When planning a trip to Brazil, many seekers wonder if they have to travel deep into the Amazon rainforest to experience authentic shamanism and sacred forest medicines.

The truth is, you can experience a profound, highly protected, and transformative spiritual journey right here in Rio de Janeiro.

At the Templo de Xamanismo Universalista Círculo Sagrado 7 Encruzilhadas, we host sacred retreats and shamanic experiences all year round. Led by our spiritual leader, Sacerdote A’damor, our temple is a dedicated sanctuary designed to fit your travel schedule while offering deep, uncompromising spiritual work.

Daytime Sessions vs. Overnight Retreats: Choose Your Path

Every seeker’s journey is different, and we offer two main formats to accommodate your personal needs and spiritual callings:

• 🔆 Daytime Sessions (Guided Spiritual Experiences): Perfect for those who want to experience the sacred medicines in a highly focused, daylight environment. These sessions are designed for deep meditation, healing chants, and profound self-reflection, allowing you to return to your accommodation in the evening.

• 🌙 Overnight Retreats (Deep Immersion): A traditional night ceremony where we connect under the stars, sit by the sacred fire, and surrender to the deeper expansion of consciousness. This format is ideal for an intensive, immersive healing experience.

Whichever path you choose, you will be fully supported by our dedicated spiritual team and an English-speaking interpreter to ensure absolute clarity, safety, and peace of mind.

Easy to Reach: Safe and Direct Access via Uber & Taxi

A common concern for international visitors is navigating a new city. You might ask: Is Santa Cruz too far? How do I get there safely?

We have made sure your journey to us is as seamless as possible. Although our temple is a quiet nature sanctuary tucked away from the urban noise, it is fully mapped and easily accessible by transport apps and local services:

• Uber and Taxi Friendly: You can easily request an Uber or a private taxi directly from tourist hubs like Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, or Barra da Tijuca straight to our temple gates.

• Hassle-Free Navigation: Because we are located on main access routes in the West Zone of Rio, drivers have no trouble finding us on GPS.

• A Safe Return: When your session or retreat ends, our team is always on hand to help you coordinate your ride back to your hotel or apartment safely.

What to Expect During Your Immersion

Our year-round retreats focus on holistic well-being and ancestral connection. Your experience will include:

• Guided Meditations & Sacred Sound Healing: Traditional instruments, drum beats, and sacred chants (icaros) to guide your consciousness.

• Spiritual Cleansing: Releasing stagnant emotional blocks and clearing your energetic field.

• Post-Ceremony Integration: Guided circles to help you process your insights and carry them back into your daily life.

To maintain the high quality, safety, and intimacy of our sacred egrégora, spaces are strictly limited to small groups or individual sessions, and advance booking is mandatory.

The calling of the forest medicines is a sacred pull. For many international seekers, traveling to Brazil to participate in an Ayahuasca ceremony is a life-changing dream. However, with the rise of spiritual tourism, finding a space that offers true authenticity, safety, and experienced guidance can feel overwhelming.

Consagrating sacred medicines is not a casual activity—it is a deep dive into your consciousness. To help you navigate your journey, we have compiled the essential elements you should look for when choosing an Ayahuasca retreat in Rio de Janeiro, and how we uphold these standards at Templo de Xamanismo Universalista Círculo Sagrado 7 Encruzilhadas.

1. A Rigorous Health Screening (Anamnese)

A genuine shamanic center will always prioritize your physical and psychological well-being above everything else. Ayahuasca has specific contraindications, particularly with certain medications (like SSRI antidepressants) or pre-existing cardiovascular and psychiatric conditions.

• Our Standard: At Círculo Sagrado 7 Encruzilhadas, no seeker enters a ceremony without a thorough prior alignment interview and health screening (anamnesis). This process ensures that you are physically and mentally prepared to surrender to the experience safely.

2. Experienced and Dedicated Leadership

The space where a ceremony takes place is called an egrégora—an energetic field of protection. This field must be guided by someone with deep spiritual training, respect for the medicine, and the stability to support you through moments of intense emotional release.

• Our Standard: All our ceremonies are fully guided by our spiritual leader, Sacerdote A’damor. His years of devotion to universalist shamanism and deep connection with the forest forces guarantee a highly protected, respectful, and sacred atmosphere.

3. Clear Communication and Language Support

Surrendering to the medicine requires feeling completely safe. If you do not speak the local language, trying to understand ritual guidelines, preparation rules, or expressing your feelings during a challenging moment can cause unnecessary anxiety.

• Our Standard: We bridge the language gap by providing dedicated English-speaking interpreters and support staff. From your initial application to the integration circle after the ceremony, you will be able to express your thoughts, fears, and breakthroughs in your native language.

4. Integration: Processing the Journey

Drinking the medicine is only half the journey. The real magic happens when you return to your daily routine and integrate the insights you received. A safe retreat does not simply let you walk away after the ceremony; it helps you process what you experienced.

• Our Standard: We facilitate integration circles and provide guidance on how to carry the lessons of the forest back into your home country, ensuring your healing journey continues to unfold positively long after you leave Brazil.

Many tourists expect to find spiritual retreats in the middle of busy tourist spots like Copacabana or Ipanema. However, profound inner work requires silence and connection with nature.

Tucked away from the urban noise, our temple offers a quiet, green nature sanctuary where you can hear the birds, sit by the sacred fire, and connect with the earth—yet it remains easily accessible for international visitors staying in Rio.

For self-knowledge and deep inner healing, there are no borders. The calling of the forest medicines reaches seekers all around the globe, guiding them to the places where their souls can find alignment, peace, and transformation.

Recently, we had the honor of welcoming a brother from the United States to our sacred sanctuary, Templo de Xamanismo Universalista Círculo Sagrado 7 Encruzilhadas, located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He crossed oceans to experience a profound spiritual journey with the Sacred Medicines of the Forest—and the results were truly transformative.

Real Spiritual Work, Not Entertainment

In a world where spiritual tourism is rising, we make one thing clear: this is not entertainment. This is real, sacred spiritual work.

Consagrating Ayahuasca and other forest medicines requires respect, alignment, and a prepared environment. Our brother's journey was fully guided by our spiritual leader, Sacerdote A’damor, whose experience and devotion ensured a highly protected and sacred egrégora.

To bridge any distance and guarantee absolute peace of mind, he was supported by our dedicated spiritual team and an English-speaking interpreter. Having an interpreter present ensures:

• Clarity: Understanding every step of the preparation, ritual guidelines, and integration.

• Safety: Knowing that you can express your feelings and needs in your native language at any moment.

• Full Surrender: When you feel safe and understood, you can truly let go and allow the medicine to work deeply within.

What Unfolds During a Sacred Forest Medicine Journey?

Every spiritual journey is unique, acting as a personal portal to one's true path. During this profound immersion, several energetic and emotional gateways were opened:

• Deep Emotional Release: Letting go of old patterns, stagnant energies, and past traumas.

• Spiritual Cleansing: A complete renewal of the energetic body, bringing a sense of lightness and rebirth.

• Connection with Ancestral Wisdom: Tuning into the ancient frequencies of the forest and the universalist spiritual guides.

• Expansion of Consciousness: Seeing life from a higher perspective, beyond the noise of daily routines.

• Clarity of Purpose: Finding direction, inner strength, and true alignment with one's soul mission.
