About Mama Shanti
Mama Shanti
Mission & Vision
At Mama Shanti, our mission is to create an intimate sanctuary where nature, stillness, and ancient healing practices guide people back to themselves. Through yoga, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing in the heart of Brazil’s rainforest, we hold space for deep transformation, reconnection, and inner peace—welcoming every soul, at every stage, just as they are.
We envision a world where people live with greater presence, balance, and connection—within themselves, with others, and with nature. Mama Shanti aims to be a beacon of sacred retreat, rooted in ancestral land and grounded traditions, offering transformative experiences that ripple outward in healing, harmony, and love.
