As we gather in ceremony, as we gather in prayer, let’s recognize our greatest teachers, the ones who carry the lineage, the tradition, the wisdom. In honor of the indigenous people of Aldeia Pinuya and all the brave souls who chose to join this journey into the wilderness, the unknown and the depths of their being. Haux Haux

I am thrilled to announce our next retreat 'ReVive', a month-long incubator where we aim to radically transform your relationship with business, marketing & money, by taking you on a journey through the extraordinary power of your heart.

I will be joined by four phenomenal souls—John Early, Holly Achaya, Brenna Bote, and Vanessa Panton — individuals who exemplify living life beyond conventional norms and who have redefined success by creating businesses based on their passions and love for people & life.

For a whole month, we are going to focus our collective attention on those of you who are ready to let go of everything you think you know about how to create an abundant life, as we help you shift into a whole new world where your love, enthusiasm & essence become the driving force behind a successful and thriving career. We can work with 20 people max.

Throughout this month-long incubator, our focus will be on nurturing your innate genius, helping you to reclaim lost parts of your magical yourself, and opening up the channels for you to share your message with the world. Each day will serve as medicine for your soul as you are guided to rediscover your brilliance, your beauty, and the unique blueprint held within your DNA that has all the answers about how to be personally successful in the world.

This isn’t your typical "business retreat", it's going to be fun, quirky, emotional, and nothing like you imagine it to be. You'll be deep diving and de-conditioning yourself - purging all your fears about money, business, and expression. You will be moving away from exhausting marketing tactics, manipulative messaging, and trying to force the external world to do what you want so that you can finally be happy, free, and abundant, and instead delving into the true essence of manifestation at the highest level— which has everything to do with self-love, relaxation, and gracefully letting your gifts flow through you. Prepare to shed tears of relief as you re-claim your innate love for life, and realize that you don't have to work so hard anymore.

Is this for you?

This incubator is being tailor-made for individuals nurturing a passion or gift they wish to channel into the world. Whether you're a coach, healer, mentor, guide, facilitator, teacher, or artist seeking to share your gifts through different transformative experiences, this is for you.

However, it's essential to understand that this isn’t a quick-fix program; it's an immersive, soul-stirring experience where you’ll be embracing divine responsibility for your life's creation. It's also about the synergy and magic that will be uncovered and shared within the group, where lifelong friendships will be made, and collective growth will propel each individual to unprecedented heights. Together, we'll nurture and amplify each other's creativity and genius because that's what happens when we come together in this type of environment...

While we have a general idea of the weekly themes, the day-to-day details will be coming later. Here’s a teeny tiny glimpse:

Week 1: Freedom, Creativity & Divine Gifts

Week 2: Love, Kindness & Shadow Work

Week 3: Unending Inspiration & Co-Creation

Week 4: Beauty, Order & Surrendered Living

On top of that...just picture yourself residing in a spectacular beachside house in Nicaragua throughout the whole month of April, enjoying quantum workshops, life-changing events, mind-blowing moments, laughing, crying, delicious food, sun, dance, movement, and adventures with each other. If you intuitively feel drawn to join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, send me a message and we can set up a call. I can personally only invite 5 people.

Alternatively, myself, John, Holly, Brenna, and Vanessa will be running a free masterclass on the 10th December to talk about everything mentioned above and SO much more. If you want to risk it and wait that long to find out more, register for the free masterclass here: https://jakobgricar.com/revival-masterclass/

I’m genuinely excited about the immense potential this retreat holds for each participant who decides to show up. I can’t wait to spend a whole month getting to know you more and helping you fall in love with yourself and release your genius into the world!

With heartfelt excitement and anticipation from all of us,
Jakob

The Huni Kuin's spiritual practices emphasize the interconnectedness of all life. Their teachings inspire us to foster a deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and the planet.

As we delve into the depths of personal growth and spiritual exploration, the Huni Kuin's wisdom reminds us to honor our connection with nature and cherish the knowledge shared by indigenous cultures.

If you’re feeling the calling, we’re excited to invite you to our retreat in Brazil, where you will have a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditions and wisdom of the Huni Kuin tribe.

Vortex Retreats is unique in a way that it provides professional support with psychedelic integration coaches and psychotherapists, while at the same time highlighting the importance of strong lineage when working with ayahuasca.

The Huni Kuin tribe from Aldeia Pinuya, known for their deep-rooted traditions and spiritual practices extended an invitation to share their homes and their land, their knowledge, art, dance, ceremonies, and most importantly, their medicine.

During the 10-day immersion, you will be fully embraced by the Huni Kuin community, living alongside them, eating with them, and engaging in their daily activities and being a part of their village which will be a deeply transformative and profound experience of authenticity, genuine human connection, and spiritual growth.

Ayahuasca has been studied and recognized by many researchers and individuals who have experienced its transformative power. It has been used as medicine by the Huni Kuin tribe for generations as a medicine for healing emotional, mental and even physical afflictions. Its traditional use in ceremonies can lead to profound insights, emotional release, and personal growth.

You will have the opportunity to participate in three sacred ceremonies under the guidance and wisdom of the Huni Kuin pajés (medicine keepers), who have a deep understanding of the medicine's healing benefits. Beyond the ceremonies, we'll bring in practices of embodiment, self-inquiry, CBT, movement, nervous system regulation, breathwork and more, as well as learning their traditions of storytelling, body painting, song, chants and prayers.

We believe that this retreat will be an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, healing, cultural exchange, and spiritual awakening. There are very few spaces available - find the link in bio 💛
