Old Rio has stories carved into its walls. We’ll capture its layered history, from colonial facades to modernist gems. In Little Africa, we’ll visit the city’s oldest samba school and photograph behind-the-scenes carnival rehearsals. To close the week, we’ll witness an Umbanda ceremony deep in an ecological park—where Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous, and Spiritist traditions converge beneath waterfalls and towering trees.

 
This retreat isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about curiosity, play, and expression on your own terms. It’s a space shaped by women, where we support each other in telling stories, noticing beauty, and finding meaning. You’ll reconnect with your vision—not just through the lens, but through reflection, movement and shared experience.

We’ll document real-life moments and live them fully—beach hangouts, forró, spontaneous exchanges with locals—these aren’t extras, they’re the essence of the experience.

After 25 years in visual storytelling and travel, I’ve come to believe the most powerful images are born from connection—from being present and creating in community.
