Golden Horizons Seniors 65+ Retreat in the Amazon Rainforest
For those who, after decades of work, family and giving, deserve an entire week where the only commitment is to feel well. The rainforest knows how to be gentle too.
"The years don't wrinkle the soul: they polish it."
The Golden Age, in the Rainforest
There's an age when time, at last, stops rushing. An age when there's nothing left to prove — only much to remember, be grateful for and celebrate. This retreat was born from that certainty.
Seven days of carefully chosen experiences: gentle movement, memory and storytelling, ancestral ceremonies, serene nature, flavors and celebration. All at a gentle pace, with sacred pauses and a team attentive to each participant's wellbeing, in a safe and deeply welcoming setting.
Easy-access rooms, adapted trails, a sacred nap and constant support — because wellbeing is also measured in calm.
What awaits you every day
Body
Sunrise tai chi, gentle chair yoga, guided stretching and serene walks along accessible trails. Every practice adapts to each participant's pace and condition.
Mind
The "Chapters of My Life" workshop, guided meditations and conversation spaces to organize memories and celebrate what's been lived. The Book of My Life: a handmade journal that travels home with you.
Soul
An ancestral guayusa ceremony, cacao ceremony, fire ritual and sound healing with Tibetan bowls. Amazonian wisdom meeting the wisdom of the years.
Nature
A canoe ride on Kawana Lagoon with bird watching, a visit to the garden and gentle walks through the Hamadryade reserve. The rainforest, at an easy pace.
Legacy
The "Letters to Those I Love" workshop, finishing the Book of My Life and planting a tree — the Rebirth Ritual. What's been lived becomes a gift for children and grandchildren.
Pleasure
An Amazonian cooking class, a bean-to-bar cacao workshop, a sommelier-led wine tasting with gourmet pairings, a professional photo session and a six-course gala dinner.
Designed for your comfort
Easy-access rooms, adapted trails within the lodge, transfers with rest stops and a nap included as part of the program. Everything designed so you set the pace.
The retreat team accompanies each participant continuously, attentive to individual health and wellbeing. No one is left behind here.
