Supporting communities they need

Boat for Huni Kuin Tribe

Because we work so closely with Indigenous tribes, we believe it is our responsibility to give back and support them wherever we can.

We collaborate with tribes from the Amazon rainforest who carry profound ancestral knowledge of spiritual healing and traditional practices. However, due to historical injustices—where land, culture, and traditions were taken or suppressed—many of these communities have been left in vulnerable financial and social positions.

To support them meaningfully, we actively raise funds for projects within the forest, and over 60% of all retreat proceeds are directed straight back to the tribes.

One of our most recent fundraising projects raised £14,000 to purchase a new power boat for the Huni Kuin community. A faster boat was urgently needed so community members could reach the city for food supplies and, most critically, access hospitals in medical emergencies. Previously, the journey took over eight hours, and tragically, lives were lost along the way. With the new boat, travel time has been reduced to around four hours—a difference that can be life-saving.

We are deeply committed to continuing this work and supporting more essential projects that directly improve lives in the forest.

If you would like to contribute or support future initiatives, please send us a message.
