Spirit of Amazon(Brazil) Digital Detox & transformational immersion

Retreat Highlights

• *First and last nights in Manaus at Hotel do Bispo, a charming boutique hotel in the historic Colonial District, featuring a delicious and authentic breakfast to start your day.
• *Five days (four nights) at Manati Lodge, nestled in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, offering serene accommodations and all meals crafted with fresh, organic local ingredients.
• *Professional transportation to and from the jungle lodge, ensuring a stress-free journey.
• *Step into the Amazon rainforest for a guided nature trail where you’ll discover unique plants, visit one of the tallest trees, the Argelim Pedra, spot wildlife, and learn about the secrets of the jungle from local guides.
• *Piranha fishing (recreational): where you can test your skills and (hopefully) reel in one of these famous fish, learn about their habits and curiosities .
• *Night forest observation: a boat ride into the heart of the jungle, where nature’s nighttime orchestra begins—frogs croaking, owls hooting, and the occasional splash of an alligator.
• * Visit a indigenous reservation: Hop on a boat and set off for a visit to the Tatuyos Indigenous community, where you’ll participate in a beautiful blessing ceremony and look at their traditions, way of life, and deep connection to the Amazon and Nature.
• * Explore the local flour mill. A main food staple for the local communities is the cassava or yuca. You’ll get to visit the mill where they extract the by-products as ingredients for tapioca, bejú, tucupi, and latex for home construction and take part in a hands-on workshop with natural Amazonian oils, where you’ll get to make your own moisturizer or essential oil —a unique opportunity to learn about the region’s rich resources.
• * Time to go see one of the most fascinating creatures in the Amazon, the Pink Dolphin, where you’ll get up close with these playful and rare creatures.
• * All organic meals, locally sourced and prepared home style. The diversity of fruits, vegetables and fruits in the Amazon will surprise you and delight your palate!

Silvia Edgell

I’m Silvia—a Brazilian-born explorer with an insatiable curiosity for the world, a passion for photography, and a deep love for culinary experiences. For 30 years, I built a life in the U.S., carving out a successful career as a Digital Content Manager in the corporate world. But my soul longed for something more—authenticity, adventure, and meaningful connections. The call to follow my dreams became impossible to ignore, leading me to create a life centered around my greatest passions: travel, nature, spirituality, and the beauty of human connection. Our trips are designed for small groups of 10 to 12 people max, focused on sustainable, ethical, fun and soul searching journeys so you can build unforgettable memories. We believe that the most profound experiences emerge from authentic interactions with people and cultures. Each itinerary will bring you an opportunity to interact with the locals, hear their stories and be part of their world. The real human connection that can only be experienced when you travel with a purpose. Through intentional itineraries and mindful tourism practices, we’re on a mission to show that your vacations can be a force for real, positive change in the world. We are for those who desire more out of a vacation, and who wish to disconnect to reconnect through the joy of travel. As a Retreat leader, I’ve explored many destinations across the globe and carefully selected the ones that have inspired me the most. Now, I’m eager to share them with you.
