21 days to regenerate body, mind, and spirit in the heart of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest.

NEITHER A SUPERFICIAL RETREAT NOR ORDINARY TOURISM.

LoveVision is a deep immersion in preserved nature, ancestral wisdom, and daily practices that awaken your best self, without dogmas, with purpose, and with real social impact.

What is LoveVision

More than a trip, LoveVision is a 21-day transformative journey inside and out.

You will experience the strength of the Atlantic Forest, learn from traditional communities, and practice daily techniques that realign your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Created by Alyda Costa and Alessandro Petrilli, the program is based on the premise that “only love heals” — and this healing is accessible, real, and sustainable.

Voices from the Journey

What Participants Say

“I’ve traveled to over 20 countries in search of meaningful experiences... but nothing touched me as deeply as LoveVision. The intermittent fasting, the ancestral rituals, the raw connection with nature and the vibrant culture of the coast of Brazil — it all brought me back to who I truly am. It wasn’t just a retreat — it was a rebirth. I’ve never felt so clear, so present, so whole. This journey changed my life.”

- Laion Cross

“Something sacred awakened in me during LoveVision. Each morning felt like a prayer, fasting in silence, walking barefoot through ancient trails, chanting under the trees.
I came seeking clarity... and found communion.
With the land, with the people, with the divine within me. LoveVision is not a retreat. It’s a sacred portal back to the essence of life.”

- Melisa Ortiz
