Mana Inani
Planting the seeds that nourish and heal us.
We believe it is our responsibility not only to receive medicines from the forest but also to help preserve and cultivate them.
In 2023, we became guardians of 32 hectares of land in Southern Bahia, Brazil.
Mana Inani is a beautiful valley located near the Conduru State Park, one of the most important protected areas of the Atlantic Forest.
The land is crossed by a river fed by five natural springs and surrounded by preserved rainforest.
It is a rare ecosystem where cacao, açaí, jagube, and chacrona thrive beneath the forest canopy.
In 2024, we planted 1,000 chacrona plants and 1,000 jagube vines, beginning our long-term commitment to cultivating the sacred plants used in the preparation of the sacred tea.
The land already produces native cacao across eight hectares and açaí berries across six hectares.
For 2027, we are planning permaculture workshops with experts to further our food self-sufficiency, focusing primarily on cassava, bananas, and pineapples, as well as fruit trees, bamboo, and more.
A wonderful opportunity to learn with us and enjoy an immersive experience at Mana Inani.
Jungle Loft & Sacred Maloca
In March 2026, we inaugurated our first communal house, the Jungle Loft, along with a ceremonial space located in the heart of the forest.
The Jungle Loft serves as a gathering place where participants can share meals, rest in hammocks, and enjoy views of the river and surrounding forest.
At the center of the land stands our 16-meter-diameter maloca, a space dedicated to prayer, celebration, ceremony, and community gatherings.
Tempo é Arte is the non-profit organization at the heart of Mana Inani.
Its mission is to bring hope to future generations through the preservation of culture, the regeneration of land, and the transmission of traditional knowledge.
We believe that the earth nourishes us not only through food and medicine but also through beauty, creativity, and connection.
Singing, dancing, storytelling, prayer, and artistic creation are essential pathways for human flourishing.
Mana Inani is therefore being developed as a living center where Indigenous communities, artists, healers, farmers, and seekers can meet, exchange knowledge, and create together.
Through artistic residencies, cultural gatherings, educational programs, ceremonies, and ecological projects, we hope to contribute to a more balanced and regenerative future.

Culture and Agriculture for Future Generations
Mana Inani is only beginning.
There is still much to build and cultivate.
Over the coming years we will continue developing simple eco-lodges, expanding food production, planting more medicinal and native species, and strengthening the infrastructure needed to welcome visitors in a sustainable way.
Beginning in 2027, we plan to host bioconstruction workshops, permaculture trainings, artistic residencies, and community gatherings alongside Novo Passo retreats.
Every step is guided by a simple intention : To create a place where spirituality, ecology, culture, and community can grow together.
For 2027, we are planning Bio Construction workshops with experts to learn how to construct simple lodges using the materials that the land provides. A wonderful opportunity for an immersive experience at Mana Inani.
We warmly welcome you to visit Mana Inani and walk this path with us.
