Begin your experience at the Visitor Center of Iguaçu National Park. Head straight to the access trail to the São João Circuit, where you walk about 3 km until you reach Espaço Usina, where you can stop to take in the scenery and enjoy the café.
Start with a mindful introduction to the science and sensitivity of immersion. Learn about natural aromatherapy and how the volatile bioactive compounds released by trees help you relax.
Discover how the forest’s sounds and color palettes alter brainwaves, inducing deep relaxation. Understand the connection between nature’s rhythms and your own internal cycles, helping you understand psychological time and emotions.
Enter the trail with the guidance to maintain mindfulness, contemplation, and inner silence. Make stops to identify local plants through the lens of both science and ancestral Guarani wisdom.
Read the forest’s ecological interactions and draw parallels with human relationships, feelings, and lifestyles. Conclude with practical exercises for grounding and releasing tension.
Practice conscious breathing techniques for absorbing vitality (prana) and the energy of the forest. Use touch and stretching, direct contact with the trees, and subtle body movements to release physical stress and finish in deep relaxation.
