Portugal retreats

In the beautiful nature of Algarve we found 2 locations with space for organizing ceremonies and body work for Soul Healing retreats. Faro Airport is closest to the locations. Being in nature makes it easier to dive deep into the work we offer and letting go of daily worries.

We have a beautiful retreat with the profound methods developed by Lars Faber: A once in a lifetime adventure of self discovery and healing.

This is part of The Sacred Voyage's most advancd healing program. All our knowledge and experience is focused in this program, that is build around Rumi's famous quote: "The Wound is the Place where the Light enters". This retreat is with two medicin plant ceremonies.

The Rebirth of the Soul (like the documentary).

  • 4 day retreat The Essence of Being
  • 5 day retreat Rebirth of the Soul (with 2 ceremonies)

4 day retreat: Essence of Being - with 2 ceremonies

Walking down the small cobbled stone paths into the valley for staying over in the cosy cabins is a metaphor for the days to come.
