"Ecstasy is when you are so balanced and aligned mentally,
emotionally, and physically that you automatically let go of all
thoughts, tensions, and concerns." -
Tammy Foster-Dias


We welcome you to our surf and yoga retreat, located in the
Itacaré area of
Bahia, Brasil, where you can experience this uplifting, spiritual experience of
ecstasy...

Come and feel the warm tropical breezes, surf our outstanding waves, stretch
your mind, body and soul, bathe all of your stress away in our sacred
waterfalls, and tide pools, explore the jungle, or go river rafting. Watch the sun
come up over the ocean's horizon; smell the Cacau (cocoa) which the Gold
Coast is famous for; dance in the streets with the local Capoeiristas; or
Samba the night away...

We invite you to AWAKEN your own roots within yourself in communion with
nature. In our practice of yoga, capoeria, and surf we have come to recognize
that when the right set of ingredients are brought together and combined in a
very conscious way, spirit has the ability to move freely and transform
whatever is offered.

Take root and begin to GROW... We think you will be inspired.
Our tribe proudly runs its adventures out of the
Aldeia da Mata Eco-Lodge
