"This was a very special experience. Kasham and Douglas were a wonderful team, everything about the setting from the location, workshops, food and journeys were beyond what I had imagined. If you're considering attending this type of retreat then don't hesitate to book."

"Kasham and Douglas made us feel safe and secure. We attended an 'individual' ceremony and we were well cared for and looked after throughout. I would definitely recommend scheduling a session with Kasham if you are interested in embarking on your own personal journey."

"I was welcomed by a hug, something that has never happened to me. Rosa and Bianca, now my sister/mother/family, after just a few days, have touched my soul. The experience, I do not feel, would have been as magical without their help. I was taken care of, experienced the ultimate gift of life, in a safe and comfortable setting. The people there were also brilliant but what truly makes this a warm, loving place are the care and attention given to you to make this as safe as possible. They went through thorough testing to ensure suitability and despite my various flaws, ensured I could optimise the days I was there. I recently had the best day of my life and I can only thank them, and the Mother, for opening my eyes to see whats real. What is beautiful. I’ve seen green and red whisps of strand across the air, light inside the soul, beating and providing bliss, peace and love. I’ve seen the ground move like snakes and the ceiling flow like water. At the same time coming to a realisation, listening to the women singing and beating drums, that the world is magic. They helped me understand what I needed to, I have come home a reformed person. I truly see what is infront of me and it wasn't just the vine of the soul that did this, it was the combination which ultimately lead to a lifechanging experience. I am currently looking for the next dates I can return. 2-3 days was perfect. Hot showers, comfortable beds, and beautiful background and animals really enhightened the experience. Ladies, if you are reading this, than you for such an enriching and soul ignighting time. Words cannot express the gratitute, and love I have for you. The last night was the best night I have ever expereinced in my life. I finally saw, I finally understood, things I could never grasp my head around or feel in a decade. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. x"

"My husband and I did a private session together. We both had an incredible experience thanks to Kasham and Douglas. They made us feel very welcome and introduced us to this new experience with open arms, made us feel safe and ready for the journey. The house and the surroundings were amazing. I can highly recommend this to everyone. We left the house with hearts full and much love and deep insights. 🙏❤️"

"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."

Richard September, 2024

"How to put this into words…from the moment I arrived, I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and caring environment. (Alphabetically!) Axis, Bianca, Chiara, Kristina and Riccardo are some of the most genuinely amazing people you will ever meet, and also extremely knowledgeable about plant medicine. The setting is beautiful as well. You are truly in good hands and the initial integration call, 121 meeting prior to the first ceremony and “sharing circle” the day after are brilliant to put you at ease. Met some amazing people on similar journeys and feel extremely grateful for the experience. Not sure if the retreat has or will change me going forward, but I am already noticing a few changes in perception. A connection to my personal path was a big motivation for me coming in, and I think the amazing space holders and medicine have given me a platform. If you are in any doubts, I would take a leap…you won’t regret it. 100/10, would recommend :) R"

"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."

"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."

"What an amazing week! I had such a beautiful week with Kasham & Hanna. Two lovely amazing humans. I really felt secure with them! Thank you so much for everything !!"

"I had a beautifully transcendental experience on Kasham's retreat in Thailand (two experiences actually, from the two ceremonies), and I honestly believe the experience would not have been the same if it wasn't for her deep connection and attunement to the spirits and guides. Kasham facilitated and guided a safe and sacred space for us to journey and travel - both near and afar. She connects far beyond, yet is still grounded in everyday life. The activities during the retreat also helped us to deepen our insights and learnings, as well as integrate this back into our everyday lives by connecting with our physical bodies - making the most of this human experience :) Thank you Kasham and Hannah for looking after my body and soul in Chiang Mai xx :) Hope to see you again one day in Portugal!"

"Kasham is truly an amazing guide. She was exceptionally helpful, kind, clear and knowledgeable about guiding a medicine journey. It was the first time I felt truly safe on my journey which allowed me to go deep and really examine the things that needed examining. Thank you Kasham. It was an excellent experience - one that has made a difference in my life."

"I recently had the most incredible experience at Kasham's Shamanic Retreat, and words cannot express the depth of gratitude I feel towards her and Hana. From the moment I stepped onto the sacred grounds, I knew I was in for something truly extraordinary. The retreat offered a perfect blend of traditional shamanic practices and modern holistic approaches. The facilitators were not only knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate, creating a safe and nurturing environment for personal growth and exploration. The ceremonial rituals were nothing but magical. Not to forget rhythmic drumming, and the wisdom shared by the shamanic practitioners made a huge impact on my sense of self-discovery and healing. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the vegan meals prepared by Paula were almost as good as from the Michelin star restaurant. I highly recommend Kasham's retreat to anyone seeking a life-changing experience. Thank you to the entire team for creating such an unforgettable experience!"

"Kasham is an incredibly intuitive healer. I still haven’t landed yet after my retreat, but have seen so many positive changes so far. As someone with social anxiety I was hesitant to do a group retreat, but boy am I glad I did. Think I was rid of my social anxiety on the second day and it still hasn’t returned almost a month later. The attention to detail and execution of all activities shows the amount of preparation that goes into facilitating such a retreat. I felt taken care of throughout the week. The ceremonies are out of this world (literally) and experiences I will carry with me throughout my life I hope. Thank you for helping me along my healing journey "

"You will meet amazing people whom you can fully trust. They will support you through your journey, be it ecstatic or tough. They all had their unique life trajectories, with ups and downs, hard times, vulnerabilities and traumas. They came out of it with extended empathy skills, and responsive attunement to other human beings. You will feel in a spiritual family with them. Eve, Laurie, Riccardo, Christina, I enjoyed my time with you! "

"From the moment I stepped onto the retreat's sacred grounds, a wave of amazing energy washed over me. This land is a living tapestry of diverse flora and fauna, punctuated by the refreshing ambiance of a tranquil lake and invigorated by the purest air. Each day, we were treated to meals crafted with love, nourishing both the body and soul. The ceremonies were nothing short of transformative, facilitated by experts who deftly merged indigenous traditions with a contemporary Western approach. There was an evident emphasis on personal attention, ensuring that each of us felt valued and understood. The high-frequency medicine we imbibed resonated deeply, complemented by the safe, nurturing environment, filled with warmth and genuine care. The retreat's thoughtful structure allowed ample preparation and post-ceremony integration, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of each experience. Sonically, our journeys were elevated by a harmonious blend of live icaros, instrumental undertones, and curated recorded music. Daily breathing exercises kept us anchored, and amidst the profound introspection, there was always space for rest and personal time. Truly, an unparalleled spiritual odyssey. Love & Gratitude ✨💛✨"

"It wasn´t my first Ayahuasca experience, but definitely my deepest and most beautiful one. Mother Ayahuasca is really honored by the facilitators Rindos Aguas, Terra Mai, Rana Sagrada and Josué in wonderful ceremonies and the participants can feel safe in every situation. Accomodation and food are great, as is the price. "

"Kasham and her collaborators love and dedication to offering a unique retreat experience for every individual is inspiring. Intuitive attention to detail for everyone sets the stage for tremendous personal realisations and growth. Through solitary reflection and active interactions and participation in sacred ceremonies, group activities and workshops, powerful connections are formed. Seeing myself through interactions with others on many levels is truly awakening and freeing. I felt a part of a sacred tribe by the closing ceremony and the ripple effect of those powerful, energising, enlightening, transformational connections radiate still as I land on this beautiful landscape my life has become. My love, gratitude and appreciation for the honourable gifts Kasham and our tribe awakened in me cannot be expressed in words. Radiance will have to do."

"When I arrived at Faro airport, I honestly did not know what to expect. Feelings of apprehension were strong, but as soon as I found João waiting for me in arrivals they dissipated. The drive from the airport took roughly 40 minutes, and upon arrival at the house, Fatima warmly greeted me like an old friend. I felt incredibly welcomed and safe, and after some time had passed and the ongoing ceremony had finished I had my one on one with Fatima and set my intention for the first ceremony and went to bed feeling reassured that I was where I needed to be. The ceremony room was incredibly well curated and felt like exactly the right place to be doing the work I needed. The ceremonies themselves were both the hardest and most profound experience of my life, yet despite the challenges, Fatima, Bianca, João, and Alex were all there on hand to help me when I needed it. While I struggled with the experiences on different days in different ways, I never felt unsafe. After the ceremony there was always plenty of amazing food available, and a safe space to process and recount my experience with the other participants before heading to bed. Overall I cannot rate this experience high enough. The entire team of facilitators was just amazing, as were the rest of the group. Though we all had our own demons to battle, we all shared in this beautiful, transformative experience, and I wouldn't change any aspect of it for anything in the world. If you are looking for THE place in Europe to do the work, this is it. I will be back in the future, of that I am sure. 100 stars out of 5."

Paul August, 2023

"I have just done my first Ayahuasca retreat with Vine of the Soul. The experience was truly life-changing and I saw an abundance of healing in myself and others. Fatima and Bianca really know what they are doing, so I felt in very safe hands. Proper integration and preparation Is obviously obviously key, and they are both really good at helping you through both phases. Ceremony music is crucial too, as it guides you through the experience emotionally, and the music was absolutely phenomenal. I have a big playlist to take home! Doing Aya for the first time can be a daunting experience, but if you feel called to do it, you will be in excellent and loving hands if you chose this retreat."

"A life-changing experience that I highly recommend! From the moment I first spoke to Kasham to enquire about the retreat, I felt immediately cared for and at ease. She truly puts so much time and love into each and every person — before, during, and after the retreat. I really felt like I was in excellent hands, and thus could surrender entirely to the different healing work we did together. I feel like I received many years’ worth of insights in one weekend! I am not the same person I was before this journey. And the intimate group setting has given me friendships for life."

"I had a magical time on this retreat with Kasham, although the magic began before we even arrived. Kasham is a wonderful, intuitive and authentic healer. From our initial consultation to the thought and care throughout the retreat, I can't say enough. It was a brilliant space in which we could be vulnerable, connect and have fun too! The location was wonderful, being in nature only adds to the experience. If you're thinking about booking this, I would say DO IT! I can be skeptical, but he power of healing and transformation that I achieved from this retreat was very special. Thank you Kasham and Douglas! "
