Mission & Vision

Welcome to The Lighthouse
Europe’s most established Huachuma retreat

At The Lighthouse, our mission is to create conscious, heart-centered gatherings guided by the wisdom of plant medicines and held in deep respect for both ancient tradition and modern understanding.

Alongside Huachuma, we also offer carefully held psilocybin retreats. We have come to appreciate that different medicines can illuminate different aspects of human experience.

We welcome open and inquisitive people seeking personal discovery, emotional healing, and deeper connection with themselves, others, and nature.

We are located in the heart of the Douro Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty, just 50 km east of Porto (≈50 min by car / 60 min by train, ≈€45 by Uber/Bolt). The house sits on peaceful land surrounded by nature, with fruit trees you can pick from, pine groves, and comfortable wooden platforms where you can sit, rest, or reflect. As you walk the land, you’ll find many quiet corners to slow down, be alone, and take in the beauty of the valley in a simple yet comfortable setting.

A safe Haven
I have had a really meaningfull and soulfull experience at The Lighthouse: My very first experience of this kind!

Luciana and Isher are very caring, attentive and respectful hosts. They have put a lot of work, care and love to their place. I have felt welcomed and confortable. I am not talking yest about Chuma, really adorable dog!

I also enjoyed the presence of the participants and the connections we have weaved together.
Thank you all for this time. I am very grateful. Highly recommend it.

Couldn't have asked for more
Isher and Marijke accompanied by their beautiful dogs made my feel very safe and comfortable the whole retreat, from arriving until departure. You can really feel the soul of the retreat with its genuineness and authenticity. The location is absolutely breathtaking - the view, the house, the garden. Thanks for an unforgettable weekend.

Great place and people
I had a very good time in the Lighthouse. The guides are very genuine and grounded people and we had some great conversations. The place is so peaceful. I left there feeling very balanced and harmonic. I'd like to come back.

Simply Amazing
Isher, Marijke, and Nancy went above and beyond to ensure we all had enriching and meaningful experiences. The residence is in a gorgeous location and the ceremonies were done with great care. Personally, I had a very moving experience and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of all 3 of them. It was an unforgettable time and I will cherish the experience far into the future.
