AYAZEN RETREATS

AyaZen Retreats are currently conducted by Atmo Yatri (aka ”Xá”) and Jonas Xavier, and the collaboration of many other people, according to the needs of each group.

In AyaZen Retreats our main practice is the ritual consecration of the sacred medicine known as Ayahuasca. For decades our work consists in the construction of a safe space for people to experience their potential spiritual powers. Other practices are synchronized with the needs manifested in the meditation sessions with Ayahuasca.

Our approach aims to facilitate the contact between different cultures and worldviews through the rich entheogenic practices and their subtle technologies. We offer light initiations for people who never had any contact with the sacred medicine and also guide deeper studies for experienced practitioners.

We consider Ayahuasca a specially important gift in our current times of world crisis, a powerful catalyst of introspection and an inductor of extraordinary experiences, easily adopted by many different spiritual cultures as an ally in the search of a mindful life.

As non-sectarian practitioners, we emphasize that people can find a vast number of spiritual disciplines suitable for different traditions, and our Retreats seek to integrate different views on subjects common to all.

The sacred medicine usage presents great potential in healing, but special attention is required in previous preparations to the session and some practices after.

We believe the experience in AyaZen is a powerful way to open and point to new subtle fields of consciousness, more efficiently explored with the aid of consistent meditative practices, individual or in groups.

During the retreat important aspects will be emphasized to guide participants on the art of introspect navigation, in a way every person will have the opportunity to practice according to their own capacities.

Through this experience we aim to promote the connection of heart between people as a powerful form of pacification and understanding beyond appearances of distinct cultural views, in order to construct a more harmonious collective life.

Our proposal is a loving trip to the borders between ordinary and extraordinary, in which each person plays the major role in their own discoveries.

Our work is fundamented in more than for decades of Atmo Yatri’s research and experience, practicing the entheogenic consecration in Brazil, having received spiritual transmissions of different spiritual practitioners, indigenous and from other cultures.

Jonas B. Xavier works in the administrative management of AyaZen Center, and is present in all steps of planning and organizing the Retreats, in addition to guiding groups in the entheogenic meditation sessions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Somatic Practices

Somatic Practices are essential in the process of cleaning and decompressing the physical body, preparing it for the long internal journeys and meditation practice. They are fundamental to help organize postural, emotional, spiritual and physical reeducation in the Retreat environment.

As a measure to assure good quality of life for all and relief possible tension that crystallizes in the body, daily practices of Yoga, Pranayama and Dharana are offered to everyone interested in exploring other layers of Consciousness, also outside the entheogenic exploration. Practices encompass all people, from all ages and conditions, since our focus is a restorative practice of Yoga that transcends the physical body, and uses it to reach other layers of mindful comprehension. It is also possible to assist only Pranayama and Dharana practices that consist of breathing techniques associated with concentration practices to prepare for the silent meditation.

Other therapeutic somatic practices are offered such as different types of dance and active meditation. All somatic practices are opened to participants, but are not mandatory.

In addition, our tours involve light walks in uneven soil, and a lot of contact with mineral waters from the region.
