Vine of the soul Retreats

I was welcomed by a hug, something that has never happened to me. Rosa and Bianca, now my sister/mother/family, after just a few days, have touched my soul. The experience, I do not feel, would have been as magical without their help.

I was taken care of, experienced the ultimate gift of life, in a safe and comfortable setting. The people there were also brilliant but what truly makes this a warm, loving place are the care and attention given to you to make this as safe as possible. They went through thorough testing to ensure suitability and despite my various flaws, ensured I could optimise the days I was there.

I recently had the best day of my life and I can only thank them, and the Mother, for opening my eyes to see whats real. What is beautiful.

I’ve seen green and red whisps of strand across the air, light inside the soul, beating and providing bliss, peace and love. I’ve seen the ground move like snakes and the ceiling flow like water. At the same time coming to a realisation, listening to the women singing and beating drums, that the world is magic. They helped me understand what I needed to, I have come home a reformed person. I truly see what is infront of me and it wasn't just the vine of the soul that did this, it was the combination which ultimately lead to a lifechanging experience. I am currently looking for the next dates I can return. 2-3 days was perfect. Hot showers, comfortable beds, and beautiful background and animals really enhightened the experience.

Ladies, if you are reading this, than you for such an enriching and soul ignighting time. Words cannot express the gratitute, and love I have for you. The last night was the best night I have ever expereinced in my life. I finally saw, I finally understood, things I could never grasp my head around or feel in a decade.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. x

How to put this into words…from the moment I arrived, I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and caring environment. (Alphabetically!) Axis, Bianca, Chiara, Kristina and Riccardo are some of the most genuinely amazing people you will ever meet, and also extremely knowledgeable about plant medicine. The setting is beautiful as well. You are truly in good hands and the initial integration call, 121 meeting prior to the first ceremony and “sharing circle” the day after are brilliant to put you at ease. Met some amazing people on similar journeys and feel extremely grateful for the experience. Not sure if the retreat has or will change me going forward, but I am already noticing a few changes in perception. A connection to my personal path was a big motivation for me coming in, and I think the amazing space holders and medicine have given me a platform. If you are in any doubts, I would take a leap…you won’t regret it. 100/10, would recommend :) R

Lovely team, a beautiful place to be where you can rest your mind and soul 🙏🏼

You will meet amazing people whom you can fully trust. They will support you through your journey, be it ecstatic or tough. They all had their unique life trajectories, with ups and downs, hard times, vulnerabilities and traumas. They came out of it with extended empathy skills, and responsive attunement to other human beings. You will feel in a spiritual family with them.

Eve, Laurie, Riccardo, Christina, I enjoyed my time with you!

When I arrived at Faro airport, I honestly did not know what to expect. Feelings of apprehension were strong, but as soon as I found João waiting for me in arrivals they dissipated. The drive from the airport took roughly 40 minutes, and upon arrival at the house, Fatima warmly greeted me like an old friend. I felt incredibly welcomed and safe, and after some time had passed and the ongoing ceremony had finished I had my one on one with Fatima and set my intention for the first ceremony and went to bed feeling reassured that I was where I needed to be.

The ceremony room was incredibly well curated and felt like exactly the right place to be doing the work I needed. The ceremonies themselves were both the hardest and most profound experience of my life, yet despite the challenges, Fatima, Bianca, João, and Alex were all there on hand to help me when I needed it. While I struggled with the experiences on different days in different ways, I never felt unsafe. After the ceremony there was always plenty of amazing food available, and a safe space to process and recount my experience with the other participants before heading to bed.

Overall I cannot rate this experience high enough. The entire team of facilitators was just amazing, as were the rest of the group. Though we all had our own demons to battle, we all shared in this beautiful, transformative experience, and I wouldn't change any aspect of it for anything in the world.

If you are looking for THE place in Europe to do the work, this is it. I will be back in the future, of that I am sure. 100 stars out of 5.
