Lagos, Portugal
Up to 8 in group
Jun 6 - 10, 2027
Retreat Highlights
- IF EVER YOU LONGED FOR THIS EXPERIENCE, HERE IS A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE SPACE FOR DEEP HEALING WITH PLANT MEDICINE, HELD WITH CARE FOR THOSE READY TO EXPLORE BUT NEEDING TO FEEL TRULY SECURE AND GUIDED.
- Sacred Plant Medicine Experiences: Embrace the transformative power of psilocybin alongside Becca's Emotional Liberation techniques for profound self-discovery and healing. Guided by both Becca's inspiring and expert support, immerse yourself in a journey of deep exploration in a secure, intimate group environment.
- All experience levels are welcome. Each gathering is curated specifically for the unique needs of the individuals in our small group.
- When you feel “the call” of the medicine, it’s a deep, intuitive sense urging you to connect with it. This isn’t about running from discomfort, seeking a quick escape, or jumping on a trendy bandwagon. Instead, it’s a quiet invitation from within, encouraging you to step into a meaningful and intentional experience with the medicine.
- We keep our groups small, typically welcoming 5-8 participants with 2-3 staff, to ensure that everyone receives the personalized care and attention they deserve.
- Our retreats are a blend of lighthearted fun and meaningful moments of deep exploration and connection.
- Over our time together, you will also have daily time for you to unwind and enjoy some solitude – whether that's relaxing in your room, taking a refreshing dip in the heated pool, or immersing yourself in the natural beauty surrounding our beach house. Think of it as your personal recharge time, because even the most supportive spaces deserve "me" time.

ABOUT BECCA
Hello, I'm Becca Williams. My life's work is supporting people in releasing emotional overwhelm and self-defeating patterns that interfere with their happiness, relationships, and ability to connect meaningfully with themselves and others.
As an emotions therapist, trained clinical nutritionist, and sacred medicine facilitator, I integrate psilocybin experiences with my work in emotional exploration, nervous system awareness, and psycho-spiritual inquiry. My approach recognizes the important role emotions play in our well-being, our relationships, and how we experience life.
I believe emotions aren't something to fix or push away, but experiences to be understood. Learning to meet them differently can open the door to a new relationship with ourselves, with others, and with life.
I offer both intimate group retreats and private, day-long psilocybin experiences for individuals or two people together. Whether working in a small group or one-to-one, my intention is to provide a safe, supportive environment for meaningful inner exploration, with thoughtful preparation and personal integration support to help bring your discoveries into everyday life.
This is my first entry on RetreatGuru so I have no reviews on this site. But I will add a few below.

Details of this retreat
If you're a perceptive, soulful person who's ready to reset the patterns & beliefs that upset your life, then join us in captivating Southern Portugal for an immersive and cost-accessible spiritual adventure.
Our retreat time comes with nourishing vegan food, a cozy bed, sacred medicine, and curated activities to stroke your soul, unleash belly laughs, and nurture meaningful connections. Retreats are intentionally designed to create deep, heartfelt connections, whether we have three attendees or ten.
SACRED PLANT MEDICINE, HELD WITH CARE
When integrated with Becca's Emotional Liberation techniques, these experiences aim to enhance emotional healing and self-discovery for deeper introspection. The spiritual journeying ceremonies with and without plant medicine are included in the retreat cost, and you'll be fully supported and guided at every level, no matter your experience with plant medicine.
1:1 sessions are included before the retreat to help you prepare, and after to help the experience settle into your everyday life.
In 2001, Portugal decriminalized the possession and consumption of all drugs for personal use. Personal use of substances operates in an undefined regulatory space.
NOURISHMENT, INSIDE AND OUT
You'll be served nourishing vegan meals that complement your retreat experience: all plant-based and prepared fresh, in-house by our private chef.
On the psilocybin ceremony day, we eat more lightly, since medicine is most effective on an empty stomach, which also helps prevent nausea.
Nourishing the body with wholesome vegan meals isn't just about physical health. It's about creating harmony within, allowing your mind to clear so your spirit can flourish.
A JOURNEY THAT STAYS WITH YOU
Our days together are designed to provide a powerful, transformative journey that will resonate long after you leave. Through sacred teachings and poignant discussions, you'll discover why your difficult emotions can elevate your own personal well-being, and commit to a path toward emotional growth and resilience.

Getting Here
Retreat House at Dunas Douradas, Lagos, Portugal
Directions
Lagos, in southern Portugal, is easily accessible from either Faro or Lisbon. The region's main international airport is Faro (FAO), approximately 50 minutes from Lagos by car. You can fly directly into Faro and continue to Lagos by train or bus.
Alternatively, fly into Lisbon and connect to Faro with a short domestic flight, followed by an approximately one-hour train ride to Lagos. Or, my personal favorite, take the scenic 3–4-hour train or bus journey directly from Lisbon to Lagos. It's a lovely way to begin your Portuguese adventure.
