7 day deep connection retreat in Portugal with Ayahuasca, Huachuma and 5-MeO-DMT
With Sanne, ceremony lead, Bertrand and Sen
May 15 - 21, 2027
Imagine a few days where nothing is asked of you except to be present. Where you can meet the medicines with an open heart, walk barefoot on warm earth, and feel the silence of the Alentejo settle into your body. This retreat is an invitation to connect deeply: with the wisdom of the plant medicines, with nature, with each other, and above all with yourself.
You can journey with three different psychedelic medicines. Alongside the ceremonies, we offer breathwork, meditation and dance. Our chef nourishes you with delicious vegetarian meals. And there is plenty of time to rest and integrate, to share and to simply be.
Ayahuasca
Known as “La Madre”, Ayahuasca – a sacred Amazonian brew – is more than a medicine: she is a teacher, a spirit, and a guide. Her wisdom is vast, loving, and sometimes relentless, showing us the truth of who we are by bringing buried emotions, memories, and patterns to the surface to be seen, felt, and released. In ceremony, Ayahuasca can facilitate emotional and energetic cleansing, trauma release and heart-opening visions, spiritual awakening, and reconnection to Source.
Huachuma (San Pedro)
The “Grandfather” teaches with loving strength and opens the gates of perception, allowing us to see with clarity and compassion. Unlike Ayahuasca’s deep inward journey, Huachuma often brings a grounded and heart-centered experience. In nature-based ceremonies, it helps us connect deeply with the Earth, with others, and with the wisdom of our own hearts. It may guide you through emotional release and forgiveness, profound connection to nature and the divine, insight into relationships, purpose, and life direction, a deep sense of joy, presence, and unity.
5-MeO-DMT
5-MeO-DMT is one of the most potent doorways into consciousness known to us. Where classical psychedelics tend to unfold in colour and imagery, 5-MeO-DMT moves in a different way. It does not show you a world; it swiftly, and often overwhelmingly, dissolves the one who is looking.
Within moments, the familiar boundaries of the self are swept away. What remains is often described as a vast, luminous stillness: a merging with everything and nothing at once, a return to pure awareness itself. The journey is brief, usually ten to thirty minutes, yet many carry its echo with them for a long time after.
Breathwork
Through the powerful technique of connected (holotropic) breathing, energy that has stagnated in your system, often linked to unprocessed emotions, can begin to release. Each journey is unique: you might experience physical sensations, waves of emotion, or moments that feel deeply spiritual.
Many people describe coming away from connected breathwork as if they have come to know themselves more deeply, feeling stronger, more vital, and more connected to life itself.
We are experienced guides who ensure a safe space and loving support so that you can surrender to what appears in your journey. We facilitate magic, spiritual, consciousness expanding experiences grounded in reality. We advise and support, hold the space, provide the set and the setting. The journey inward you make yourself. We trust in the power of the psychedelic medicines and in everyone’s self-healing ability. Of course we are fully present during your journey.
In addition, we provide a thorough intake procedure inc intake video call and a followup call a week after the session.
