The Inspirational Journey – Our Story in Brief

We are Rudra and Freyja, and we’re excited to share our journey with you.
This is the beginning of Freyja Selva, our new home, and our new way of life. While we are not yet fully self-sustainable, this is our ultimate goal. We invite you to join us in this process, as we navigate the joys and challenges of sustainable living and discover the true essence of freedom and connection.
Our journey reflects a commitment to living authentically and embracing the transformative power of the natural world. Here’s a brief overview of how we arrived at this point. Feel free to explore more about our journey and our philosophy. Our experiences have shaped us and our mission to create a sanctuary where others can also find inspiration.
Early Years and Challenges
We met when we were very young, and it was love at first sight. Our connection was instant and undeniable. Before we even realized what had happened, we welcomed our first baby into the world. Two years later, our second child was born, and our family felt whole.
As our children grew, we enrolled them in kindergarten when they turned three. Eventually, they transitioned to public school. During this time, Freyja pursued further education and returned to work. Rudra had a full-time job in IT and was also present in the family. We had a strong claim to equality. Like many families, we found ourselves fully immersed in the demands of modern life—balancing work, school, and household responsibilities.
Despite our deep love for each other and our children, we often felt exhausted and strained, with little time left to spend together. However, we always made the most of our weekends and vacations. Those precious moments were filled with laughter, joy, and togetherness. We cherished our time away from the daily grind, creating lasting memories and strengthening our bond as a family.
Even though the weekdays were often a blur of responsibilities, the weekends and holidays were our sanctuary. We explored new places, enjoyed simple pleasures, and reconnected with each other. These times reminded us of what truly mattered—our love and our family.
Through it all, our love remained a constant source of strength. We faced these challenges together, always striving to create a nurturing and loving environment for our children. Our journey has been filled with both joy and hardship, but our love for each other and our family has never wavered.

The Turning Point
The turning point was an Ayahuasca ceremony in 2016 that revealed to us inner freedom and made us understand that the chains we believed limited us never really existed, and that we are free to live our lives in whatever way we want.
This experience was such a liberation; after 12 hours, it felt like we had undergone 10 years of therapy. It was unbelievable to us that a medicine exists that helps so directly and efficiently in all matters. We felt so much better than before and still do today—9 years later.
In this very morning, we decided all together to leave our old life behind, take our family, and go to Brazil to learn more about these sacred medicines.

Back to Our True Home
Welcome to Freyja Selva, our sanctuary in the Brazilian jungle. With our older children on their way to independence, we are entering an amazing land on the outer edge of our beloved mountain jungle village. This land inspires us with countless future visions, and we embarked on our journey with trust and confidence, knowing this was where we were meant to be.

Discover how we’ve balanced our careers with our commitment to sustainable living and family life.

Nature Connection
Reconnect with nature through our experiences. Living in the Brazilian jungle has deepened our appreciation for the natural world. We see ourselves as nature; this is not only a connection but being one with nature, being nature itself. We experience ourselves as nature and as one humanity, appearing in our very own faces. This creates a sense of wholeness, of not being separated from anything. Join us as we explore the beauty and wisdom of nature, and learn how it has inspired our journey towards sustainability and healing.
Our time in the Brazilian jungle has taught us invaluable lessons about the interconnectedness of all life. We have come to understand that nature is not something outside of us, but something we are intrinsically a part of. This realization has brought us a profound sense of unity and belonging. By recognizing ourselves in the trees, rivers, and wildlife, we foster a deeper sense of responsibility and care for the environment.
As we delve into the wonders of nature, we invite you to witness the intricate web of life that binds us all. From the smallest insect to the tallest tree, every element plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem. Through our journey, we aim to share the insights and inspirations that nature has bestowed upon us, guiding us towards a more sustainable and healing way of living.
Join us in embracing this holistic perspective, where humanity and nature are not separate entities but parts of a greater whole. Together, we can cultivate a deeper connection to the earth and to each other, fostering a sense of unity and collective well-being.
