About this Retreat
Your Guides
Fabian grew up in Berlin, where he learned from his father how to windsurf in the Baltic Sea as a young boy. He worked with technology startups, the United Nations and organized trips to 16 African countries supporting entrepreneurs. In his thirties, he entered a personal crisis resulting in burnout and depression.
He started listening to his inner wisdom and started volunteering in dolphin conservation in the Red Sea. He began to swim with wild dolphins every day and became deeply connected to the sea. His dream is to assist people in exploring their inner worlds by going deep into the sea and having the best time of their life.
He spends his free time traveling with world and exploring different shamanic practices, indigenous and western wisdom. Since his life change he attended trainings in Energy Healing and Water Therapy.

Details of this retreat
The Nixpu Pima is the most sacred initiation of the Huni Kuin people of the Brazilian Amazon. Traditionally reserved for their own community, this ceremony is rarely offered to foreigners. To be invited into this sacred rite is a profound honor — one that is extended only to those ready to walk with respect, humility, and an open heart.
This ancient initiation is not a retreat or a performance. It is a baptism of the spirit, a powerful passage guided by the wisdom of the elders, the love of the community, and a deep reverence for nature.
The Nixpu Pima has the power to heal the heart at its deepest level, to cleanse the spirit, and to realign you with your true essence. It is a moment of rebirth — a chance to leave behind what no longer serves and to step into a new chapter of life with clarity, strength, and purpose.
What Makes Nixpu Pima Unique
The Most Sacred Ceremony of the Huni Kuin — a central rite of transformation, rarely shared with the outside world.
Profound Healing & Renewal — deep purification rituals, herbal baths, body painting, and sacred songs that cleanse and strengthen body, mind, and spirit.
Sacred Songs & Dances — traditional huni meka chants and ceremonial dances call in the ancestral spirits, weaving you back into harmony with the forest.
Guided by Elders & Leaders — shamans, chiefs, and song keepers will hold and guide you throughout the process with integrity and ancestral authority.
Connection to Nature — visits to the samaúma (the most powerful tree of the forest), traditional herbal medicine baths, and full immersion in the rhythms of indigenous village life.
This Is Not a Luxury Retreat
You will live simply, as part of the community, in the middle of the rainforest.
Expect basic conditions: shared facilities, limited electricity, and internet.
