A gentle initiation into the living intelligence of the Amazon

Amazon River Journey

Luxury river-based immersion guided by Indigenous wisdom
July 26th – 31st, 2026 | Tapajós, Brazil

This Is Not Just a Retreat.

It Is a Soft Return.

A return to stillness.
To beauty.
To the part of you that remembers how to breathe deeply again.

This rainforest immersion is an invitation to meet the Amazon without force, without excess, and without overwhelm — held in comfort, care, and deep presence.

Here, transformation does not come from intensity.
It comes from slowing down enough to listen.

Imagine This…

You wake to the sound of birds echoing across the river.
Soft light filters through the canopy as the boat moves gently with the current.

Your body is rested.
Your nervous system is calm.
Your room is cool, quiet, and comfortable.

You sip coffee or tea on deck as the rainforest wakes up around you — not rushing, not performing, simply being.

This is the Amazon — met with reverence, beauty, and gentleness.

Why This Immersion Exists

Modern life keeps us alert, productive, and disconnected.Many people arrive feeling:

  • Mentally saturated

  • Emotionally tired

  • Creatively blocked

  • Disconnected from their bodies and intuition
     

This immersion exists to offer a different rhythm. Not an escape — but a recalibration. A space where your system can soften, your senses can open, and your relationship with nature becomes restorative rather than demanding.

Your Floating Sanctuary & the Journey

This is a river-based rainforest immersion hosted aboard a high-end Amazonian boat that serves as our floating home throughout the journey.

 

The boat is your sanctuary — a place to rest, integrate, and feel held as the forest unfolds around you. From this base, we move gently along the river and into the rainforest, allowing the experience to meet the body at a pace it can truly receive.

You will enjoy:

  • Private or shared cabins with air conditioning

  • Comfortable beds and quiet spaces for rest

  • Expansive decks to watch the forest pass by

  • A small, intimate group atmosphere
     

Some days unfold entirely on the water. Others include guided excursions into the forest and respectful visits with local communities. There is also the option of one night sleeping in the forest — always with preparation, choice, and support.

This is a luxury experience — not in excess, but in care.
Nothing is forced.Everything is invitational.

Daily Rhythm & Experiences

Each day is intentionally spacious and carefully curated.

Nourishment

All meals are prepared by local chefs using fresh Amazonian ingredients. You will enjoy:

  • High-end regional cuisine

  • Thoughtful accommodation of dietary needs

  • Juices, snacks, and hydration throughout the day
     

Food is part of the healing here — grounding, pleasurable, and nourishing.

This Immersion Is For You If

  • You feel drawn to the Rainforest but want to experience it gently

  • You are seeking rest, clarity, and reconnection — not intensity

  • You value comfort, beauty, and intentional design

  • You want meaningful encounters with local communities, not tourism

  • You are open to ceremony that is heart-led and grounding

  • You want to slow down and feel held by nature
     

This experience is especially well-suited for:

  • Women (most journeys are women-led and women-centered)

  • First-time Amazon visitors

  • People in life transitions who need spaciousness

  • Leaders, creatives, and caregivers in need of restoration
     

In some journeys, a small number of men may be welcomed by alignment and invitation.

What This Immersion Is Not

  • Not a survival experience

  • Not a plant-medicine intensive

  • Not a performance or spiritual spectacle

  • Not rushed or over-scheduled
     

This is presence over pressure.

What Tends to Shift

Participants often leave with:

  • A regulated nervous system

  • Renewed clarity and intuition

  • Deeper connection to their bodies

  • A softened relationship with control and urgency

The forest does not change you.

It reminds you.

Guided with care

This immersion is personally curated and facilitated by Maíra Irigaray, founder of INSamaúma.

With over 16 years of experience walking alongside Indigenous communities and guiding people through the Amazon, Maíra holds each journey with discernment, responsibility, and deep respect for the land and its peoples.

but to hold the container so the forest can meet you safely and meaningfully.

Our Sacred Impact

Every immersion is an act of reciprocity.

When you join this journey, you are not just traveling — you are directly supporting the guardians of the forest and the ancestral lineages that protect it.


A portion of every immersion supports Indigenous-led initiatives, including community education, cultural continuity, and improvements to quality of life.


“You have no idea about the impact of this retreat in my life. With this support, I will be able to put electricity in my house.”
— Nato Tupinambá, Borari Shaman, Alter do Chão

 

Through this circle of giving and receiving, your personal transformation becomes part of a much larger healing — one that nourishes both people and the planet.

Casa de Medicina – A Vision of Healing in the Amazon


We are supporting Nato Tupinambá, a respected shaman from the Brazilian Amazon, in bringing his vision to life: the creation of a Casa de Medicina — a traditional healing house where prayers, ancestral medicine, and spiritual support will always be available to the community.


By joining this immersion, you help bring this sacred space into being.

Supporting a Spiritual Project

Maíra is an extraordinary woman who bridges the massive gap of modern life with indigenous communities in an effort to build connection to ancient wisdom and land. She is truly doing soul work and each offering or opportunity provided in the Amazon felt like a precious gift.
