A Private Psychedelic Retreat in Portugal, Built Around You

In a private retreat there are no other guests. The team's attention stays with you, or with the people you chose to bring, and the timing of ceremonies, rest and integration follows your pace.

People come with trauma, burnout, grief, a major transition, or the wish to look honestly at their life. The medicine, the number of ceremonies and the intensity are agreed with you during screening and preparation.

“There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Every person is met exactly where they are, and the support is adapted to what they truly need.”

Franziska K., Germany

Come Alone, as a Couple, or With Your Own Circle

Both formats are fully private and follow the same screening, preparation and integration. The difference is who is in the room with you.

1 or 2 people

Private 1:1 or Couple Retreat

  • No other guests in ceremony. The facilitators follow only your process.
  • A good fit for sensitive nervous systems, very personal themes, or a need for discretion.
  • In a private psychedelic couple retreat you share the ceremonies, and each of you has individual preparation and integration.
  • 1 to 3 ceremonies over 2 to 4 days.

From €1,200 for one person or €1,900 for a couple, stay included.

Pricing for 1:1 and couples

“I completely trusted the facilitators from the moment I met them, which does not come easily to me.”

Mr Kennedy, United Kingdom

3 to 7 people: friends, family, teams

Private Group Retreat

  • The house and the team are reserved for your circle. Nobody else joins.
  • When at least some of you already know each other, everything is more relaxed from the first day.
  • You support one another during the retreat, and you can keep doing so at home.
  • Each person still has their own screening, preparation and 1:1 time.

These are among the retreats we most enjoy holding.

From €1,460 per person for one ceremony, plus accommodation.

Pricing for private groups

“Everyone is going through it together and we applauded each other, cried together and offered companionship and collective peace.”

Max M., United Kingdom

Screened, Trauma-Informed and Matched to You

Whether you come alone or as a group, the same rules apply. Nothing is confirmed before we know that the retreat can be held safely.

“The ceremonies were intentional and not overly performative, which I appreciated. Integration was taken seriously.”

Lena L., Germany

Screening first

Every guest has a medical and psychological screening: history, medication, psychiatric background, cardiovascular health. If a medicine is not appropriate, we say so and suggest an alternative.

The medicine fits the person

Ayahuasca, Psilocybin (mushrooms or truffles), San Pedro and, where appropriate, Bufo Alvarius. We have no favourite. We match the medicine to the person and the moment.

1, 2 or 3 ceremonies

Often Ayahuasca first, then Ayahuasca or Psilocybin, with San Pedro to close. These are suggestions, and your retreat is planned with you.

Integration

Preparation before you arrive, integration on site with facilitators trained in trauma-informed and somatic work, and one online follow-up call once you are home.

Where Your Private Retreat Takes Place

Our home base is a quiet house in the countryside of the Algarve, Portugal, about 15 minutes from the beach and easy to reach from most European cities.

On request, a private psychedelic retreat in Europe can also be held at a location of your choice: a rented villa, a retreat space, or your own home.

This is only possible where the local legal framework allows the work. We check this with you during screening, before anything is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which medicines can I work with in a private retreat?
Depending on your health profile, medication, psychological background and intentions, you may be able to work with Ayahuasca, Psilocybin (magic mushrooms or truffles), San Pedro and, in some cases, Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT). We look at the options together during screening and preparation. Sometimes we recommend a different plant, breathwork or a format without medicine, if we believe that is safer or a better fit.
Is this suitable if I have a trauma history or feel very sensitive?
Many guests with a trauma history or high sensitivity deliberately choose a private psychedelic retreat in Portugal because of the quiet environment and the focused support. We screen carefully for psychiatric and medical contraindications and only go ahead if we believe the retreat can be held safely and responsibly. If not, we may suggest a different format or a later time.
Can we come as a couple but still have individual space?
Yes. In a private psychedelic couple retreat you share the ceremonies, and each of you also has individual preparation and integration. We plan both joint sessions and separate time, so each person can move at their own pace.
How is a private group retreat priced?
Per person, in three parts: a flat that depends on the size of your group (€2,000 with 3 people, €1,720 with 4, €1,480 with 5, €1,220 with 6 and €1,080 with 7), €380 per ceremony, and €95 per night for accommodation. Example: five people, two ceremonies and two nights come to €2,430 per person.
Can the private retreat take place at a location of my choice, including my own home?
Yes. Our home base is in the Algarve, Portugal, about 15 minutes from the beach. A private psychedelic retreat in Europe can also be arranged at a location of your choice, such as a rented villa, a quiet retreat space or your own home, provided the local legal framework allows the work to take place. We assess this together during screening, before anything is confirmed.
