TRAVEL ITINERARY
8 days before the trip to the retreat
- It is necessary to have a SOCIAL ISOLATION of 8 DAYS (in case of no symptoms), requested for participation. We understand that some people may have work activities outside the domestic environment, and in these cases, we request all possible safety and hygiene recommendations when traveling in public environments. Finally, we advise that 14 days before the retreat any unnecessary crowding is avoided. AIRPORT is the place of greatest contamination in this pandemic period and we suggest special attention during the trip to and from the Amazon.
- Conducting laboratory tests for COVID-19:
These exams are ready between 24 to 72 hours, but may take longer depending on pandemic conditions, and to increase everyone's safety, it is important to do the same 7 days before the trip, that is, at the beginning of the same week of departure air.
1) RT - PCR for COVID - Nasopharyngeal Swab
This exam verifies that you have COVID-19 and that it is active.
2) SEROLOGY (Blood) - Immunology
If you have already contracted the virus, this test is recommended because it indicates whether you are immune or not. If you are not immunized, it is necessary to perform the RT-PCR, mentioned above.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These are recommendations based on the guidelines of the National Health Organization.

Accommodation
We are looking to arrange and organize an environment as close to the community as possible, so that everyone feels at home, both the Yawanawa Entourage, and our fellowship that has come from afar making so many efforts to be with us and share this moment of study, healing, praying, learning and fraternization..
















In this sense, the package includes the covered camping area due to the rains and also a hammock (mosquito net), just as we are received in the village. Our retreat environment will be a beautiful farm, with an impeccable infrastructure, green area, swimming pool and weir for bathing, several bathrooms, industrial kitchen, all the comfort to be in the Forest and receive the blessings of our Grandparents Yawanawa.
FOOD
TRADITIONAL & REGIONAL
Our food will be as Amazonian as possible, with the aim of also receiving the nutritional benefits of the forest, always seeking the closest possible food to the organic that is consumed in the village. The idea is for everyone to feel at home and feel free to share this moment of study, healing, prayer, learning and fellowship.

INVESTMENT
The Amazon is a sacred temple of Nature, and its Native Peoples are legitimate guardians of the knowledge and wisdom of the green forests, inhabiting this territory since time immemorial.
The descendants of our ancestors live here, and they still use oral tradition to transmit the information necessary to live in the forest in balance with Nature, within the experience of language, culture and age-old tradition.
During our meeting in partnership with the Yawarani and Amparo Villages via @gruposdeviagem.br and @retiro.yawanawa, we will have the blessing of experiencing some of these deep links that connect the Yawanawá People to the Amazon, through material life and spirituality, since forever and forevermore.
