/ inner wisdom retreat
June 13-17, 2025
Location: 1h 50min away from Lisbon/Faro airports
a journey to self-discovery with sacred plant medicine
Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?
We all possess an inner wisdom, a profound truth, but it often lies buried beneath the weight of childhood conditioning, societal norms, and rigid concepts of right and wrong. In a world full of noise, our true selves can become hidden.
The Inner Wisdom Retreat is an intimate sanctuary, welcoming a small group of no more than 8 participants. This setting allows for personalised attention and a deep sense of community. Here, you’ll have the space, tools, and sacred medicine needed to peel away the layers of limiting beliefs. Together, we will free ourselves from guilt, pain, and sadness, opening up to more love and acceptance. In this nurturing environment, you’ll rediscover the essence of who you truly are, unburdened by external pressures, and embrace the authentic truth that has always been within you.

/ plant medicine ceremony
Our plant medicine ceremony is a meticulously curated experience designed to help participants connect deeply with their inner world. This ceremony is personalised to meet individual needs, with carefully adjusted doses to align with your intentions. The experience is further enhanced by a specially designed soundscape that facilitates deeper states of consciousness, allowing for the exploration of infinite possibilities and the gaining of profound insights toward healing.
The ceremony is complemented by meditative and breath-work practices before and after to provide a solid ground for your process to unfold. You’ll be immersed in a wonderful music journey, enhancing the overall experience.

“Where to begin? I believe the universe gives us what we need, exactly when we need it and I truly believe the universe led me to this retreat and to you both. Thank you for welcoming me to your home, for holding space for us all and for guiding us through this journey of healing. I have no doubt that the answers were always within me but you have opened the space and allowed me to find those answers. Life feels clearer and simpler and I leave this weekend feeling calm, content, a sense of ease and most importantly reconnected to myself. For that, I will always be grateful. Until next time!”
/ breath-work ceremony
You’ll be guided through a powerful breath-work journey, experiencing deeper states of meditation through shifts in brainwave activity.
Intense breath-work transitions your brain from the everyday beta waves to slower alpha, theta, and sometimes gamma waves. We refer to this sometimes as “silencing the inner critic” that allows us to connect further with our intuition, access memories and experience deep release.
During a session, you’ll engage in intense and rapid breathing patterns accompanied by a carefully curated soundtrack. This practice can lead to altered states of consciousness, characterised by expanded awareness and heightened sensations.

All the water used on the land, toilet and showers included, are filtered and recycled back to irrigate the plants.
We provide organic soaps and shampoos.
“From our first intake call I knew that I can trust you both and that it will be once more a lovely and transformative experience. And well… it has been! Thank you so much for creating such an atmosphere, for inviting me into your home, for giving me the opportunity and the space to heal, to discover my true self, to be curious and open hearted again! I am leaving with so much positive energy, trust in myself and cultivated self-love. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and collected so many memories that will stay in my heart,
thank you both so much!”
