When we travel, we like to get inside a culture, to scratch below the surface, and have real experiences that go beyond the norm. We have taken our best of Brazil and rolled it into this adventure for you.


THIS RETREAT IS NOT FOR YOU IF
YOU ARE DEATHLY AFRAID OF BUGS

We will be living in the jungle, you will see bugs. 

 

YOU JUST WANT TO LAY BY THE POOL AND WORK ON YOUR TAN

This adventure is for squeezing the most out of each day and making the most of your time away. If you love to be active, try new things, see and do exciting stuff- this is perfect for you.

 

YOU NEED TO BLOW DRY YOUR HAIR, WEAR TONS OF MAKEUP AND HIGH HEELS EVERYDAY, ALL DAY

It’s going to be hot. You will have beachy hair, your makeup will melt off and you will break your neck on the cobblestones trying to walk in heels. The daily get up is super casual, that being said we will go out for some nice dinners where you can do your hair and paint your face.

YOU DON’T LIKE TO BE WITH GROUPS OF PEOPLE

We will be spending A LOT of time together, you need to want to make new friends and soak up this time with other amazing like-minded people.

 

YOU ARE AFRAID TO TRY NEW FOODS, AREN’T INTERESTED IN NEW CULTURES, PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCES

Everything will be new to you. It can be overwhelming at first when you show up to a new place, but our hope is that you will embrace the food, culture and people. If you do, you will leave full of the contagious Brazilian energy and happiness!

 

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DETOX, CLEANSE, JUICING OR WEIGHT LOSS RETREAT

Nope, this isn’t it. We are going to eat, we are going to have a beer or cocktail if we feel like it and we will definitely not be going hungry.
FAQs

You are welcome to take part in all the activities on offer, but everything is optional. If you’d prefer to lounge at the pool, shop, get a massage, do more yoga or go read your book at a cafe with a coffee, you are free to make this retreat YOUR OWN. This is your time to ReTreat Yourself!

Is this only for women?

Nope, guys are welcome too!

What if I am coming on my own?

Amazing and well done you for having a sense of adventure to come on your own! There are single room options available or we can try to pair you up with another single traveller to share a room.

What if I haven´t done yoga before, will I be ok?

I think you will enjoy the retreat more if you do some yoga before coming. Start doing it now- go to class, do videos at home between now and the retreat. We do not recommend showing up to the retreat never having done yoga. And, remember, everything is optional, so if yoga isn’t your thing and you’d rather sleep in- it’s up to you!

I’ve never surfed or done Stand Up Paddle

No, problem! This will be the perfect place to learn both! And don’t worry, everyone else will probably be in the same boat as you- new to surf and SUP.

Do I have to participate in all the activities?

Nope, it’s totally up to you! You do whatever will make your experience the best for you. You are welcome to take part in all the activities on offer, but everything is optional. If you’d prefer to lounge at the pool, shop, get a massage, do more yoga or go read your book at a cafe with a coffee, you are free to make this adventure YOUR OWN. This is your time to ReTreat Yourself!

Is this a detox or cleanse retreat?

No, it isn’t. You can eat and drink as much as you like on this adventure. Breakfast is included everyday and lunch and dinner are also included most days and will consist of a healthy option. You will have some lunches and dinners on your own, where you can try the great culinary delights, so it will be up to you what you want to eat. Maybe you will be trying out the health food scene, or maybe you will be looking for the best cocktail in town!
