Details of this retreat

The Sacred Medicines & Live Sound Transmission
Our work integrates powerful elemental forest remedies with absolute respect for individual limits. Every stage of the journey is intentionally woven with live, prayer-infused medicine music to guide your consciousness safely through the currents of the experience:

Ayahuasca: A medicine of vision and truth. It opens pathways, reveals what needs healing, and realigns the spirit with its essence. Guided directly by live music, the acoustic frequencies act as an anchor, shifting the energy of the room and safely carrying you through deeper layers of release and clarity.

The Healing Force of Breath & Sound: A medicine of focus, mental cleansing, and spiritual connection. It quiets the mind, grounds your energetic body, and opens the heart to deep learning.

All medicines are applied with discernment, consent, and careful guidance, ensuring you are fully supported from the first prayer to the final integration.

Directions

Getting to Vale de Ebros
Nearest International Airport: Faro Airport (FAO). It is a 40-minute drive from our sanctuary.
Alternative Airports: Lisbon (LIS) or Seville (SVQ). Both are approximately 2.5 to 3 hours away by car or bus.
Train Access: Take the train to Tavira Station. We provide a 15-minute private pickup from the station to the hills.
Private Transfer: For your convenience, we provide complimentary private transport from Faro Airport or Tavira directly to our gates.

By Car: Use the A22 Highway, take Exit 14 (Tavira), and head inland toward the hills. We provide a precise GPS pin upon booking.

Tip: We recommend arriving at Faro Airport for the smoothest experience. Our private driver will handle the final ascent into the valley, allowing you to begin your "Neural Reset" the moment you land.

The property features a main house with a sacred ceremony room, an onsite guesthouse, and premium tents closer to nature. All living, sleeping, and bathroom facilities are communal and fully shared among the participants. Guests sleep on comfortable, pre-arranged mattresses distributed across these three shared spaces. Please note that specific accommodation types cannot be guaranteed in advance. Sleeping spaces will be distributed among the participants upon arrival. The property also features open panoramic valley views, a private swimming pool, and peaceful natural grounds accessible throughout the stay.

Excellence and deep care ❤️
An incredible experience. Toque da Luz provides a beautiful and secure setting for a psilocybin session. The guidance is personalized, attentive, and very professional. If you are looking for a space to journey with total confidence in Lisbon, this is the perfect place. Thank you for everything 🥰

Wonderful experience
I did a one day mushroom experience at Toque da Luz. I really enjoyed the ceremony. There is a lot of attention to detail with everything. The house is immaculate and very comfortable. It’s a very relaxing and peaceful setting. They grow and store their own mushrooms so you know the quality is high and very potent. I like that they use the high dose(4 grams) lemon tek method which is not common at retreats. The experience is very inward and therapeutic. Since it’s all one on one attention small adjustments can be made which is helpful. It’s easy to get to from Lisbon, about an hr away by train. I would definitely go back again.

Highly recommended
It was a very pleasant encounter and experience with Toque da Luz, with Junia and Ann-Sophie and with this medicine.
They made me feel welcome, are very open-minded, caring, and responsible.
Good energy. Shamanic guidance, and gentle support.
I had confidence in Junia's knowledge, intuition, and her respect for sacred plant medicines.
I look forward to future meetings and healing journeys with them.
