Paraiso da Vida

Conscious community and retreat for wellness and health in the Amazon, Brazil

The team behind Paraiso da Vida has a long track record in the work and distribution of holistic health products and services in Norway. Kjetil Dreyer and Anders Fjellheim are the owners of the place.

We have worked with professional construction engineers, architects, and chief builders during the construction period.

Beyond the core team, there are a number of helpers who have contributed to making this paradise ready, as well as many people who will organize various retreats, gatherings, and ceremonies in the time ahead.

Our vision is to make paradise accessible, comfortable, and appealing, and to bring people closer to nature and their higher selves. By bringing people to this place, we aim to contribute to healing in body, mind, and soul.

We wish to promote a holistic perspective on life and help people achieve healing on a holistic level through comprehensive methods.

For the body: pure food and the world’s cleanest water heal, along with various treatments and relaxing exercises, physical activity, detox, and revitalization.

For the mind: contact with other people, therapists, trauma specialists, and healers brings healing. The peace and quiet, as well as the absence of radiation and negative influences, allow the mind to rest and create space for processing.

For the soul: the power and influence of nature does its work while you are there. There are also a number of plant medicines for inner journeys. The calm environment helps the soul find peace. Through inner reflection and meditation, we can heal. We wanted a place for inner journeys and spiritual development—a place where we can be ourselves, develop ourselves, and become our higher selves together.

That is why we have called the place Paraiso da Vida Retreat & Community (Paradise of Life, or in Norwegian, livets paradis). It will be both a community and a retreat center with themed trips, wellness journeys, adventure trips, and much more.

Our dream has come true, and now we want to help you fulfill your dreams.

The place is especially ideal for organizers of retreats and groups, in addition to cabin owners as part of the on-site community.

Healing on all levels

We aim to promote true holistic health and well-being through nutrition, healing, and wellness for the body, mind, and soul, with a central focus on genuine science and the healing arts.

The core of Paraiso da Vida Community & Retreat is to create a place based on natural law, well-being, peace, prosperity, and individual sovereignty. The purpose is to build a community that helps everyone who visits or lives there to heal body, mind, and soul.

It will serve as a model for how future interactions can work in practice and for sustainable ways of living in harmony with nature. We will focus on the following:

  • To establish a physical environment and local community that promotes sustainable prosperity.

  • To create a community of like-minded, peaceful people with a desire for inner development and togetherness.

  • To remove barriers and limitations to human expression while simultaneously creating an area of peace and order.

  • To create a protective environment (land) for the development of the human soul.

  • To empower people to find and reclaim themselves and their sovereignty.

  • To promote unity of the human family without to many systems.

  • To support sustainable ways of living for human families.

  • To promote true holistic health and well-being through nutrition, healing, and wellness for the body, mind, and soul, with a central focus on genuine science and the healing arts.

  • For events that present a sustainable vision for a new Earth through the celebration and exhibition of art, music, theater, dance, food, new disciplines, healing, and wisdom.

  • To develop a community with as few rules as possible, the best possible flow, and with respect, tolerance, and understanding.

  • In the long term, to create an “elders council” for guidance and wisdom on the property.
