Who we do this for
For people who are ready now: not "someday."
For months or years you've been carrying the sense that it's time to look deeper. Maybe you've read up on it, researched it, talked to friends. Maybe you were at a fair and picked up our flyer, because something in you responded to it.
In October, there are two opportunities to give that impulse a space, in the stillness of the Portuguese mountains, in a small group of people daring to take a similar step to you.
"On the surface, a lot in my life was fine, but it no longer really felt like my life. I wanted to get out of my head and feel something again."
Lukas, 35
"I asked myself whether I was too old for an experience like this. For many years I was there for others, and at some point I no longer quite knew what I myself needed."
Sabine, 57
What the days look like
A rhythm that holds you.
Every day has its place in the process. We build up slowly, go into the depth together, and in the end carry what has shown itself back into life.
Day 1: Monday
Arriving
Arrival in the late afternoon. We pick you up at the Oleiros bus station. Your first encounter with the place, the group and us. A shared dinner, a quiet introduction, an early night. Today you don't have to perform anything, just arrive.
Day 2: Tuesday
First ceremony: breathwork
Morning: preparation through breathwork, movement in nature, clarifying your intention. Afternoon and evening: an intensive, guided breathwork session. Through conscious, connected breathing, you're gently brought toward an expanded state of consciousness, under your own power, controllable by you at any moment. What releases and shows itself here prepares the ground for everything that follows. We're present the entire time.
Day 3: Wednesday
Integration & stillness
A slow day. We process what was experienced in stillness, through creative expression and gentle group exchange. A hike in the afternoon. An introduction to lucid dreaming for the night ahead.
Day 4: Thursday
Second ceremony: the deeper journey
The central psychedelic ceremony. After Tuesday's breathwork experience, you go into it more informed, more prepared and better held. You already know what an expanded state feels like. Accompanied by music, breath and our continuous presence. The night spent in stillness.
Day 5: Friday
Processing & anchoring
Deep integration work in individual and group sessions. What did you see? What does it mean for your life? How do you carry it forward? We help you translate that into concrete steps.
Day 6: Saturday
Departure: lighter than when you arrived
Breakfast, closing circle, a gentle goodbye. Transfer to the bus in Oleiros. You leave with reflections, a practice and an integration appointment in your calendar. We'll see each other again four weeks later on a video call.

"I was afraid of losing control. I didn't know whether I could really open up in front of strangers. It helped me that I could say no or take a break at any time."
Anna, 42
What these days hold
At first glance, a number. At second glance, much more.
Five days in which several things come together that are rarely found in one place otherwise: continuous, experienced guidance, two carefully held ceremonies, daily offerings such as breathwork, music therapy, integration work and, optionally, creative work with clay, plus full board, accommodation in nature, and pre- and post-retreat conversations that carry you beyond the retreat itself.
Many of our guests spent months searching beforehand: in talk therapy, self-help books, weekend workshops. What becomes possible here often has a different depth, because time, place, guidance and method interlock.
We're not saying €2,100 is a small amount of money. We're saying: it's a conscious investment in yourself, and in a small group of six to eight people, that gives you the kind of attention that makes truly individual guidance possible in the first place.
Dates
Two retreats in October 2026.
Both retreats follow the same rhythm: a five-day program, departure on the sixth day. We recommend booking at least eight weeks in advance, so we can plan the preparation and your journey with enough time.
Arrival Monday by 18:00 · Departure Saturday from 11:00 · Transfer from Oleiros included.
How booking works
Three steps: no pressure, no risk.
01
Initial consultation
You write to us. We arrange a 30-minute video or phone call. You tell us where you're at. We listen. Free, no obligation.
02
Suitability assessment
Together, we check whether this work is right for you, health-wise, mentally, and in terms of where you are in life. If it is: booking confirmation. If not: an honest recommendation for what else might help.
03
Preparation
Four weeks before the retreat, you receive a detailed preparation booklet. A second pre-consultation clears up any remaining questions. You arrive well prepared.
Context
What the research says, and what we don't infer from it.
If you're someone who wants to understand the context before committing: this section is for you.
A young but serious field of research
Universities such as Imperial College London and Johns Hopkins University have been systematically researching psychedelic experience for years. What was long dismissed is today the subject of large, controlled studies.
In Germany too
Since 2025, a small number of German clinics (in Mannheim and Berlin, for instance) have been permitted to treat severely ill patients under tightly controlled exceptional procedures. The field is moving, in German-speaking countries too.
The setting is not incidental
One finding runs through the entire body of research: preparation, environment, guidance and follow-up are not incidental. They shape the experience itself. That's exactly why we build our retreat the way we do.
And now for the honest part.
We could present figures and study results here. We deliberately choose not to, because those studies examine something different from what we offer.
These studies take place in clinical settings, with standardized preparations, medical supervision, and people who have a specific diagnosis. We are not a clinic. We do not treat. And we do not promise healing. Anyone who infers what a retreat can achieve from a study on patients is making a reasoning error, and we don't want you to make it.
What the research gives us is something different, and for us more valuable: a growing understanding of what actually matters. A careful pre-consultation. Clear exclusion criteria. A safe space. Experienced guidance. Time for integration. These aren't ingredients we invented. They're what has proven to hold weight.
If you're looking for treatment, we're not the right place for you. Your path belongs in medical or therapeutic hands, and we'll tell you so plainly in the initial consultation. If you're looking for a space for an experience, guided, prepared and not alone, then talk to us.
"I was skeptical of anything that sounds too spiritual. I didn't want to be pushed into something that didn't feel right for me. Questions were taken seriously, including critical ones. No one tried to explain my experience to me."
Lukas, 35
This section serves as a general overview of a field of research and is neither a claim about the effect of our offering nor a medical recommendation. Our retreat is not a course of treatment and does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic care.
What you might be thinking
Honest answers to your inner objections.
"Is all of this credible enough?"+
A fair question. We work transparently: experienced guidance, a clear structure, a small group, a thorough pre-consultation, no glossy promises. If something isn't right, we'll tell you so in the initial consultation, even if that means you don't come to us.
"What if I get scared in the middle of the experience?"+
Difficult phases are part of this work. We're present the entire time and know the techniques to guide you through, through breath, words, silence, touch if welcome. You're never alone.
"Am I even suitable, health-wise?"+
There are clear requirements. We check this together in the pre-consultation, honestly and without pressure. Certain medications or pre-existing conditions rule out participation. We'll tell you that openly.
"Can I afford this?"+
€2,100 is a conscious decision. If the amount is tight but the impulse is real: talk to us about installments. We often find a solution. What we don't do: apply pressure or talk you into spending money you don't have.
"What if I get sick and can't come?"+
We strongly recommend taking out travel cancellation insurance with illness cover. That's the most reliable solution for anything nobody sees coming. We'll go through the details of our terms and conditions transparently in the initial consultation.
Ready for the initial consultation?
30 minutes by phone or video. Free, no obligation. You tell us where you're at. We listen and tell you honestly whether this work is right for you, or not.
