JUNGLE IMMERSION & BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
6-12th JAN 2026

This is more than a journey — it is a sacred meeting of worlds.

Come together to celebrate the start of the year, alongside Chief Pina and Pana's birthday. 

We invite you to a unique and transformative experience in the heart of the Amazon, in full immersion with the Noke Koi community of Vari Teka Village, in the state of Acre, Brazil.

Our immersion is not a retreat, but an authentic encounter with the Noke Koi people. We open our homes, sacred rituals, and way of life in deep reciprocity with the forest and river that sustain us.

 

Stepping into the forest is stepping into the heart of the Noke Koi — a living experience that is raw, direct, and transformative, carrying you beyond words into the ancestral wisdom of the Amazon.

 

More than a journey, our immersion is a sacred meeting of worlds. Through ceremonies and the daily rhythm of village life, your presence and contributions become part of our community, supporting both our people and the land that gives us life.

BENEFITS

Step away from the noise of modern life and reconnect with the living forest, the river, and the wisdom of the Noke Koi. Through ceremony and daily village rhythms, you rediscover your natural balance and sense of belonging.

RECONNECT

Immersion in ancestral practices opens the door to deep personal transformation. Guided by the community, you are invited to release old patterns and step into new ways of seeing and being.

TRANSFORM

Integration happens not only in circles, but through active participation in community life. By planting food, helping with building projects, or supporting daily tasks, you embody reciprocity and root the teachings of the forest in shared action.
