About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

You’ve been on a healing journey and you’re asking yourself:

How can I identify and break through what’s holding me back?
Is there happiness and peace beyond anxiety & depression?
What’s my purpose in life?
Can plant medicine help me access my healing on a deeper level?
Are you looking for a safe, small group setting (6-8 Max) to experience a healing retreat of personal growth with sacred medicines?

This special offering is a great way to bring in the new calendar year of 2025, in a mindful, healing atmosphere, in a small group of like-minded people.

Using sacred plant medicines (Psilocybin, Mapacho, Cacao, Sananga and Rapé), you'll experience a safe, legal (all medicines are decriminalized in Portugal- meaning legal for personal use), healing retreat guided by an experienced facilitator, former Paramedic and initiated Curandera (healer). We only use medicines that are grown/infused with intention for ceremony.

This offering includes a 1-hr pre-session video call in order to help you deepen into the work and better prepare for the transformational experience. Day 1, we'll begin the work, in the early afternoon, so that everyone has time to arrive and settle in. Opening circle will be at 15:30. The next days will be balanced between nourishing the Spirit, soul, and body. [It's not possible to arrive late nor leave early as it disrupts the group dynamic and flow of this work.] on Day 7, Jan 3rd, we will end at 13h; This allows you time to catch a late afternoon flight home from Faro, or extend your vacation a bit more and explore the area.

You'll connect with your Spirit through sacred ceremony, reflection time and integration; with your soul through workshops, relaxation time and integration; with your body through movement, plant based foods, and meditation, all while connecting with nature in this serene, luxurious retreat venue nestled just 20 minutes from Faro Airport. This 7-day retreat will have two Psilocybin ceremonies. When we finish the retreat the last afternoon at 13h, you'll have insights and tools to take with you to continue your healing journey. I also offer a 1:1 post-retreat integration session (included) so that you're able to touch base in the weeks to come. You are not alone in this journey & I'm honored to be a part of your transformation.

An experience
I couldn’t have picked a better retreat to attend. The country, venue, weather, food, format, facilitators and all the other attendees were amazing. It was very clear that Kasham, the lead facilitator, is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and she’s certainly intuitive being very aware of peoples states and needs throughout the process. This was also true of Hanna, the other facilitator, who was really caring and full of smiles. This was particularly apparent during ceremony where they were always by my side when in need. The duration of the retreat was perfect as 7 days allowed for it to be structured effectively with plenty of meaningful activities, integration and bonding with others. In addition, the small group size made it a much more personal experience. I definitely recommend this retreat for anyone who wishes to embark on such a transformational journey.

Insightful
Kasham is a beautiful soul. She has the capacity to hold space for anyone who has the inclination to lean inward. She will accompany you caringly through spirit and soul connecting with you thanks to her profound connection with plant medicines. Whatever you are seeking to clarify in your life Kasham and Hanna will help guide you to your heartfelt intentions. These are moment of enlightenment, presenting you with the gift of light over darkness, clarity over confusion, forginess over resentment. By surrendering you will journey energetically through channels of least resistance and flow into your spiritual radiant light. By trusting you will open up your heart to your core essence far away from mundane preoccupations. You will experience the dimension in which only love, peace and gratitude matter. The liberation that ensues is that sacred connection to the source, our Sacred Mother Earth, which holds space for all of us deep down. During my spiritual journey i was giving the guidance through the plant medicine to connect with benevolent spirits who helped remind me of my truths. Hanna will always be on hand thanks to her immense talent as musician and a songwriter to help you flow even further via the medium of shamanic chants. The journey captured all my senses allowing energy and light force to flow through my body and magic to happen in the mind. Journeying was in my experience very mystical and liberating. I would highly recommend you work with Kasham and Hanna, they are so connected to the plants and will offer you a well structured and tailored retreat.

Energy flow
Hanna is a very creative and artistic individual who has the ability to be free flowing. During my time at the 7 day transformational retreat in Thailand it was a pleasure to witness her sensitivity and wisdom. She is very spiritual and caring and acts as a wonderful creative journeying partner for Kasham. Her voice is breathtaking and the lyrics to her songs will help guide you to your heartfelt intentions.
