What we do
Co-creating a prosperous future through expanded awareness, ecology, and education.
WARU generates significant impact through a set of core projects, each grounded in nature-based solutions and unlocking human potential.
Our initiatives are carried out by our team, in collaboration with events, local communities, researchers, and in the formation of living models of ecological and social regeneration.
These programs are designed to be adaptable, replicable, and at the service of both local action and global transformation.
Awareness Retreats and Programs
Personal Development
At the heart of WARU lies a call for return — to essence, to presence, and to the sacred.
We organize immersive retreats that support:
• Self-awareness and inner transformation
• Conscious living
• Spiritual practice and spirit connection
• Dialogue, silence, immersion in nature, and ancestral ceremonies
• Leadership training connected to intuition and heart, creating more ethical work environments.
These retreats take place in deep communion with the earth, inviting individuals and groups to...
to experience healing, clarity, and an awakening of purpose.
Ecological Restoration Sanctuary and
Biodiversity Preservation
WARU maintains a reserve dedicated to preservation in one of the most biodiverse regions of the world. Brazil, at the meeting point of the Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest biomes.
Much of this land has suffered from extractive activities — including mining, fire and
cattle pasture.
Our work focuses on restoring these sacred lands and reactivating the web of life through:
• Reforestation and soil healing
• Restoration of springs and watercourses
• Mapping and care of native flora and fauna
• Protection and regeneration of native biomes
• Partnerships with scientists, agroforestry practitioners, and guardians of traditional knowledge.
School of Nature
Our School of Nature is a space for environmental education and community learning, rooted in the values of connection, presence, and care.
We offer:
• Experiential learning retreats and immersions
• Regenerative practices courses (under development)
• Events aligned with planetary healing and the SDGs (under development)
We believe that education is essential to spreading regenerative culture. The programs are designed to be adaptable to diverse contexts and aim to inspire both local and global action.
Research and Development
WARU serves as a living laboratory for ecological innovation and cultural renewal.
Our R&D (Research and Development) projects are designed to integrate science, collective participation, and traditional wisdom.
We support:
• Restoration and monitoring of local biodiversity
• Community-based conservation models
• Exchange of knowledge between academic fields, knowledge of indigenous peoples, and practical experience.
• Regenerative technologies and sustainable design
• Participatory approaches to land care
A living ecosystem
Together, these core projects form a living ecosystem of transformation — restoring lands, awakening hearts, and regenerating cultures.
​
Waru is not merely a place, but the pulse of a collective and ancestral memory, of connection and responsibility.​
​
Through our work, we invite you to be part of a greater movement: a movement that honors the Earth, awakens human potential, and sows a future where nature and consciousness thrive as one.
