Double Ceremony, 6 day Retreat

Experience the calm and beauty of rural Portugal with our six-day psychedelic retreat, designed to connect with the Numinous – the mystery of existence. Guided by experienced facilitators and supported by a small community of like-minded people, the retreat offers a safe and nurturing environment for deep inner exploration and personal growth.

At the heart of the programme are two psilocybin ceremonies, complemented by a breathwork session midweek. These core experiences are carefully held and supervised, creating space for healing, insight, and expanded awareness. Around them, practices such as yoga, meditation, art, ecstatic dance, and creative expression help to ground and integrate the journey.

The retreat setting itself offers many ways to rest and connect: a swimming pool and mature garden with magnificent trees, a meditation deck with breath-taking views of the mountains, and a pond alive with koi and frogs. Traditional Portuguese architecture adds to the sense of stillness and beauty, while the ceremony room provides a sacred and welcoming space for the inner journeys.
