A single journey can change your life...

RS Wilderness Medicine Retreat with Daniel Pinchbeck

Chapadas Dos Veideiros, Brazil,  Nov. 4-12

Reality Sandwich invites you to participate in a 9-day spiritual quest of deep healing and cleansing of the body during the special time of 11.11.11, a time of reconnecting ourselves with the universal flow of energy and the instructions that support the continuous transformation of ourselves and the planet.

The retreat will be held in the depths of the Brazilian Cerrado, in the Chapada Dos Veideiros, a huge plateau of pure crystal minerals that support and magnify the work of healing, the energy of the planet, the flow of the deep waters and the prayers of the continuity of life.

The crystal plateau is embedded within the biodiversity and countless river springs that flow down to the Amazon basin rainforest. This pure environment, famous for its healing powers, is home to the sanctuary wilderness camp of Lua only accessible by boat and on foot.  The focus of the retreat is healing the body to receive spiritual instructions for everyday life and practices, searching for the vision to align our selves to the flow of times within the healing of the planet.

Discussions and initiations will focus on how to channel our lives as an input for the global change and how we can help to promote this change from the individual healing and opening of life channels, creating and promoting new opportunities for sustainability in the planet.  Each individual’s healing process will be supported through varies practices and cultural rituals. Nature hikes, purification sweats, chanting circles, tribal dance, yoga, lectures, traditional healings, individual cleansings and optional free sacred plant ceremonies of the Amazon.

This Reality Sandwich spiritual quest will be hosted by RS's editorial director Daniel Pinchbeck. Other facilitators will be Nando Vila from Colombia, his partner Kathi and representatives from the Kaxinawa tribe from the state of Acre, Brasil.

Daniel Pinchbeck is author of “2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl,” “Notes from the Edge Times,” and “Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism.” He is editorial director of Reality Sandwich and Evolver.net.
