EXPANDED Consciousness: 5-day Psilocybin Retreat, Portugal
With Tibor, Angelika and Lilia
Package Dates
Plant medicine retreat in the heart of Portugal, lead by certified psychotherapists, designed for healing and self-discovery.
Our retreats offer an ethical and safe setting for plant medicine assisted exploration, guided by experienced psychotherapists. Whether you seek emotional healing, inner clarity or a renewed sense of purpose.
We have thoughtfully and lovingly created this retreat to provide a setting that honours both the wisdom of plant medicine traditions and the psychological realities of the modern world. While many plant medicine retreats attempt to replicate indigenous or shamanic settings, these approaches may not always resonate with those unfamiliar with such traditions. We build a bridge between ancient practices and contemporary psychological frameworks with sensitivity and integrity.
Syntara retreats are designed for those who feel called to work with plant medicine but seek a setting that is both respectful of its traditions and attuned to the complexities of personal transformation. We honour the lineages that have safeguarded these medicines for millennia, while also recognising that healing today often requires an approach that integrates traditional wisdom with contemporary understanding.
If you are seeking a retreat that balances reverence for ancient traditions with a contemporary understanding of personal healing, Syntara may be the space for you. Here, we offer a bridge between worlds, a place where you can explore plant medicine with curiosity, respect, and the support needed to integrate your journey into daily life. Healing is not about returning to the past; it is about carrying forward the wisdom of those who came before us in a way that is meaningful and transformative for today’s world.
Standing on the shoulders of those who have walked before us, we acknowledge that these traditions, whether shamanic, philosophical, or psychotherapeutic, are not relics of the past but living systems of knowledge that continue to shape and transform us.
