Will return next year
Very warm, friendly and professional people, as well as my fellow guests at the event. As a newcomer to the psychedelic ceremonies, I don't think I could've found a better group for my first experience, especially for the price

An amazing and transformative experience.
A huge thank you to the whole team for making this retreat a wonderful experience. The guidance and support I received before, throughout and after the retreat, as well as during the ceremonies themselves, has really helped me to integrate the experience and is already creating a positive shift in my life. Not to mention, the food was delicious and the venue was beautiful!! I would highly recommend Devi Chandra Ma and her team to anyone drawn to the plant medicine path.

Amazing family and healing
It was my first healing retreat and I could have not chosen a better group of caring and expert individuals.
During the entire experience I have felt well-informed and taken care of, from testing the ground by asking all sorts of questions and booking the retreat with Alise, to join Chandra, Sonia and all the other facilitators in a wonderful location in Portugal where they made sure I had everything I needed.
Although I cannot put in words how awakening and impactful on my life this experience has been, I can only stress out how I completely trusted Chandra and Sonia from the very beginning, their aura exudes kindness and compassion.
I would choose nobody else than them to embark in such a transformative journey.
I am beyond grateful they have entered my life.
Can't wait to meet them all again very soon!

Magical outstanding healer and guiding light
I had the great opportunity to join a Devi Chandra Ma's retreat, and I could not ask for a better guiding light.
Since the first moment we met, Chandra has taken great care of the group and each single participant, being always present, kind and compassionate in helping walking the path of much longed-for healing. You could feel from the first meeting with her how passionate and devoted she is to her sacred calling of making the world a better place one healed soul at a time.
Chandra's therapies and healing modalities were well-organized and performed with great expertise and love, they have been a soothing balm for the soul.
I always felt in safe hands and eager to embark in the healing process with her every day.
Knowing that I am part of Chandra's big family is giving me great support and hope for the future.
Muchas gracias por todo Chandra, nos vemos muy pronto!
