Unah immersion Retreat in Brazil

You don’t need to speak Portuguese to join Unah Immersion.

If needed, you’ll have a personal translator, who is part of our team and will accompany you throughout the retreat — providing real-time translation during all activities, workshops, and circles.

This way, you’ll be able to fully follow and enjoy the experience, while also immersing yourself in the richness of the local culture.

And beyond the sessions, many participants speak fluent English, so during meals and free time, you’ll naturally connect with others — no translation needed.

It’s absolutely delicious — and for many, one of the highlights of the entire experience!

The meals are 100% plant-based, thoughtfully prepared, and deeply nourishing.

We understand that some people may feel uncertain about switching to a fully plant-based diet.

But don’t worry — most of our guests eat meat daily in their regular lives, and are often surprised by how satisfying, flavorful, and energizing the food is here.

Our menu is carefully balanced to provide everything your body needs — including protein — using fresh, organic, and high-quality ingredients.

By the end of the week, you’ll not only enjoy every bite, but also feel the difference in your energy, clarity, and overall well-being.

We welcome a beautifully diverse group of people at each Unah Immersion — and that’s one of the things that makes the experience so rich.

Most groups include people from different regions of Brazil and around the world, bringing a mix of backgrounds, stories, and paths.

In general, many of our participants are women between 25 and 45 years old, often traveling solo. But everyone is truly welcome.

💛 Regardless of your gender, age, race, body type, nationality, sexual orientation, or spiritual beliefs — you’ll be received with care and respect.

Diversity and inclusion are core values for us. 😊

Smoking is not permitted inside Piracanga, as part of our community agreements.

However, if needed, you may step just outside the village to a nearby coconut grove where tobacco use is allowed.

That said, we lovingly encourage you to take this opportunity to pause or even quit smoking — even just for these few days.

Many participants have shared that the Unah Immersion helped them stop smoking completely, simply because they felt supported, inspired, and more connected with themselves.

You may be surprised at how natural and easy that shift can be here. 🌿

No. In Piracanga, alcohol consumption and sales are not permitted — this is a core agreement of our community.

But here’s the beautiful part:

Most people are surprised to discover that alcohol is not missed at all.

In fact, without it, the environment becomes lighter, more inclusive, and naturally joyful.

You’ll find deep connection, authentic fun, and emotional presence — all without needing a single drink.

Yes — and that’s part of the magic of being immersed in Nature.

Since Unah is surrounded by forest, river, and beach, it’s completely natural to come across local wildlife such as lizards, monkeys, crabs, butterflies, and other small creatures.

It’s important to remember:

This is their home too.

And the animals here are peaceful and not dangerous — in fact, they’re usually much more afraid of us than we are of them (and honestly, who can blame them? 😅)

Of course, we’ll always be here to support you and make sure you feel safe and comfortable during the entire experience.

Yes — Unah Immersion is also a yoga retreat.

But it’s not just about postures on a mat.

Here, you’ll have the opportunity to experience yoga as a way of living — in your breath, in your relationship with Nature, and in how you connect with yourself and others.

And no, you don’t need any prior experience.

All classes are adapted to every level, and you’re encouraged to honor your body and your own rhythm at all times.

Yoga at Unah is not about performance — it’s about presence.
