At the Bahia Reboot Retreat, you will not only experience nature, but also eat from the land, drink from the Brazilian most vast and pristine groundwater, but also have the opportunity to learn new ways of healthy eating, starting from educating yourself on strategies for smart food choice, understand the relationship with your body and the food and drink you consume, from the body and raw aliments to the core relationship between nutrients and the cell system. This is a smart way to understand the meaning of the phrase: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!

At the Bahia Reboot Retreat, we transfer knowledge and experience based on our journey, whether it comes from guest speakers, the Village Community, our guests, or our executive team. These are real-life experiences that are much better absorbed and understood than anecdotes written in books to impress to sell more. Besides that, we are constantly testing our learning by experimenting with shared recipes and ways of making, preparing, and eating food. This is part of our core value: Listen, Observe, Learn, Experiment, and build an Experience.

At the Bahia Reboot Retreat, we encourage the use of positive words and the grooming of positive thoughts. Especially when it comes to mental balance, it is important to uplift our thinking process with words and activities that endorse healthy thoughts and healthy behavior in a holistic way. This includes, but is not limited, to walking trails, horse riding, river baths, and other exploration activities. We also have the philosophical time at the Tolo, where we discuss themes that have the power to change ourselves, our community, and the planet, in a lasting positive way.

In some rural areas in Brazil, there are no public sewage systems. In these areas, house owners build their wastewater system, which usually consists of a septic tank dug in the ground. Most of the projects use cement on the bottom and the side walls, however, there is no guarantee that it won’t leak into the ground and reach the groundwater tables. We plan to donate material to people in the community around Bahia Reboot and abroad who still use this type of wastewater treatment. It costs only $600 to build a "banana tree eco-friendly wastewater treatment plant”, which consists of a system that utilizes parts of the banana tree, like the pseudostem (false trunk), as a natural filter to treat wastewater, essentially using the plant's ability to absorb pollutants and nutrients from the water, acting as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional wastewater treatment methods. 

Educating the local farmers about the dangers of pesticides, herbicides, and industrialized fertilizers, providing them with alternative inexpensive eco methods that will protect their lands for generations to come, their health, the health of their families, and their customers.

We are planning to make and print handouts, and also hold events in the community with guest speakers.

If you have any ideas or would like to volunteer, please contact us before April 2025.

Please contact us if you would like to make donations. We are planning to build at least 10 “banana tree eco-friendly wastewater treatment plants” by the end of 2025.

Note: We are not a non-profit organization, therefore, any contributions are not tax-deductible, and money transactions will be dealt with on a case-by-case direct contact. We will be 100% transparent with the allocation of the money and resources acquired and will provide any form of proof available if you require it.
