Sitio dos Oriundos
Personal care, grounded in whole-being healing
At Sitio dos Oriundos, retreat work is shaped around the individual rather than a fixed therapeutic formula. The approach brings together self-inquiry and personal growth with body-centered care, which may include massage or acupressure, energetic treatments, and shamanic ceremonies with sacred plants. Yoga and meditation are also among the practice topics. The emphasis is on looking at wellbeing as a whole, with attention to personal responsibility and the connection between emotional and physical experience. Food is part of that care: meals are cooked over a wood fire, with traditional and vegetarian options, alongside vegan and organic choices. The atmosphere is intended to be intimate and professionally supported, and alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs are prohibited on the premises. Retreat prices start at USD 590. For anyone considering plant-medicine work or specific therapies, it is sensible to discuss suitability and the program directly with the center before reserving.
