Affordable 3-Day Sacred Medicine Retreat in Southern Portugal
Affordable 3-Day Sacred Medicine Retreat in Southern Portugal
Lagos, Portugal
Up to 8 in group
Jul 4 - 6, 2027
Retreat Highlights
- A RETREAT IN THE HEART OF THE ALGARVE: Discover Lagos, one of Portugal's most beloved coastal destinations. Set along the spectacular southern coast of Portugal, Lagos is equal parts laid-back beach town and lively historic destination, with a bustling marina, and streets full of cafés, restaurants, and character. Our beach house puts you within an easy stroll of the beach, the marina, and the heart of Lagos. It's an exceptionally easy destination to reach, and a lovely place to spend time before, during, and after your retreat.
- A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE SPACE FOR DEEP EXPLORATION: If you've ever felt drawn to a plant medicine experience but wanted the reassurance of a genuinely caring, intimate, and supportive environment, this retreat may be just what you've been looking for. We bring together the intentional use of psilocybin and Becca's Emotional Liberation® techniques to support emotional exploration, self-discovery, and personal healing.
- SMALL GROUPS, PERSONAL ATTENTION. We welcome just 4–8 participants, supported by 2–3 staff members. This allows us to create an intimate environment where people are seen, supported, and given the individual attention they need.
- THOUGHTFUL, INDIVIDUALIZED EXPERIENCES: You'll be welcomed and supported wherever you are in your relationship with plant medicine, whether this is your first experience or you've explored before. Every gathering is shaped around the people attending, recognizing that no two individuals, or their reasons for coming, are exactly alike.
- WHEN YOU FEEL THE CALL: Sometimes there's a quiet, intuitive sense that it's time to explore something more deeply. A meaningful relationship with plant medicine begins with intention, not impulse. This isn't about escaping discomfort or chasing a quick fix. It's about approaching the experience with curiosity, respect, preparation, and a willingness to meet yourself more fully.
- A BALANCE OF DEPTH AND LIGHTNESS: Our retreats make room for the full spectrum of being human. There are opportunities for meaningful inner exploration, shared experiences, laughter, connection, and simply enjoying one another's company. Healing doesn't have to mean being serious every minute of the day!
- Join us for these potent three days. It's time to LET YOUR SOUL ROAR!

ABOUT BECCA
Hello, I'm Becca Williams. My life's work is supporting people in releasing emotional overwhelm and self-defeating patterns that interfere with their happiness, relationships, and ability to connect meaningfully with themselves and others.
As an emotions therapist, trained clinical nutritionist, and sacred medicine facilitator, I integrate psilocybin experiences with my work in emotional exploration, nervous system awareness, and psycho-spiritual inquiry. My approach recognizes the important role emotions play in our well-being, our relationships, and how we experience life.
I believe emotions aren't something to fix or push away, but experiences to be understood. Learning to meet them differently can open the door to a new relationship with ourselves, with others, and with life.
I offer both intimate group retreats and private, day-long psilocybin experiences for individuals or two people together. Whether working in a small group or one-to-one, my intention is to provide a safe, supportive environment for meaningful inner exploration, with thoughtful preparation and personal integration support to help bring your discoveries into everyday life.
This is my first entry on RetreatGuru so I have no reviews on this site. But I will add a few below.

Details of this retreat
DETAILS OF THIS RETREAT
A Retreat in Lagos, One of Portugal's Most Beloved Coastal Destinations
Set along Portugal's spectacular southern coast, Lagos combines the beauty of the Atlantic with the relaxed pleasures of Portuguese coastal life. Think golden beaches, a beautiful marina, and a captivating historic old town filled with cobblestone streets, cafés, restaurants, and lively little squares. It's one of the Algarve's most popular destinations, and for good reason.
Our retreat beach house puts you within an easy stroll of the beach, the marina, and the heart of Lagos's renowned old town. It's an easy destination to reach and a wonderful place to spend time, whether you're looking for beach days, seaside restaurants, coastal adventures, or simply the pleasure of wandering through a beautiful Portuguese town.
If you're a perceptive, soulful person who feels ready to explore the emotional patterns and beliefs that may be getting in the way of living more freely, I'd love to welcome you for an intimate retreat of inner exploration, connection, and discovery.
WHY THREE DAYS? I know that many people visiting Portugal have just a week or ten days to explore, and I want to make this experience possible without asking you to devote your entire holiday to it. Whether you join us at the beginning or end of your travels, or make the retreat your destination in itself, three days gives you the opportunity to step into a deeply immersive, potentially life-changing experience while leaving plenty of opportunity to enjoy the rest of your Portuguese holiday. And if you live in Portugal or elsewhere in Europe, consider this an invitation to take a few days for yourself and embark on a deeply enriching experience.
Over three days and two nights, you'll enjoy nourishing vegan meals, comfortable accommodations, sacred plant medicine experiences, and thoughtfully curated activities designed to open up meaningful exploration while leaving plenty of room for laughter, relaxation, and connection.
I keep my retreats intentionally small, typically welcoming 4–8 participants, so everyone receives the personal attention and support they deserve. Whether we're four people or eight, creating genuine connections and a sense of belonging is at the heart of the experience.
SACRED PLANT MEDICINE, HELD WITH CARE
My process brings together the intentional use of psilocybin and my Emotional Liberation® techniques to support emotional exploration, self-discovery, and deeper introspection.
You'll be welcomed and supported wherever you are in your relationship with plant medicine, whether this is your first experience or you've explored it before.
Your retreat experience includes preparation, guided Emotional Liberation® practices, and a full psychedelic journey with psilocybin, held in a carefully prepared ceremonial setting. I'll also work with you individually before and after the retreat, helping you prepare for the experience and integrate what you've discovered into everyday life.
NOURISHMENT, INSIDE AND OUT
Good food is part of feeling good. Throughout our stay together, you'll enjoy freshly prepared, nourishing vegan meals, made in-house by our private chef.
Meals are thoughtfully planned to complement the retreat activities, with particular attention to the needs of the ceremony day. We'll provide advance guidance about food and preparation so you can arrive feeling comfortable and well prepared.
And of course, there's more to nourishment than food. There's the pleasure of enjoying the garden, taking a dip in the heated pool, wandering down to the beach, exploring Lagos, or simply doing nothing at all.
AN EXPERIENCE THAT CONTINUES BEYOND THE RETREAT
Three days can open a door. What you discover, feel, and begin to understand can continue unfolding long after you return home.
Through Emotional Liberation® practices, thoughtful teaching, personal exploration, and shared conversations, you'll have an opportunity to better understand your emotional landscape, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and explore new possibilities for greater emotional freedom and resilience.
The real gift of this experience is what you carry home: a deeper connection to yourself, fresh insights into your emotional world, and practices you can continue to draw on in everyday life.

Lagos, in southern Portugal, is easily accessible from either Faro or Lisbon. The region's main international airport is Faro (FAO), approximately 50 minutes from Lagos by car. You can fly directly into Faro and continue to Lagos by train or bus.
Alternatively, fly into Lisbon and connect to Faro with a short domestic flight, followed by an approximately one-hour train ride to Lagos. Or, my personal favorite, take the scenic 3–4-hour train or bus journey directly from Lisbon to Lagos. It's a lovely way to begin your Portuguese adventure.
