About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Sacred Energy Awakening is an 8-day retreat in Portugal designed for people who are curious about psychedelics and somatic/energetic work, but prefer a paced approach. The week combines daily practices (Kundalini activation, breathwork, yoga, meditation) with optional plant medicine (San Pedro and an optional mushroom journey).

The focus is simple: good preparation, clear structure, careful facilitation, and integration that continues after you go home. We keep the group small (max 10) and work with a high facilitator-to-guest ratio.

Key elements
Daily Kundalini activation / energy transmission sessions
Breathwork, yoga, meditation, journaling and reflective practices
Optional plant medicine: San Pedro (Huachuma) + optional mushroom journey (micro or macro)
Integration woven into the schedule (not just “afterwards”)

What the week feels like
Think of it as a steady rhythm: daily practices in a supportive group, with enough space to rest and process. Some people experience strong emotional release; others experience quiet clarity and a sense of grounding. Both are normal.
If you choose to participate in plant medicine, it’s held carefully and without pressure. If you choose not to, you still have a full retreat: the Kundalini sessions, breathwork and integration work stand on their own.
We care less about peak moments and more about what you can actually carry into daily life afterwards.

San Pedro (optional) — a grounded daytime ceremony
San Pedro (also called Huachuma) is a traditional Andean cactus medicine. Many people experience it as an embodied, nature-connected process that unfolds gradually over many hours.
In this retreat, the San Pedro day is held with clear structure and integration support. Participation is optional and always individually screened.

Mushrooms (optional)
Optional mushroom journey (micro or macro)
One day includes an optional mushroom journey. It can be approached gently (micro) or more deeply (macro), depending on your sensitivity, experience and readiness. The aim is a workable experience you can integrate — not “maximum intensity”.

Participation is optional and always individually screened.

Wonderful
After booking a place on the 5 day Ayahuasca/ Psilocybin/ San Pedro Retreat I had a lovely phone call with Rosa to discuss my intentions and for Rosa to tell me more about how the retreat works and to answer any questions I had. When I arrived at the retreat centre I immediately felt welcome and very much at home. Everyone was so warm, kind, authentic and welcoming and also very knowledgable which gave me complete faith in the process. The ceremonies were beautiful and Kristina, Rosa, and Riccardo were always keeping a watchful eye and offering support for anyone who needed it and ensuring everyone felt safe. The meals were healthy and delicious, and the accommodation was homely and very comfortable. It was one of the most valuable and profound experiences of my life and what they are doing at Vine of the Soul is truly remarkable. I will absolutely be back again.

All the love to Rosa


I can’t say enough good things about Rosa! She has this incredible ability to touch the pain and help heal it energetically

Throughout my time at the retreat, she was always there, guiding me with patience and understanding

Rosa would light a candle for me, letting me hold it while explaining everything, which really helped me see the way forward
Even when I was being stubborn and a bit of a rock head, she remained by my side, calming me down and providing the support I needed

I’m so grateful for her presence and the healing she brought into my life

WOW - what an amazing experience
I was welcomed by a hug, something that has never happened to me. Rosa and Bianca, now my sister/mother/family, after just a few days, have touched my soul. The experience, I do not feel, would have been as magical without their help.

I was taken care of, experienced the ultimate gift of life, in a safe and comfortable setting. The people there were also brilliant but what truly makes this a warm, loving place are the care and attention given to you to make this as safe as possible. They went through thorough testing to ensure suitability and despite my various flaws, ensured I could optimise the days I was there.

I recently had the best day of my life and I can only thank them, and the Mother, for opening my eyes to see whats real. What is beautiful.

I’ve seen green and red whisps of strand across the air, light inside the soul, beating and providing bliss, peace and love. I’ve seen the ground move like snakes and the ceiling flow like water. At the same time coming to a realisation, listening to the women singing and beating drums, that the world is magic. They helped me understand what I needed to, I have come home a reformed person. I truly see what is infront of me and it wasn't just the vine of the soul that did this, it was the combination which ultimately lead to a lifechanging experience. I am currently looking for the next dates I can return. 2-3 days was perfect. Hot showers, comfortable beds, and beautiful background and animals really enhightened the experience.

Ladies, if you are reading this, than you for such an enriching and soul ignighting time. Words cannot express the gratitute, and love I have for you. The last night was the best night I have ever expereinced in my life. I finally saw, I finally understood, things I could never grasp my head around or feel in a decade.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. x

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
