Phoenix Trips

The Phoenix trip is not a vacation where you return with a tan and a few souvenirs. It is a comprehensive journey towards an inner transformation of oneself with the support of an experienced guide. A journey that will probably leave a lasting impression.

"We have been working with the healing power of the Amazon since 2016. In practice, we have verified the incredible transformations that people go through. It is enough to listen to their soul and allow their body – physical, emotional, mental, and energetic – to draw from the rainforest."

Phoenix Trips

Radim Ondříšek

You will enjoy this expedition if...

The everyday stress and high work pace are not sustainable forever. They disrupt our mental and physical balance. How do you know it's time for a Phoenix stay?

Are you exhausted, losing motivation, and wanting to discover the meaning of your business and life.

You need to relieve stress and/or desire a significant change in your life.

Do you want to develop and expand your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual capacity.

You feel that something important is missing in your life. You are seeking inspiration and direction on where to go.

Do you want to free yourself from all sorts of roles and feel at least for a moment truly free.

What you will experience during your stay

The Phoenix trip is primarily based on the traditions of South American indigenous peoples, on the wisdom of the jungle and mountains. It makes use of a millennia of experience along with techniques to remain connected and in harmony with the environment and oneself.

You will find balance in all layers. What could take you years to build can be created here in a matter of days.

You will find balance in all layers. What you would normally build over years, you will create here in a matter of days.

You will step out of your comfort zone and connect with the immense power of the rainforest.

You will step out of the comfort zone and connect with the immensely powerful energy of the jungle.

You will be the creator of your own change when untouched nature touches your soul.

You will broaden your view of the world and can once again live in joy and harmony with nature.

You can calm your mind, reset your intuition, and let the cosmos resonate.

We are committed to protecting nature and restoring ecosystems. Our activities contribute to sustainability for future generations.

Phase 1

Uncoupling

In a safe environment, you quiet down and let go of what troubles you.

The exercises that we use at this stage will calm you down and at the same time free you from the constant stream of oppressive thoughts. With special techniques, we will gradually guide you to perceive yourself. Physically, emotionally, and on an intuitive level (soul). Part of your "jungle therapy" will also be journaling, where you can note down your dreams, how you feel, what you are missing, or what you have achieved.

Phase 2

Observation

Look at yourself from an observer's perspective and immerse yourself in relaxation.

3rd phase

Uncoupling

You will enter different states of perception of reality and clarify your direction.

As soon as you open yourself to a second perception of yourself, you will begin to practice techniques for controlling different levels. You will strengthen them, play with them, and create your own harmonization processes. With the help of a guide, you will enter other states of perception, completely without psychedelics or demanding breathing techniques. You will enter your unconscious, into the so-called chambers of old contracts and desires.

The stay of the Phoenix and its individual phases

Phase 1

Uncoupling

In a safe environment, you quiet down and let go of what troubles you.

Phase 2

Observation

Look at yourself from an observer's perspective and immerse yourself in relaxation.

The exercises and techniques used in this phase will guide you to the level of observing the individual layers of your body. At the same time, relaxation techniques will also be used, through which you will understand which part and which of the bodies it affects, thus confirming their existence and understanding that not everything is just about the mind and the physical body.

3rd phase

Creation

You will enter altered states of consciousness and clarify your direction.

As soon as you open yourself to a second perception of yourself, you will begin to practice techniques for controlling different levels. You will strengthen them, play with them, and create your own harmonization processes.

You will enter your unconscious, into the so-called chambers of old contracts and desires.

4th phase

Observation

Look at yourself from an observer's perspective and immerse yourself in relaxation.

What should I take with me?

If we had to share one piece of advice with volunteers, it would be to keep an open mind and a sense of adventure. The second piece of advice would be to pack light.

How much will this transformative trip cost?

The total price for the stay is 3300 USD

The price includes:

Food

Accommodation

Transportation in Ecuador during the trip

The costs of trips (visiting the Shuar community or a trip to the caves, etc.)

All workshops, exercises, and work, including teaching materials

Price EXCLUDES:

Your flights or transport to Ecuador

Transport between the airport where you land and Gualaquiza

Travel insurance

How can we get to there?

The Phoenix Trip begins in Gualaquiza, a town near the Ecuadorian Amazon and the base camp/refuge Bosque Medicinal. The closest international airports are quite far away, and the bus ride from the airport to the jungle takes quite some time. Please plan your journey accordingly. We will do everything we can to assist you with your travel plans.

Flights:

*You are responsible for booking your flights; the cost of flights IS NOT included in the fees we charge for the jungle expedition.

We recommend flying in to Guayaquil, as the airport often has more convenient connections and is cheaper than flying to Cuenca, which is technically closer. Quito is much further north, and consequently we do not recommend flying in to Quito.

Bus:

Once you land, take a taxi to the bus station and then take a bus to Gualaquiza. We will meet in Gualaquiza either at the bus station or at the hostel “El Paraíso.” The hostel is just a block from the bus station.

We are happy to help with all travel arrangements, but please contact us well in advance!
