Deeper Still Healing
Sacred Dream Alchemy
A 10-day, 10-night all-inclusive ceremonial retreat held in the heart of nature
Where sacred medicine meets grounded integration.
A Retreat for Deep Remembering

When what’s needed isn’t more doing… but a deeper surrender.
Roots to the Soul is an intimate, fully supported plant medicine retreat in the lush valleys of central Portugal. Guided by Andean masters and mental health professionals, this 5.5-day ceremonial journey invites you to return to your essence — through nature, ritual, and the profound intelligence of Ayahuasca.
You don’t have to figure it all out.
You just have to say yes.
