Spiritual Leader | Shadow Guide | Shamanic Healer | Medicine Man
Matheus Guedes Vieira is a priest of the Earth, a guardian of sacred medicines, and a devoted guide into the shadow realms of the soul. Initiated into the Red Path of Shamanism, he walks with power—carrying the ancestral codes of healing, transformation, and truth.
With years of immersion in deep spiritual practice and hundreds of sacred ceremonies, Matheus has become a master of the invisible work—the kind that happens in silence, in the dark, and beneath the surface. His gift lies in his ability to hold powerful, grounded space for others to confront their deepest truths and return renewed, sovereign, and whole.
A Reiki Master (Usui and Shamanic lineages), a student of psychoanalysis, and a skilled alchemist of the sacred, Matheus unites ancestral healing technologies with modern insight. His work is precise, deeply intuitive, and rooted in nature’s rhythm. As a preparer and guardian of sacred plant medicines, his hands carry the vibration of devotion, and his field carries the force of initiation.
He is co-founder of the Light of Hope Spiritual Center, where he co-leads with reverence, presence, and deep spiritual maturity.
Those who sit in Matheus’s ceremonies often speak of feeling held by the forest itself—a primal intelligence that does not need words to awaken remembrance. He walks with clarity and purpose, guiding others to face what must be seen and emerge with new life.
Details of this retreat
Our Retreat takes place during the sacred week of Ganesha Chaturthi, the Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Ganesha — the divine archetype of wisdom, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles. In the Vedic tradition, Ganesha is invoked at the beginning of every sacred journey, ritual, or cycle, as his presence ensures protection, clarity, and fluidity along the path.
He teaches us that the greatest obstacles in life can be overcome with consciousness, devotion, and spiritual intelligence. To be in retreat during this portal is like opening the gates of your destiny with a golden key — a rare and auspicious time to release limitations, dissolve inner blockages, and plant the seeds of a new phase supported by divine forces.
Ganesha also represents the balance between the sacred and the playful, the body and the spirit, ancestral wisdom and the lightness of the soul.
To celebrate this portal in communion with nature — in deep silence and self-inquiry — is to activate a new reality guided by the power of awakened spirituality.
