- A felt sense of inner freedom — the ability to navigate life without being pulled back into outdated patterns or survival mode.
THIS IS NOT A VACATION. THIS IS A RETURN TO YOURSELF.
It’s not a getaway, a wellness retreat, or an adventure holiday.
It’s not about escaping your life, chasing a quick fix, or collecting feel-good moments you’ll lose as soon as you’re back home.
This is an immersion into raw nature and inner truth—5 days in a 500-hectare family-run reserve in the Colombian jungle, where the outside world fades and what’s real comes forward.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in your work, uncertain about your next steps, or lost in a life that no longer feels like your own—this is where the fog clears. You’ll leave behind the noise, the overthinking, and the weight of false identities that have kept you small.
Where before you felt drained by self-doubt, fear, and routine, you will re-emerge with a grounded vision for your life, a renewed sense of purpose, and the confidence to move forward with clarity.
Guided by the grounding presence of the land, the story of its restoration, and deep inner exploration, you will re-emerge not just inspired—but steady, certain, and ready to create a life that fully fits.
This is not a pause from your life.
It’s a re-emergence into it—present, certain, and fully aligned with who you are becoming.
About the Facilitators
Ivan - Re-Emergence Facilitator
I’ve been coaching people like yourself since 2010.
At the core, my deepest drive has always been the same: to understand what makes a life truly meaningful — and how to guide others into that place of inner and outer freedom.
Before I became a coach, I was a mathematician. I used to spend my days solving complex abstract problems — and that mindset never left me. Except now, I apply it to the human experience. I’ve taken my obsession with finding solutions to the deepest level, diving into the most potent transformational methods out there: NLP, tapping, the Demartini Method, and many others.
I went from cracking mathematical equations to unlocking the human mind and setting it free.
Now, I bring you the full force of 15 years of experience as a coach — to help you shift your inner world, break free from what’s holding you back, and step into a life that finally feels like yours.
My story
I’ve lived through many versions of “success”: from academia to high-pressure sales, from launching coaching programs to burning out by following other people’s rules. I know what it’s like to feel capable on the outside but deeply disconnected inside.
What changed everything for me was reconnecting with the natural world — and with the truth of my own body. In the jungle, stripped of noise and distractions, I remembered what it means to feel deeply alive, clear, and on purpose.
That’s why I do this work in nature. Because nothing resets the nervous system and awakens the soul like stepping into harmony with the earth — and with yourself.
Fabio Cancogni
“With a calm, steady presence, he helps others move through stress, anxiety, and inner disconnection, holding space for both subtle shifts and profound inner work.”
I’m a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator and space holder, working at the intersection of conscious connected breath, functional breathing, and expanded states of awareness. I guide individuals and groups through breath-based journeys that support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deep reconnection with the body.
My story
I was born in Italy, but my path has taken me across the world—living in Hong Kong, Australia, Spain, and now Portugal.
I’m a lifelong seeker, finding balance through surfing, nature, and deep cultural connection.
For years, I worked as a structural engineer, following a conventional path. But beneath the surface, I was struggling—disconnected, overwhelmed, and facing one of the most challenging times in my life.
It was then that I discovered the power of breathwork. What started as a simple practice became a lifeline—helping me regulate, release, and reconnect with myself.
It supported my mental health and led me back to clarity and purpose.
Now, I share this work with others, creating safe spaces for people to come home to themselves.
Enilda — Social Psychologist, Facilitator in Leadership, Regeneration, and Peacebuilding
I’m a social psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the humanitarian field and in peacebuilding processes across Colombia, Central America, and the Horn of Africa. I have supported leaders, communities, and organizations in developing capacities for change management, resilience, and collaboration, in both corporate and community settings.
At Surikí, I facilitate immersive experiences for leaders and teams seeking to transform their vision and practice. I integrate participatory methodologies, reflective practices in natural environments, and both scientific and ancestral knowledge to cultivate a more human, resilient, and regenerative style of leadership — one capable of creating positive impact on people, organizations, and ecosystems.
My story
As a survivor of forced displacement and co-founder of the Surikí Nature Reserve — a destination of biodiversity and peace — my journey blends personal experiences of forgiveness and reconciliation with a solid academic foundation and methodological expertise in human development, conscious leadership, and connection with nature.

Transformational Stories through Fabio’s Breath Work
The breathwork with Fabio was truly magical. It was something I had never experienced before. Breath in, hold, release. The rhythm that was created put my body and mind into a higher space. Allowing me to perceive sounds and colours more intensely. It was very eye-opening to the possibilities that nature has already given us, if only we learn how to work with it. It’s beautiful how well Fabio masters this and shares this with the people around him.
I experienced Fabio in his Breathwork session as a very authentic soul with a strong and at the same time kind presence and heart that allowed me to feel held and safe whilst opening up and letting my self be in the beautiful process that Breathwork invites you to go through… Thank you for the space and your light
The breathwork session with Fabio was a powerful and meaningful experience.
He is an excellent guide, curating a safe and calm space, which enables you to be open and go deeper within yourself. He explains the process really well, warming you up to the session in a light and enjoyable way, helping you relax. The session was really well curated, as Fabio guides you through the journey.
My friend and I booked a private Breath work session with Fabio and absolutely loved it. We have done 3/4 sessions in the past and this was by far our favourite one. Fabio made us instantly feel relaxed and calm. He took lots of time before the session to explain everything through as well as loads of time afterwards to answer all of our questions about our experience. Also really liked the added extra of the tuning forks to the session which I have not experienced before. On top of this Fabio also took the time to email over some additional Breathwork exercises that I could incorporate in my day to day.
Location, Experience & What’s Included
Location
The Homecoming takes place in the Surikí Nature Reserve—500 hectares of restored rainforest in Colombia’s Urabá region, where the Darién jungle meets the Caribbean Sea.
For generations, the Jiménez family has lived on and cared for this land, turning it from depleted farmland into a thriving sanctuary of biodiversity. Today, it’s home to monkeys, tropical birds, sloths, and countless rare species—and a living example of resilience, forgiveness, and purposeful restoration.
Here, far from Wi-Fi, traffic, and routine, you’ll sleep in rustic cabins, eat fresh local meals, and explore the jungle by foot and boat. Every step connects you to the land’s story—and to your own process of re-emergence.
Intimate Setting
A small, carefully curated group (maximum 5 participants)
Two experienced facilitators guiding your journey
Space for depth, connection, and individualized attention
The Structure
Day 1 — Crossing the Threshold: Arrival & Land Connection
- Morning: Meet in Apartadó, then travel by boat for 2.5 hours through winding rivers and coastline into the Surikí Nature Reserve.
- Afternoon: Guided connection walk or boat ride—not just sightseeing, but a deliberate process of meeting the land that will hold your transformation. You’ll begin attuning your senses to the jungle’s rhythms and letting the outside world fade away.
- Evening: Settle into your rustic cabin, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Dinner together.
- Night: Optional cacao welcome ceremony to open the retreat and set intentions.
“Just like the jungle regenerates, you too will reconnect with your natural state—of clarity, joy, and aliveness”
Day 2 — Descent & Discovery: Inner Exploration I & II
- Morning Session: We begin by meeting yourself exactly where you are—beneath the roles and responsibilities that define your daily life. You’ll look honestly at the patterns, doubts, and fears that have been keeping you stuck, and begin to release the grip of old ways that no longer serve you.
- Afternoon Session: We go deeper, exploring where you’ve been reacting to life instead of shaping it. As these layers loosen, you’ll experience more space inside, the first sparks of confidence, and an emerging sense of what might be next.
- Evening Circle: A space to integrate the day’s insights and begin grounding them into awareness.
Day 3 — Re-Emergence Through Story & Community
- Morning Session: The Jiménez Story — Forgiveness, Resilience, Restoration, Purpose
- Meet the multi-generation stewards of Surikí who reclaimed this land after years of violence, loss, and degradation.
- Hear how they chose forgiveness over revenge, committed to the long work of resilience, restored 500 hectares of jungle, and built their purpose around regeneration.
- Their story is a raw, real-life example of re-emergence—turning hardship into grounded, purpose-driven action.

Day 4 — Re-Emergence as Creator
Early Morning – Quiet time to attune to the land’s energy—whether through stillness, mindful walking, or simply sitting with the sounds of the jungle..
Morning Session:
We step beyond analysis and planning.
This is about letting go of the need to “figure it out” and trusting what arises when you meet yourself fully in the present moment.
Guided through presence and intuitive facilitation, you’ll enter a space where your true purpose isn’t invented—it’s remembered.
Here, the vision is not something you create with the mind, but something you allow to re-emerge from your deeper self.
Afternoon Session:
Anchoring the re-emerged vision.
Translating the feeling and clarity into a grounded direction—so it lives beyond this retreat.
Connecting your renewed purpose to tangible next steps, not as a forced plan, but as a natural unfolding from who you’ve become.
Evening Circle:
Speaking your purpose and vision aloud, witnessed by the group.
Allowing the land, the community, and your own voice to seal the commitment to live from this place.
Day 5 — Sealing the Journey & Departure
- Morning Sealing Session:
A closing process to integrate the entire retreat experience.
Solidify your sense of purpose and the re-emergence you’ve cultivated.
Set personal intentions for the first steps you’ll take when returning home.
Late Morning:
Boat journey back through the rivers and waterways to the port village.
Transfer by car to Apartadó, where the retreat officially concludes.
The Structure
“Just like the jungle regenerates, you too will reconnect with your natural state—of clarity, joy, and aliveness”
The greatest barrier to letting go of the false identities that keep you stuck is the need to stay in control—holding on with the mind, avoiding the unknown, steering clear of discomfort.
This retreat is designed to break that pattern.
By joining, you make a powerful commitment: to trust that the unknown is where your deepest breakthroughs live.
That’s why we don’t reveal the full structure in advance—because surrendering to the process is part of the transformation.
What you can count on: these five days will be among the most unforgettable of your life.
For five days, you’ll journey deep within, connect to the powerful story of the land and its people, and immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the Colombian jungle—supported every step of the way.
