About this Retreat
In the peaceful coastal paradise of the Algarve, Sara Ahmadi, a Master of Science in Pharmacy (MSc.), with over 10 years of pharmaceutical experience as a pharmacist and a certified psychedelic coach, is revolutionizing the landscape of mental health care. After relocating to the Algarve two and a half years ago from the Netherlands, Sara’s personal journey through a psilocybin ceremony sparked her passion for transformative, evidence-based healing. Since 2023, she has been the founder of Conscious Pharmacist, where she brings a scientifically grounded, compassionate approach to psychedelic therapy, offering customized retreats and coaching programs tailored to those seeking profound mental health healing and improving their overall health.
Sara’s unique blend of pharmaceutical knowledge and cutting-edge psychedelic scientific research is addressing pressing health challenges such as depression, perimenopause, chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, fibromyalgia, burnout, ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and substance use disorders (addictions). Her mission is clear: to create a safe, evidence-based, and controlled space where individuals can embark on life-changing journeys toward healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.
Details of this retreat
Break Free from Depression & Anxiety: A Psilocybin Retreat for Deep Healing & Transformation
Imagine stepping into the serene landscapes of the Algarve, surrounded by sunshine, fresh air, and a sense of tranquility. From the moment you arrive at our retreat, every detail is designed to help you feel safe, supported, and ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
This retreat is not just an escape—it is a structured, science-backed path to overcoming depression and anxiety. If you’ve struggled with mental exhaustion, racing thoughts, emotional numbness, or a sense of being stuck, this experience is for you.
A Safe & Transformative Healing Space
Your retreat begins with a warm welcome and a grounding session to help you settle into your private, luxurious accommodations. As the sun sets, you’ll join fellow participants for a nourishing dinner and an opening circle to set intentions for the days ahead. A calming sauna or emotional release session allows you to fully unwind and prepare for the transformative experiences to come.
Each morning starts with yoga, breathwork, or meditation, grounding you in the present moment and creating a sense of inner stability. After a nourishing breakfast, you’ll have time to connect with nature, allowing the peaceful surroundings to ease your mind and body.
Guided Psilocybin Therapy for Deep Healing
At the heart of the retreat are the guided psilocybin ceremonies, carefully designed to help you release fear, process trauma, and rewire negative thought patterns. Led by medical professionals and certified psychedelic therapists, these sessions take place in a safe and optimized environment, where you receive the highest level of support and care.
Following each ceremony, we guide you through deep integration workshops, emotional release techniques, and therapeutic practices to ensure that your breakthroughs are lasting.
Microdosing as Part of Long-Term Integration
Healing doesn’t stop when the retreat ends. Microdosing therapy is offered as an optional post-retreat integration tool, helping you sustain mental clarity, emotional balance, and personal growth long after your journey with us. By supporting neuroplasticity, microdosing assists in keeping you out of depressive cycles and helps prevent relapse into old patterns of anxiety and overthinking.
A Personalized Approach to Mental Well-Being
This retreat is carefully designed to meet you where you are and help you create meaningful, lasting transformation. Beyond the psilocybin ceremonies, we offer:
One-on-One Coaching & Emotional Release Sessions – Personalized guidance to help you navigate challenges and integrate your experience.
A Nurturing Healing Environment – Private accommodations, organic farm-to-table meals, and access to a sauna, hot tub, and meditation gardens to promote relaxation and deep healing.
High-Level Mentorship for Personal & Professional Growth – This retreat goes beyond healing—it is an opportunity to rediscover your purpose, regain confidence, and create a future that excites you.
Ongoing Integration Support – Through structured follow-up coaching and optional microdosing, we ensure that the breakthroughs you experience translate into real, lasting change.
Your Journey Toward Freedom Starts Here!
Your final day is a celebration of the clarity and emotional freedom you’ve gained. A bodywork session helps you reconnect with your body, followed by a closing circle and mandala creation, symbolizing renewal and transformation. As you depart, you’ll feel renewed, empowered, and ready to embrace life with a new sense of balance and purpose.
This retreat is more than a getaway—it is a life-changing opportunity to overcome depression and anxiety in a safe, expertly guided environment.
If you are ready to break free from the weight of anxiety and depression and step into a life of clarity, resilience, and emotional freedom, this retreat is your next step.
