Join our first-ever TEMPLEFY retreat in exquisite Southern Bahia, Brazil~
You are invited to a transformative experience at the TEMPLEFY YOUR LIFE retreat, held in the pristine beauty of Bahia, Brazil, within the sacred region of the Mata Atlantica (Atlantic Forest). This area, where lush rainforests meet warm, inviting oceans, serves as an ideal backdrop for a week dedicated to deepening connections to both nature and spirit.
Over the course of seven days, the retreat will focus on cultivating a lifestyle founded on a sacred relationship with the inner and outer temples of life. A harmonious blend of ritual, movement, rest, exploration, and reflection will provide opportunities to deepen connections to land, water, body, relationships, and community as sacred expressions of the divine.
Join in this enriching experience to Templefy your life and foster a deeper connection with the Sacred.
To Love is to Templefy
Explore the healing wisdom of tending as a love language that connects us to life and each other. Holding our interdependence as our most vitally transformative teacher with the potential to support our growth and evolution, this retreat invites you to embrace your role as a steward of your life and your relationships. We will celebrate our interconnectedness and the sacredness of belonging.
Templefying as a Conscious Lifestyle Choice…
Templefying is a spiritual practice rooted in the act of tending. This retreat encourages you to acknowledge the inherent worthiness of love and care in every aspect of your life. Just as temples serve as sanctuaries for worship and peace, we will cultivate practices that honor the sacred within ourselves and all our relationships.
Imagine embodying yourself, the earth, and your relationships as sacred temples, requiring intentionality and nurturing. Throughout our time together, you will engage in conscious lifestyle choices that foster deep care, engagement, and commitment.
This is not just a retreat but a return to our inherent wisdom—an invitation to embrace tending as an integral part of our genetic heritage and human legacy.
Join us in this unique experience as we collectively foster a deeper connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the Earth, aligning with the sacred practice of templefying in our everyday lives.
Join us for a week-long retreat dedicated to nurturing our relationships with the Sacred (Temples) in our lives.

Lined with Coconut trees, the finest gold speckled powdery white sands, and an embracing warm and sparkling ocean at 82-84 degrees year-round, Praia Sargi is a total slice of exquisite tropical paradise, where the rain forest meets the Ocean. From our home base at Praia Sargi, we’ll explore the surrounding areas, including cacao farms, visits to waterfalls, boat rides through mangroves, and more! You’ll also have the opportunity to immerse yourselves in Afro-Brazilian Culture through music, movement, and rituals at the Festas de Iemanjá, the Iemanjá Festival, which occurs on the 2nd of February each year. *(This will be an optional additional day for both cohorts, if you choose to stay a day later (bipoc cohort) or come a day earlier (all inclusive cohort).
