Why Brazil, Why Casa dos Sentidos

Ayahuasca was born in the heart of the Amazon and has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples across Brazil as a sacred tool for healing and connection. Coming to Brazil to experience it isn't just convenient, it's a return to its origin, held within a culture that recognizes and respects this medicine as part of its own spiritual heritage.
 

At Casa dos Sentidos, we bring that legitimacy into a space designed for your safety and comfort. Nestled in Granja Viana, we offer the depth of untouched nature, the forest, the silence, the open sky, just 1 hour from the international airport (GRU). You get the profound immersion of a remote retreat without sacrificing the infrastructure, accessibility, and support of being close to a major city.

MORE THAN A DESTINATION

A Place Designed to Hold You

A home in the forest where nature, rest, nourishment and human connection become part of the journey.

Casa dos Sentidos is not a resort, a clinic, or a place where you are expected to go through your journey alone. It is a living home, intentionally created for meaningful inner work to unfold with care, beauty and real human presence.
 

Here, the forest is close enough to soften the noise of everyday life, while the warmth of the house keeps you grounded. You will have space to rest, to be quiet, to share a meal, to be in nature, and to connect with people who understand that transformation needs time, gentleness and support.
 

Every part of your stay matters: the way you are welcomed, the food shared around the table, the quiet between activities, the rooms where you rest, the conversations that arise naturally, and the people present beside you.
 

You are not coming only for a ceremony.

You are coming into a space where your whole experience can be held.

Edu Gevertz

Forest Medicine Facilitator & Sacred Plant Guide

There is an ancient calling that echoes through the drum, the voice, and the sacred smoke of tobacco. Edu is a facilitator of forest medicines who learned, through his own body, that healing means returning to who you truly are. His work is not about escape, it's about depth: reclaiming the body that holds memories the mind alone cannot reach, the heart that learned to close itself to survive, and the quietest layers of the soul. Through retreats of preparation, purga, consecration, and integration, he holds ritual processes with Ayahuasca, Rapé, Tobacco, Kambô, Wilka, Cacao, and Psilocybin, always grounded in consent, presence, and care. At Casa dos Sentidos, Edu holds this path with the steadiness of someone who has walked through his own shadows and returned whole, ready to hold space for yours to find light too.

Renata Reis

Clinical Psychoanalyst & Guardian of Relational Intelligence

If the forest and sound open the portal to healing, Renata is the one who holds the bridge between that sacred space and the human mind. A clinical psychoanalyst, producer, director, actress, and researcher in affective neuroscience, Renata has dedicated her life to what she calls Relational Intelligence: the capacity to build true, vulnerable, and safe connections, rooted in the understanding that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. As co-creator of Clube do Afeto, a project addressing the epidemic of loneliness through collective connection, she translates what unfolds in expanded states of consciousness into real understanding, of ourselves, our bonds, and the patterns that keep repeating. At Casa dos Sentidos, Renata helps weave together what was touched during the journey, guiding it back into real life so transformation doesn't stay only in the experience, but becomes true integration.

Gustavo Coelho (GUCO)

Sound Therapist & Touch Facilitator

Guco sees what most people cannot see in themselves. A photographer and therapist, he noticed that a camera often creates armor around people, so he created the Ritual Photography Session, his method for dissolving that armor and revealing who you are when no one is judging: no posing, no direction, just an energetic container and a safe space for your essence to emerge. His work also lives in the frequencies of Sound Massage, which bypasses the rational mind and guides the brain into a Theta state, promoting cellular regeneration and easing anxiety, and in the present touch of Tantric Therapy, through which he guides exhausted bodies back to rest and genuine ecstasy. Guco is living proof that art and therapy are the same language when held with absolute presence, and it's through his aesthetic sensitivity and therapeutic eye that he sustains the mirror in which each person recognizes themselves at Casa dos Sentidos.

Safety & Medical Care

Working with sacred plant medicines is a profound experience, and it deserves to be held with the same seriousness as any other significant health decision. Here's exactly how we protect you, every step of the way.

Medical Screening, Before Anything Else
Before your spot is confirmed, you'll complete a digital, bilingual medical anamnesis, a detailed health and history questionnaire reviewed personally by our team. This isn't a formality, it's how we determine whether this journey is safe for you specifically, and it happens before any payment is finalized.

 

Contraindications We Take Seriously
Certain conditions require special attention or may prevent participation altogether, including the use of SSRI antidepressants, a personal or family history of psychosis or bipolar disorder, and existing cardiac conditions. If any of these apply to you, our team will guide you individually on what's possible and what isn't, always prioritizing your wellbeing over a booking.

 

Trained Support During Every Ceremony
Throughout each ritual, you're held by a trained team, present and attentive for the full duration of every ceremony. Safety isn't an afterthought here, it's built into the structure of the experience itself.

Consent, In Everything
Every interaction within Casa dos Sentidos, from physical touch during a ritual to participation in any group activity, is rooted in ongoing, active consent. Nothing is assumed, and you are always free to say no.

Your safety is assessed by our team before you even book your flight.

Legal & Ethical Framework

Ayahuasca has a recognized legal status in Brazil, where its religious and spiritual use has been permitted and regulated since 1987, following recommendations from Brazil's National Anti-Drug Council (CONAD). Before your journey begins, you'll sign a digital responsibility agreement, reviewed by legal counsel, outlining exactly what to expect and what's expected of you. Every practice at Casa dos Sentidos, from ritual work to daily interactions, is held within a culture of active, ongoing consent.

For Solo Travelers, Especially Women

Traveling alone to a foreign country for a deep inner journey takes real courage, and we built Casa dos Sentidos with that courage in mind. You'll be welcomed into a genuinely caring community, where every interaction is grounded in consent, never assumed. Female presence is intentionally part of our facilitation team. Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged with your comfort and privacy in mind, because feeling safe in your own space is what allows you to fully open to the experience itself.

Your safety is assessed by our team before you even book your flight.
