"In every walk with nature, man receives far more than he seeks." – John Muir

The disconnect...

Like many animals, humans have been domesticated.

Life has knocked us out of sync. Out of sync with our minds, out of sync with our bodies, out of sync with our hearts, out of sync with our spirit.

Society makes us believe that our true nature is flawed and that embracing the wild within us is dangerous. It makes us believe that we are all broken and that products and technology will "fix" our lives.

It is this lack of connection and understanding of our true nature that has led us to harm ourselves, our communities and the planet.

It's time to reconnect...

As human beings is our responsibility to examine our cultural paradigms, realign our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and reclaim our birthright.

REWILDING is a transformative men's experience in the the Amazon Jungle for the purpose-driven man ready to embrace his inner wild and rekindle his connection to nature.

By bridging indigeous cultural experiences, a complete nature immersion, men's leadership training and unshakable brotherhood, we take men through a self-tranformational journey for the sake themselves, their communities and the planet.

In our essence, we are truly wild.

What is Rewilding?

Rewilding (/ˌriːˈwaɪl.dɪŋ/): the process of protecting an environment and returning it to its natural state, for example by reintroducing a lost animal species to their natural habitat.

In our essence, we’re truly wild.

While activists and enviromentalists are taking action to protect and rewild our environment, there is an opportunity for us as men to apply the same rewilding principles to our lives.

To rewild the environment means to help nature recover and flourish. To rewild ourselves means to revert back to a natural or untamed state of being. It is the process of undoing unhealthy modern conditioning and recreating a culture and lifestyle beyond domestication.

Rewilding isn’t about trying to go back to living as hunter-gatherers. Rather, it is about examining our cultural paradigms, seeing how they affect our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and reclaiming our birthright as men.

We can't rewild the earth if we don't rewild ourselves.

SO WHAT DOES THE EXPERIENCE LOOK LIKE?

Back To Nature

1. To Our Nature

As men, our quality of life and the impact we make in the world is the direct reflection of one thing: our level of commitment to our inner work and healing.

In order to create the life we want to live, we must be willing to face our fears, explore our edge, lean into the unknown.

Only when we go within can we can we truly know what we are made of.

Reconnecting with your true nature will empower you to unapologetically express our truth, own our power and lead with an open heart.

2. To Mother Nature

One of the foundations of Sapara culture is mutual respect of each other and their environment. Their world is based on recognizing the sacredness of all things – living or inanimate or even invisible.

They understand that the are not superior, nor are they owners of the land or the forest. We are equal to all other life.

We will going into the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon and spending time with the Sapara community led by world-reknown indigenous leader, Manari Ushigua to reconnect and cultivate a deeper reverence with mother nature.

What Men Have to Say:

Brenden is a man I’d go into any corner of the earth with. His leadership in tandem with his heart showed me that it is possible to be a heart centered leader. He allowed all of me to go deep and gave me permission to explore my inner life. All of this with enough humor and levity to make me feel safe and comfortable.

Daniel Sharman, Actor

Jose was patient, supportive, present and allowed me the space fo experience my own journey as he did with the other men. This experience guided me towards a portal into a better sense of self discovery. Not one of “figuring out the answers” but one of allowing the answers to emerge from the internal out.

Frequently Asked Questions:

We Have an Answer!

Are there COVID requirements for coming into Ecuador

No proof of negative PCR test before entry is required. Please check the official government website or your airline for the most up-to-date information.

Can Naku accommodate my allergies?

Our cooking staff are able to cater to most dietary requirements, so please inform the team before arrival.

What are the accommodations like?

We describe the Naku Center as rustic luxury. Each person will sleep on a single bed on an open air platform with a covered thatched roof. Each bed comes with full linens and a mosquito net. The bathrooms are fully functional, including running filtered water, showers and compost toilets. There are outlets available to charge devices thanks to the solar power technology.

There is no WiFi at the Naku Center. However, if there is an emergency, WiFi can be accessed in Llanchamacocha where the plane lands and the community lives. It's a stunning 10-minute canoe ride on the Amazon River to the Naku site.

What do I need to bring? Is there a packing list?

In short, pack lightly and pack only what you will need. You will want lightweight, moisture-wicking, long sleeved shirts and long pants for the rainforest. We will supply mosquito nets, sleeping mat, pillow and blanket and rubber boots for jungle trekking. We will have a community video call prior to the experience to ensure all of your questions are answered.

Inside the community, you'll have an opportunity to purchase local handmade crafts like jewelry and ceramics from the woman. We have found that $250 in personal spending cash for inside and outside of the jungle is sufficient.

Passport, visa, travel insurance?

Your passport must be valid for at least six months past your date of entry in order to enter Ecuador. You will not be allowed to enter the country with a passport that expires within six months of your date of entry. Be sure to check your passport now to see if you meet this requirement so you can secure a timely renewal if necessary. No visa is required for entry with a Canadian or US passport.

We REQUIRE that you purchase travel insurance (medical & flight cancellation) for your time away from home. This kind of travel can be unpredictable and weather dependent.

Is there a clean drinking water?

Throughout the journey, both in the cities and in the jungle, we will always have access to potable drinking water. We have a 3-stage water filter system at Naku. In the mornings in the jungle, there will be coffee and tea served using purified drinking water.

Medical and Health Preparations

In countries like Ecuador, diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and hepatitis can be contracted. However, if the necessary preventative steps are taken, these illnesses can be successfully avoided. This information is provided to keep you safe and healthy during the trip. Please review this guide for detailed healthcare information and consult with your doctor for the approach that is best for you. If you are committed to homeopathic or herbal medicines, information on these alternatives is also included.

Medical Information:

Malaria: The rainforest region we will be visiting has very little to no malaria. However, the decision to take preventative medicine is an individual decision. Prescription Malarone has proven most effective for malaria, China is a homeopathic option and Artemisia (Wormwood) is a good herbal option.

Immunizations: No immunizations are required for entry into Ecuador unless you are entering from an endemic area. Yellow fever immunization is required if you are passing through any other South American country on your way to Ecuador (even when you are only in an airport) or if you are entering Ecuador from an endemic area. The Center for Disease Control has an extensive website with travel related information at http://www.cdc.gov/travel/index.htm. Your Ecuadorian consulate can also advise you on current requirements.

Please consult your healthcare professional or local travel clinic for more information on these topics and to meet your specific needs. It is generally recommended to have an updated Hep A, Hep B, and Tetanus vaccination. If you choose to get a typhoid vaccination we recommend taking it orally for less side effects.

Intestinal issues:

For intestinal protection, two Pepto Bismol tablets can be taken before each meal. Cinnamon bark and peony – take four capsules before each meal throughout the trip – can have the same effect.

To protect against unwanted bacteria and parasites in the intestines, take two capsules daily before eating of Acidophilus and Bifidus and one capsule of Kyolic garlic. Begin this regime 1 week before departure and continue throughout the trip. We recommend Traveler’s Probiotic by New Roots.

Vaccinations are not required, but check with your local travel clinic for updated information. We recommend that your Hepatitis A/B and Tetanus vaccinations are current. There is currently no Malaria in this part of the Sapara territory.
