This retreat is a collaboration between Burgundy Roots Retreats and The Wanderlust Women.

Burgundy Roots creates authentic, halal-friendly travel experiences focused on cultural immersion and supporting local communities. Their philosophy is to create meaningful journeys that allow travellers to experience spiritual and emotional growth through travel while supporting local businesses and communities.

The Brazil Adventure retreat is a curated cultural journey exploring the vibrant history, culture, and landscapes of Rio de Janeiro. The itinerary explores the often untold history of Islam and resistance in Brazil, while also experiencing the city’s music, food, art, and traditions.

Throughout the trip, guests will also learn from renowned scholar Mustafa Briggs, who will deliver lectures and storytelling sessions about Black history and Islam, bringing deeper meaning to the places visited.

Alongside the historical program, every day, you’ll be guided by Amira, the heart behind The Wanderlust, whose mission is to empower women through movement, spirituality, and deep inner work. Amira’s classes are more than just sessions — they are a journey back to yourself. Drawing from her years of travelling the world, climbing mountains, and working closely with women from all backgrounds, her teachings blend physical grounding with spiritual alignment. Through her classes, Amira helps you reconnect with your natural fitrah, release emotional tension, and nurture the parts of yourself that are often neglected in the chaos of the Dunya.
