Trauma-informed Ayahuasca Retreats in Europe.

A Complete Pathway for Lasting Change

Vine of the Soul Retreats offers small-group ayahuasca retreats in Europe designed for high-functioning professionals who want real change — not a spiritual holiday and not a “quick fix.” Our programs combine trauma-informed facilitation, careful screening, and a structured container that supports both deep inner work and stable, grounded integration.

Retreat weeks may include ayahuasca and psilocybin (magic mushroom) ceremonies, with optional modalities such as 5-MeO-DMT (Bufo), kambo, and San Pedro (mescaline), depending on the retreat format and medical suitability. The focus is always on safety, nervous system regulation, and lasting transformation — not intensity for intensity’s sake.

And here’s the edge most retreats don’t offer: you’re supported between the big moments. Every participant gets access to our AI-supported preparation & integration app — a private, always-available companion built on our method and internal knowledge base. Think of it as your personal virtual therapist in your language, ready whenever you need orientation, grounding, or next steps.

Inside the app you’ll find a living repository of micro-practices (written and recorded), nervous-system tools, reflective prompts, and integration pathways — plus ayahuasca preparation dietary guidance, and nutrition support for mental wellbeing, drawn from our experience, protocols, and wiki-style knowledge database. It helps you prepare with precision, integrate with consistency, and turn insight into durable change in mood, relationships, habits, and purpose.

If you’re looking for safe ayahuasca ceremonies, psilocybin retreats, and psychedelic integration in Europe within a discreet, professional, high-standard environment, you’re in the right place.

Transform Your Mind and Body

Discover a Path to Mental and Physical Wellbeing

A woman feeling free and uplifted by the sea

You’re probably here because you want more quality of life — less stress, more clarity, and a sense of direction that isn’t forced. Whether you feel burned out, low, disconnected, or simply ready for something deeper, we can support you.

At Vine of the Soul Retreats, we blend psychology, neuroscience, and compassionate community — guiding you toward steadier energy, emotional resilience, and a life that feels like it belongs to you again.

A Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Approach

We work with the nervous system, not against it — emphasizing safety, deep listening, and respectful pacing. You’ll be met like a human, not a “case.”

Holistic Practices, Grounded in Results

We blend evidence-informed tools with body-based practices — supporting mind, body, and meaning so your progress holds up in real life.

Why Choose Us

Healing That Holds Up in Real Life

Modern life is a high-speed test of your nervous system. Even high-achieving professionals and deeply caring people can end up running on fumes — functioning on the outside while feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit.

We start from a simple truth: you already carry the key to your healing. Our job isn’t to “fix” you — it’s to build a container strong enough for change to happen and gentle enough for your system to trust it. With the right structure, tools, and support, insight becomes action, relief becomes stability, and transformation becomes something you can actually keep.

Our Values in Action

Empowerment

You lead your journey. We guide, reflect, and support — without taking your power away.

Safety

Trauma-informed, professional, and compassionate at every step — before, during, and after.

Science & Spirit

A practical bridge where psychology and neuroscience meet meaning, depth, and lived experience.

Community

Healing continues long after the retreat. You’re supported — and you’re not doing this alone.

Retreats can crack the door open — but without a larger container, most people end up with a few powerful memories and the same nervous system running the show.
What we offer is the structure around the experience: a longer arc that makes breakthroughs usable, repeatable, and hard to lose.

Break Free from Depression, Burnout & Meaninglessness

If you’ve tried therapy, meditation, or medication and still feel stuck, you’re not alone. The BioPsyche Renewal Protocol™ is our science-based, trauma-informed framework that holds the retreat work — stabilizing the body, restoring clarity, and translating insight into durable change.

And because transformation happens between the big moments, you also get access to our AI-supported preparation and integration app: a private space for psycho-education, preparation prompts, nervous-system tools, and practical next steps — helping you stay oriented before the retreat and supported long after you leave. Psychedelics are optional — transformation is not.

Ayahuasca Retreats Europe — integrity across borders

Vine of the Soul Retreats operates as a European retreat organizer with its primary center in Portugal’s Algarve. Many guests discover us while searching for Ayahuasca retreats Europe or Ayahuasca retreat Algarve — yet our work extends beyond a single location.

Each retreat is adapted to the legal, cultural, and ethical framework of the country in which it is held. We do not force a one-size-fits-all model across borders. We design responsibly within them.

Portugal: Ayahuasca retreat Algarve - Decriminalized framework

In Portugal, personal use is decriminalized. This allows retreats involving Ayahuasca and other psychedelics like magic mushrooms (psilocybin), mescaline (San Pedro) or 5-MEO-DMT (Bufo Alvvarius), all with documented mental health relevance to be held within a structured container of preparation, medical screening, and integration — consistent with what many refer to as Psychedelics assisted therapy.

Netherlands: Psilocybin Retreats Netherlands

In the Netherlands, our programs align with Dutch regulations. This includes Psilocybin retreats Netherlands using legal truffles, and where appropriate, ceremonial formats adapted to comply with local law.

Spain: Ayahuasca Retreats Spain

In Spain, we occasionally organize Ayahuasca Retreats Spain in carefully selected private settings, ensuring participant safety and legal awareness remain central.

Regarding Ayahuasca Retreats Germany

Some offerings marketed as Ayahuasca retreats Germany operate by serving only the vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) without DMT-containing admixtures in order to comply with German law, while remaining intentionally ambiguous about the distinction.

We choose a different path. Rather than offering symbolic or legally diluted versions, we invite our German guests to attend one of our international retreats where the original, traditional Ayahuasca brew can be held in an appropriate and legally considered setting.

For our German-speaking participants, we provide German-speaking facilitators and preparation materials. Weglot naturally translates our website, further supporting accessibility for those searching in German.

5-MEO-DMT / Bufo Alvarius

We also receive inquiries regarding 5-MEO-DMT ceremony experiences, sometimes referred to as Bufo Alvarius. Where legally and ethically appropriate, this may be offered as a standalone single-day ceremony or as an optional addition within a broader retreat container.

Participation is assessed individually. We do not combine substances in ways that conflict with psychiatric contraindications, cardiovascular risk, or incompatible medications.

Highly personalized — group, private, or in-home

Our retreats are intentionally small and personalized. In addition to group retreats, we design private retreats tailored to specific therapeutic goals.

In select circumstances, we may travel to support a participant within their own environment. This format can be appropriate for individuals living with disabilities, anxiety disorders, social anxiety, agoraphobia, or conditions that make travel and group participation difficult.

Preparation & Integration — supported by our app

All retreats are embedded within a preparation and integration framework supported by our dedicated app. The app provides structured guidance before and after retreat participation — including psychological preparation, safety education, journaling prompts, somatic practices, and ongoing integration tools.

This digital layer allows transformation to continue beyond the ceremonial space, ensuring that insights are metabolized into daily life rather than remaining peak experiences.
