Our 1-on-1 journey is a personalised ceremony with the medicine of mushrooms and can be a very beautiful way to deepen the connection to yourself and work through specific topics in a safe environment.
To ensure this experience is suitable for you, we will arrange a video call shortly after your booking and you will have a 1-1 private session with our trusted psycologist.
This is a day ceremony where we ask guests to arrive at around 13:00.
We meet in a beautiful and intimate space where your journey takes place. After an introduction and grounding meditation, we guide you through a short breathwork session to fully relax the body and mind for the journey ahead. Connected to your intention, you will now be ready to enter the ceremony.
One of our highly experienced guides will be present at all times and our carefully curated music playlists will take you on an unforgettable journey.
The ceremony itself will last approximately 5 hours and we will gently bring you back to the present moment when you feel ready to do so. Guests usually leave after approximately 6 hours but we will always make sure that you feel safe and confident to do so.
Your safety and comfort is our primary focus.
Before we accept anyone on to a day ceremony, we do ask that you contact us to make sure this is a suitable experience for you. There are (very rare) instances where we cannot accept clients. You can apply here https://www.sanctumportugal.com/one-on-one-therapy/
Please note that you are only paying for the treatment time at Sanctum and the substance is offered for you to take of your own volition.

Excellent
The retreat was very well organised. The hosts are very knowledgeable, their skills complement each other’s and they have great energy. I felt safe and in very good hands.
The location in Sintra couldn’t have been better.

A perfect setting: safety, kindness and beautiful surroundings
I accompanied my sister for her first journey, and for that I wanted to find a place where she could feel completely safe and supported. Sanctum was a perfect place for that, Graham and Maria are grounded, reassuring and generous. When my sister did not manage to breakthrough in her journey, they did not hesitate to give her an additional dose (after 2h into the trip), even though this would significantly lengthen the duration of her experience.
I work in the psychedelic field and I can say that Sanctum exceeded my expectations. I recommend this place for people who want a safe initiation to psychedelics, and also for experienced users who want to journey in great conditions.
Although they are not themselves therapists, they work with an integration therapist, and can therefore also provide sessions for people suffering from mental health conditions.
I also really appreciated the reasonable cost they charge, compared to other places.
We also rented the flat they make available for their participants. It's very nice and spacious, and conveniently located close to the tramway station.

Beautiful, safe, and caring experience
I did a session at Sanctum and it was a great experience. From start to finish the team at Sanctum made me feel at ease, and guided me through the process in a very knowledgeable way. They are experienced practitioners and I felt safe, allowing me to enjoy the process.

Incredible experience
I’m so happy and grateful that I got to visit sanctum Spain. The villa was huge yet cosy and had an amazing view of the mountains. Booking the retreat was straightforward and Graham was very kind and patient, even allowing me to reschedule my booking at the last minute. He was even nicer in person and was the best trip sitter. Maria was just as lovely and gave me the best head/neck massage just before I took the medicine. I was so nervous on the day but I think the warm energy of the villa and Graham’s presence helped me calm down and really surrender to the journey. I felt so looked after at sanctum. It’s been a few weeks and I still struggle to put my experience with the medicine into words but it was honestly life changing. I healed a lot of my pain/depression and had many realisations. Everyone has noticed a positive change in me and although my life is still the same, everything feels easier to deal with and I just generally feel more positive and peaceful. The journey really elevated my consciousness and opened my eyes to the beauty of this life. There’s so much more I could say but I’d recommend anyone who’s thinking of booking to go ahead and do it! You won’t regret it 🙏🏽
