Retreat Highlights

  • A Path Unveiled: Your Journey to Wellness
  • Your transformative journey begins the moment you decide to join us. We start with a personalised online screening call to ensure a smooth, gentle transition into the retreat space. Our team is here for you every step of the way, providing a safe and supportive environment. All staff are first-aid trained, and a defibrillator is on-site for your peace of mind. We also give you access to our online **Skool Community** from day one, where you can join workshops and talks to prepare for your experience.
  • **Guided Exploration & Healing**
  • We've designed a powerful, holistic process to support your deepest healing.
  • * **5 MeO DMT Exploration:** Under expert guidance, you can embark on a transformative journey with **5 MeO**, with the option of 1 to 3 experiences.
  • * **Trauma-Informed Support: We integrate Non-Dual Therapy with Somatic Experiencing (SE). This body-centred approach gently helps you release trauma that may be trapped in the body, promoting deep and lasting healing. It’s a way to feel into your sensations and allow for natural release.
  • **Nurturing Your Integration**
  • The real journey of transformation unfolds as you integrate your experience. Following your ceremony, you can choose from optional workshops or simply relax and reconnect with nature on your own. We provide personalised guidance and expert advice designed by our integration specialists and me to support you on your continued wellness path. To ensure a lasting impact, we conclude your retreat with follow-up calls and provide a safe space in our **Skool community** for ongoing integration calls, workshops, and sharing.
  • **Rejuvenate & Connect**
  • At Shangriballa, you have the space and freedom to truly reconnect with yourself. Take a refreshing dip in our pristine, natural swimming pool, unwind in the sauna, and find stillness on our beautiful walking trails. You can also embrace your creativity with art therapy and join additional workshops focused on trauma release and meditation to enhance your experience.

Details of this retreat

The Neutral Witness: A Year-End Deep Dive at Estrela Serenity.

This December, join the Shangriballa family for an intensive, year-end immersion at the exquisite Estrela Serenity Resort & Spa. While our usual home at Loural is taking a scheduled construction break, we’ve moved this final cycle to the mountains to offer you a premium, fully supported container. We are moving beyond the concept of "healing" and into the direct reality of who you actually are.

Our December retreat is an expansive, 6-day container. We have curated this experience at Estrela Serenity to leverage the comfort of a world-class resort, creating deep space for reflection, silence, and the integration of your process as we conclude the year.

The Experience
At Shangriballa, we don’t just facilitate an experience; we hold a sacred, trauma-informed space for your own awakening. We guide you through a holistic process that integrates the power of 5-MeO-DMT with non-dual philosophy and somatic release.

Your 5-Day Schedule (Dec 7–13):

Dec 7: Arrival and settling into your suite.

Dec 8–9: Intensive preparation workshops and personal therapy.

Dec 10: Non-Dual Workshop and Low-Dose session.

Dec 11–12: Main Dose sessions, sharing, and integration.

Dec 13: Morning departure.

Note: We have removed Kambo from this specific year-end retreat to prioritise quiet reflection.

A Retreat & Spa Sanctuary
Estrela Serenity is designed for rest. Every guest enjoys a private suite, ensuring you have a contained, peaceful environment between sessions.

In-Room Comfort: Private toilet and shower, plush towels, curated toiletries, hair dryer, and personal safe.

Amenities: In-room coffee and tea facilities and floor-to-ceiling sunset views.

Nourishment: The work is demanding; the body needs high-vibration fuel. Our in-house chef prepares fresh, organic, local meals daily, crafted to stabilize your energy and support physical recovery.

Our Holistic Framework
True transformation requires a bridge between insight and daily living. We utilize a three-stage process to ensure you are fully supported:

Preparation: Personalised consultations to cultivate a receptive mindset.

Ceremony: A profound opportunity to connect with your truest essence and gain direct insights into the nature of reality.

Integration: We prioritise the "after." We support you in weaving these insights into your nervous system through somatic practices and one-on-one sessions, ensuring the work lasts long after you return home.

Longer stays are welcome. We encourage you to arrive early to settle or stay a few extra days to allow the peace of the mountains to fully integrate your process.

Are you ready to witness yourself?
Apply today to join us at Estrela Serenity for this profound year-end closing.

Schedule

6 Night Immersion. Designed for complete integration

We’ve structured this retreat to move from arrival through deep inquiry, culminating in a clear, grounded exit. By removing Kambo from this year-end cycle, we’ve opened up the container specifically for reflection and the integration of your process.

Dec 7 (Arrival): Settle into your suite, disconnect, and prepare your nervous system for the days ahead.

Dec 8 (Day 1): Preparation Day—intensive workshops and therapy.

Dec 9 (Day 2): Non-Dual Workshop and Low-Dose Session.

Dec 10 (Day 3): Main Dose, Sharing, and Integration.

Dec 11 (Day 4): Main Dose, Sharing, and Integration.

Dec 12 (Day 5): Integration Workshops and closing.

Dec 13 (Departure): Morning departure, refreshed and recalibrated.

Lunch is at 13:00 with free time till 17:00 for massages and leisure.

Why Not Stay Longer?

Give Yourself Time. Integration doesn't happen on a clock. If you’re travelling from afar or simply need more space to let the work settle, we highly recommend arriving earlier or staying beyond the 13th. The Serra da Estrela mountains provide the perfect backdrop to buffer your return to daily life.
Note: Schedule is approximate and may change

The perfect environment for a retreat
Set and setting is the number one priority when choosing a retreat.

Lisa and Miguel along with all the other staff (it’s more like a family) at Loural provided the perfect environment for a safe, peaceful and enjoyable experience.

I was treated with loving kindness and compassion.

Lisa and Miguel hold space beautifully during ceremony and I felt completely safe the whole time.

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful seven days.
