Prana Foundation is dedicated to preserving ancestral Earth medicines and the lineages that carry them. Our mission is to create safe and sacred spaces for healing, self‑discovery, and spiritual growth, supporting individuals as they reconnect with their inner truth and awaken their highest potential. Our vision is a world where healing and consciousness are accessible to all, where communities live with compassion, authenticity, and connection to the Earth. We aspire to be a global reference for ethical, lineage‑based healing and the preservation of Indigenous wisdom.
We hold our retreats in a few different venues depending on the group size. The venues have all the facilities one would expect in a modern vacation house.

Will return next year
Very warm, friendly and professional people, as well as my fellow guests at the event. As a newcomer to the psychedelic ceremonies, I don't think I could've found a better group for my first experience, especially for the price

An amazing and transformative experience.
A huge thank you to the whole team for making this retreat a wonderful experience. The guidance and support I received before, throughout and after the retreat, as well as during the ceremonies themselves, has really helped me to integrate the experience and is already creating a positive shift in my life. Not to mention, the food was delicious and the venue was beautiful!! I would highly recommend Devi Chandra Ma and her team to anyone drawn to the plant medicine path.

Amazing family and healing
It was my first healing retreat and I could have not chosen a better group of caring and expert individuals.
During the entire experience I have felt well-informed and taken care of, from testing the ground by asking all sorts of questions and booking the retreat with Alise, to join Chandra, Sonia and all the other facilitators in a wonderful location in Portugal where they made sure I had everything I needed.
Although I cannot put in words how awakening and impactful on my life this experience has been, I can only stress out how I completely trusted Chandra and Sonia from the very beginning, their aura exudes kindness and compassion.
I would choose nobody else than them to embark in such a transformative journey.
I am beyond grateful they have entered my life.
Can't wait to meet them all again very soon!

Remarkable Experience – Choosing This Retreat Is One Of My Best Decisions
I felt that I could 100% trust Chandra and Sonia with the experience, and they are the only people I would go on this journey with. They are caring, compassionate, good listeners, and experts in plant medicines.
Chandra made sure that every person on the retreat had their needs met. The best part was the focus on integration and the integration talks really made this a sustainable experience and provided me with the tools to implement the learning in my practical life. The integration focus is unique to this specific retreat, as other retreats do not focus on the integration and post-retreat experiences.
Chandra and Sonia made sure we weren’t traumatized and offered ayahuasca doses that fit with our experiences and histories. This was very important for me as I was a bit worried about the impact of ayahuasca on me. During the ceremonies, Chandra and Sonia made sure we were protected and comfortable. Chandra’s songs and beautiful voice really helped amplify the journey. After the ceremonies were over, I still felt very buzzed and Chandra and Sonia offered support at the end of all three nights, but I refused. If I could do anything differently, I would have asked for support then. However, I was fine, and I had a safe night after all three ceremonies.
I learned a lot in the retreat (beyond the ayahuasca ceremony) that I found extremely useful. For example, I learned about breathing techniques, yoga, healing modalities, food, meditation, and aromatherapy.
SINCE THE RETREAT, I HAVE NO MORE FIBROMYALGIA PAIN, so if you have chronic conditions relating to trauma, this may be the medicine to try.
The accommodation was beautiful. The food was in accordance with the requirements of the ayahuasca diet and there were a variety of options.
I went to the retreat looking for freedom from pain, and I came back with so much more – a support group, a family, a toolkit of resources for life, and a newfound perspective. Thank you for making this a special experience.
