Practical information

Detailed retreat program

What you need to know

The retreats are offered with a view to personal, energetic and spiritual development.
They have no medical, psychological or psychiatric objective.
Under no circumstances does traditional Amazonian practice replace or modify conventional Western medical treatment.
However, participants often come on the advice of doctors,
psychologists/psychotherapists, coaches, health centres, trainers, former retreat participants
retreat participants.
70% of participants have already been to our retreats or feel the desire to come again
as their personal development progresses.
Since 2014, Tobaccospirit has accompanied retreat participants from
from around 15 countries.

We are receiving a growing number of emails from all over Europe.
The team has chosen to communicate in a sober, concrete and personalized way that is attentive to the diversity of views.
Since 2014, this approach has enabled us to guarantee each participant a safe, rigorous and humane space, conducive to profound change.

Location (Southern Europe)


This type of diet originated in the Amazonian Forest and is therefore only possible in the wilderness or in an isolated, silent place.

Weather & temperatures: 25°-30°C

The retreat takes place in Europe in a large private nature reserve, of which we have exclusive use. It is a very sunny region, and during an ‘Indian Summer’ the temperature of 25°-30° C and the subtle quality of the light are particularly favorable to this energy work.

Food


The Retreat uses a mono-diet which is vegetarian / vegan and includes quinoa, whole rice, potatoes, lentils, green vegetables and seeds. It naturally respects the needs and capacities of each person. Special care is taken to as often as possible make these meals organic.

Transport to the retreat centre


A private, free optional shuttle bus is chartered from the nearest airport and takes participants directly to the Retreat Center.
The many benefits of this include: safety, saving on car rental, fuels and motorway tolls, cutting delays and avoiding the stress of public transport. You also cut out the risk of getting lost! From our point of view, itallows us to respect the rules of sustainable development.

Facilities

On the morning of your first day, the shuttle bus waits for participants as their planes arrive. At the end of the retreat, the shuttle bus will collect participants from the retreat center and drop them off at the airport in time for afternoon or evening flights.

Participants


This seminar is aimed at genuinely motivated adults seeking meaning and reality.
The organizers receive a significant number of firm registrations and the places are quickly filled. It is therefore advisable to register quickly.
The number of participants is limited. This is to ensure constant, secure and personalized support.

Desire to progress

If you are interested, we will send you a brochure and a registration dossier. We receive many registrations per week.
The participants in our retreats come from all walks of life and come from different countries. They often share the same interest in personal development, spirituality, nature, health and discovery.

Work

Resolute and committed participants accomplish great work on themselves during the retreat. The group dynamic we create carries the participants.
For participants registered for the first time: we offer an exchange via Skype, phone or face to face in order to answer any questions you might have.

A process of autonomy and inner freedom

Retreat is in an open area, taking place in a privatized space, meaning that the doors themselves are permanently open, physically and symbolically. A retreat is first and foremost a process of autonomy and inner freedom.

Languages


Although the retreats are not held in France or in Spain, the three languages of communication (simultaneous translation of all exchanges) remain French, English and Spanish.
The team can also communicate in Dutch, German and Portuguese.

Proximity


These retreats follow exactly the same content and sequence as those proposed in the Amazon, making them a little more accessible to Europeans in a nature reserve, in a sunny region, supervised by a team of 4 people and in several languages.
