About this Retreat
From age 4, I felt a deep calling to help others. As an intuitive since childhood, I’ve always been drawn to healing, beginning my formal training journey in 1995, with therapeutic massage. Over the years, my path has expanded to include a diverse range of healing modalities, each allowing me to support others in their transformation.
My work has never been bound by geographical limits. I’ve lived and shared my gifts in the US, Haiti, South Korea, and now Portugal, connecting with people from all walks of life. These experiences have shaped my approach to healing, allowing me to meet each person where they are and guide them through their journey.
Before focusing on healing retreats, I spent several years in counseling and administrative roles within non-profits and treatment centers, working closely with traumatized youth. I helped guide them through emotional and behavioral healing while supporting their parents in creating healthier home environments. My experience also includes working in Corrections for several years, where I focused on training and developing best practices for both individuals and institutions to create healthier, transformative environments. This work led to positive outcomes, including reducing recidivism, and further deepened my understanding of trauma-informed care and its transformative potential.
In 2013, I expanded my practice by completing the Advanced Angel Tarot Card Reader course from HayHouse, adding Intuitive Card Reading to my toolbox. A few years later, I integrated life coaching and mentorship, allowing me to use my strong intuition to create safe, transformative spaces for others.
In December 2020, a Mayan Elder in Mexico performed a recognition ceremony, honoring me as a Healer and Reader. I later traveled to Peru, where I was initiated as a Curandera (Healer) and granted permission to serve sacred medicine. In 2022, I completed internationally accredited Shamanic Practitioner Training, further deepening my knowledge and practice.
In 2023, I pursued specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, completing a 4-week course in the Fundamentals of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and an 8-month Harm Reduction course (ICEERS Ayahuasca Safety Course). I am honored to be one of only two sites in Europe selected
to supervise graduates’ practicum requirement for the SYNTHESIS INSTITUTE's Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training. Although there are many practicum sites worldwide, only two are approved in Europe, and I’m proud to hold that responsibility.
As of June 2024, I have facilitated over 170 sacred medicine ceremonies, offering a safe and nurturing space for individuals to heal, overcome their blocks, and step into their full potential. It is an honor to hold space for your healing journey, guiding you through transformation and helping you live your most authentic life.
Details of this retreat
Awaken Your Spirit: A Transformational Journey with Sacred Plant Medicine
Do you want to address specific issues in a comfortable, 1:1 (or with a loved one/close friend) setting, avoiding a group setting? Are you ready to step into a journey of deep healing, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening? Do you feel the call to release what no longer serves you and reconnect with your true, authentic self?
Join us for a 2-day retreat nestled in the serene landscapes of southern Portugal, just 20 minutes from Faro Airport. This intimate, sacred space is designed for you and those you register with together, ensuring you receive the personal attention and guidance you deserve. Through shamanic practices and sacred plant medicine, you’ll experience a profound transformation that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.
***Please contact Kasham for available dates before registering. We offer this retreat on a limited basis. ***
Santa Maria is one of the most misused and misunderstood entheogens. It is a Master Plant and has many healing properties.
It is absolutely possible to have a psychedelic experience with this medicine, one that helps you do innerwork of reflecting, gain insights and perspective.
If you find yourself having negative bias or even misuse (recreational use) of this Master Plant, I invite you to ceremony to repair this mindset; to meet the true essence and spirit of Santa Maria.
The vast majority of participants’ feedback after ceremony is that they had no idea they could experience this plant in this healing, ceremonial way. Their once abusive relationship with Marijuana transforms into one of respect, honor and right relationship.
What You'll Experience:
Sacred Journey: Guided ceremonies designed to facilitate deep introspection, healing, and spiritual connection. With Santa Maria as a tool, these journeys invite you to unlock new layers of awareness and understanding within yourself.
Sacred Plant Medicines: Alongside Santa Maria, we’ll work with Mapacho, for opening and closing the crown, to enhance grounding, clarity, and spiritual awakening. These sacred medicines are used with honor and intention to support your journey.
Healing Practices: Techniques and rituals to help you release emotional blockages, move beyond anxiety, and embrace a sense of inner peace and wholeness.
Guided Support: Led by an experienced Curandera (healer) and former paramedic, you’ll be held in a compassionate, safe space with guidance from someone deeply rooted in healing traditions, coaching and ceremonial practices.
Holistic Nourishment: Healthy snacks that nourish you from the inside out.
Nature Immersion: Luxurious accommodations surrounded by the tranquil beauty of nature, offering a peaceful sanctuary to reconnect and reflect.
Included in Your Experience:
A 1-hour pre-retreat video call to prepare you for the journey and deepen your connection to the work.
One sacred Santa Maria ceremony to support your healing, growth and spiritual awakening.
Reflective integration practices to help you process your experiences and incorporate new insights into your daily life.
A 1:1 post-retreat integration session to provide ongoing support and help you navigate the steps after the retreat.

Location: Nestled in the heart of nature, just 20 minutes from Faro Airport in southern Portugal, offering a serene and peaceful setting for reflection and transformation.
Plant Medicine: All plant medicines are prepared with care and intention for ceremony, and are decriminalized in Portugal, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for your journey.
