Ecuadorian Amazon
Seven nights of deep immersion in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Nature and personal growth, held together as a single experience.
Welcome
DC OASIS is an exclusive community centred on transformational retreats for groups of twelve people in highly inspiring natural places.
The project is led by two architects specialised in designing spaces with high human value, Nuria Vidal Domper and Sílvia Forns Castells, DOMPERCASTELLS.
DC OASIS translates that extensive background in conscious design into the creation, curation, and operation of unmatched retreats, beginning in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
The Method
Our retreat is built on the combination of a mental and somatic transformation within a unique natural environment.
Works on focus, beliefs, emotions, identity, decisions, mission, values, and limiting patterns.
Works on body, energy, presence, breath, regulation, movement, sensory connection, and the physical integration of experience.
Regulates, connects, and returns us to our roots, grounded in principles such as biophilia.
We believe in the potential for lasting transformation that arises from the integration of these three pillars. For this reason, our retreats do not include the use of any kind of psychoactive substances: transformation is born from each person, never from a substance.
The place
Retreats are set in the Ecuadorian Amazon, a few minutes from the Napo River, one of the great tributaries of the Amazon River.
The most biodiverse forest on earth can do something to a person that no meeting room ever could: return them to their roots and expand their consciousness. Each lodge is chosen by hand, for its comfort, its setting, and the quality of attention it offers to our guests.
The programme
Seven nights conceived as a complete arc, from arrival to return. Each day integrates energy, emotion, focus, decision, and transformation.
Arrival and a shift in inner state, building energy, presence, and the decision to begin.
An honest look at how life is really being lived, from clarity and energy or from pressure and disconnection.
Identifying the beliefs, standards, and inherited patterns that have shaped what has been accepted so far.
Mission and direction are redesigned, with body work anchoring the new clarity beyond thought alone.
Turning the experience into a personal discipline of mental and physical habits to carry forward.
The retreat closes as the start of a sustained practice, with a clear path to return to and build on.
The team
DC OASIS brings together a carefully selected group of experts. Each guides from their own discipline, while the person living the retreat remains the protagonist of their own transformation.
