Psychedelics and Nature. Double Ceremony, 6 day Retreat in Portugal

This psychedelic retreat combines nature-based, soul-centric initiation with the transformative potential of psychedelics, supported by time spent in nature. Ecopsychotherapy will be integrated into the experience, helping participants navigate the psychedelic journey and aiding in the process of integration. By blending Ecopsychotherapy with psychedelics, this retreat offers a unique way to reconnect with the ancient journey of the human soul.

Held near the beautiful city of Faro, Portugal, this six-day retreat includes two carefully guided psychedelic ceremonies, offering you the opportunity for deep introspection and transformation. Guided by experienced facilitators and surrounded by like-minded individuals, the retreat is designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for your inner exploration and growth.

Meet Your Retreat Leader: Roger Duncan

His book ‘Nature in Mind, systemic thinking and imagination in ecopsychology and mental health’ was published by Routledge in 2018 and he writes and lectures internationally.

Roger’s first experienced psychedelics in 1979 which initiated 40-years of deep exploration into the healing power of nature connection at the root of ecopsychotherapy. He revisited work with Psychedelics in ceremony, in 2019 which led into a deeper systems approach to healing where the experience can offer a rite of passage into encounters with the spiritual in both Nature and the human Soul. Roger has completed a Professional Certificate in Psychedelic Practice, a comprehensive  theoretical and practical program focused on psychedelic work.

Roger’s first book, Nature in Mind: Systemic Thinking and Imagination in Ecopsychology and Mental Health, was published by Routledge in 2018.
