Bianca - Founder Vine of the Soul

I've always been interested in psychology, since I was a child. That didn't keep me from stepping into my mothers' footprints and getting a depression in my adult life. I also struggled with insomnia, psychosomatic backpain and felt miserable overall. I was very successful professionally as an IT consultant. but still very unhappy. As most of us, I took the beliefs that were imprinted on me as a child and continued to reaffirm them in my adult life. Beliefs like I'm not (good) enough, I can't do that, you need to work hard to earn love and money etc. There was a lot self-sabotage and self-destructive behavior, like drinking, smoking and eating too much. My very first Ayahuasca journey catapulted me out of my victimhood, into the understanding that I am the creator of my life. It was a hard pill to swallow, but as somebody said "I took the ball, ran with it and never stopped again". I worked through my childhood trauma with psychedelics and Rapid Transformational Therapy and in a couple of months came to the point, where I had no attachments to the past anymore. When I started dismantling limiting believes, good things started flowing to me. Instead of working hard to make things happen, the right people and opportunities started showing up in my life. Now I use psychedelics, Rapid Transformational Therapy and coaching to free others from their victimhood. This wonderful team can help you open up the door to your own freedom and happiness! We show you the door, but you are the one who has to step through it.

In the selection of our team, what we are looking for first and foremost is truth: walking the talk. None of us is perfect, we don't pretend to have every answer. But what pulls us together are values like kindness, honesty, integrity, compassion and an immense love for people.

Transformative, amazing…

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

Loving caring team

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!

Caring and expert guidance

I have just done my first Ayahuasca retreat with Vine of the Soul. The experience was truly life-changing and I saw an abundance of healing in myself and others. Fatima and Bianca really know what they are doing, so I felt in very safe hands. Proper integration and preparation Is obviously obviously key, and they are both really good at helping you through both phases. Ceremony music is crucial too, as it guides you through the experience emotionally, and the music was absolutely phenomenal. I have a big playlist to take home! Doing Aya for the first time can be a daunting experience, but if you feel called to do it, you will be in excellent and loving hands if you chose this retreat.

The most profound weekend of my life.

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.
