We are nature - 12 days Community Immersion in Brazil
breath . silence . art . community
hosted by Lorrana Scarpioni & Julian Guderley
March 11th to 22nd - Alto Paraíso de Goais, Brazil
Imagine yourself being part of a group of regenerative leaders taking time to be present to themselves, the land, and a newfound community. On a path of balance, harmony, and evolution, we chose nature as our teacher of remembrance.
To truly remember, we wake up on an agroforestry ecovillage, go for daily river swims, waterfalls, and contemplative hikes. Fully immersed in the four elements of creation our path to balance is through daily shared practices like breathwork, yoga, chanting, cold exposure, dancing, sharing meals, and singing together.
In our immersion, the harmony found through shared experiences, ceremonies, and heart-to-heart connections gives space to a new level of trust and embodiment. In time, the path invites evolution and lets us put our hands in the soil, sit with the native teachers, meet the stewards of the land, and visit regenerative projects making an impact in people’s lives.
Inspired and empowered by nature’s wisdom, we finally ground ourselves in the truth of who we are. We remember that we are nature and that our true human body is the entire Universe.
The experience
We are nature is designed as an immersive journey based on the four elements of creation. At the end of this experience, we want you to feel more connected to yourself, empowered by daily centering practices, grounded in nature’s wisdom, and inspired by the regenerative communities movement.

An Agroforestry System (SAF) reproduces the natural interaction of species in nature, cultivating an area with high biodiversity of food without pesticides and a soil rich in organic matter.
It is much more than cultivating food, Agroforestry regenerates degraded areas, produces forests and water, creating more resources for nature instead of extracting.In this system, species with short cycles interact and help in the growth of species with longer cycles, providing shade, organic matter, enriching the soil and bringing more and more life to the place.
This mode of production impacts the food health of the population and creates a forest microclimate that improves the quality of life of rural workers, contributes to reducing global warming, and generates greater biodiversity for biomes.
