Retreat Highlights
- AS AN OLDER WOMAN and emotions therapist, I recognize the UNIQUE DESIRES AND NEEDS THAT MY "OVER 50" CLIENTS HAVE when it comes to retreats – and the keen interest in the INCLUSION OF PSILOCYBIN MEDICINE (magic mushrooms) as part of their retreat experience. Of course, we want a CARING AND SUPPORTIVE SETTING to FEEL SECURE AND CONFIDENT in our exploration and healing. But we also desire COMFORT and LUXURY, with comfy beds, ENSUITE BATHS, mesmerizing views and a heated pool! We've EARNED THE PRIVILEGE to pursue our experiences in style👌🏽
- So if you are ready to MOVE BEYOND YOUR EMOTIONAL CHALLENGES, learn how to MANAGE YOUR FEELINGS, and enjoy a much RICHER EMOTIONAL LIFE, then join us in CAPTIVATING SOUTHERN PORTUGAL for this powerful and never-to-be-forgotten SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE!

- You know how to access your BEST SELF and lead by example, INVITING VULNERABILITY AND COMPASSION to be your guides – prioritizing SELF-CARE, knowing when to press pause to go within and NOURISH YOURSELF.

About this Retreat

MEET YOUR RETREAT HOST:
Hello, I’m Becca, the founder of Emotional Liberation with Becca Williams. My life’s work is to support people in releasing stress, overwhelm and the self-defeating behaviors that are interfering with their happiness – so they can connect with what's meaningful in their lives.
As an emotions therapist, a clinical nutritionist, and a sacred medicine facilitator, I'm passionate about the potency of collective healing in small group gatherings. I truly believe that we can grow exponentially through the shared intention, exploration, and creation of our journey together – because each person’s discovery is an invitation for another person’s break through.
With my nurturing and careful support, you'll dive into a journey of deep self-discovery in a secure, intimate group environment. During our time together you are no longer walking this path alone – as a group we create space for vulnerability, support, and authentic human-to-human connection.
For over twenty years, I've had the privilege of guiding people through their journeys of healing and transformation. But it has been in the last 8 years that I have included the transformative power of psilocybin alongside my Emotional Liberation programs to deepen the healing journey, offering a unique pathway to self-discovery and emotional freedom.
As a clinician, I appreciate that research has shown that both microdosing and macrodosing psilocybin enhances the process of neuroplasticity – the ability to form and reorganize synaptic connections in the brain to develop new patterns of thought and behavior helping to overcome limiting subconscious beliefs.
This is my first entry on RetreatGuru so I have no reviews yet on this site. But I will add a few below.

WHAT STUDENTS AND CLIENTS ARE SAYING:
“With Becca's emotions work, the psilocybin helps me visualize effortlessly and just connect with everything. I go straight to the heart of being in touch with my emotions – it’s effortless and helps me see my true essence that’s hiding under all the armor and bring it forward.” – Betsy W, Connecticut
"Becca is a wonderful teacher and an inspiring human being. She brings out the best in people and has a really good way of making you feel very safe and secure – she's an excellent mentor. – Laura C, Ireland
“This work challenges you to dive deep into your emotions and your spirit and find what makes you tick. The reward is knowing yourself. It’s made a big difference to me and my wife; my attitude has changed a lot.” – David C, California
“Learning how to make my difficult emotions work for me is fascinating and extremely helpful. I don’t think I would’ve been able to stay at my current job without the knowledge and tools I’ve gained from Becca's Emotional Liberation approach!” – Chris H, California
"I would absolutely recommend anyone to be working with Becca. She is an amazing spiritual teacher who has the techniques to help you go through and challenge yourself in areas where you want to grow.” – Linda S, Massachusetts

Getting Here
Becca Williams’ Private Luxury Villa, Praia da Luz, Portugal
Directions
Where do I fly into? What’s the best way to get to the retreat villa?
You have several options:
The main airport in Southern Portugal is the Faro airport (airport abbreviation is FAO). It’s about an hour away from our retreat villa, which is outside Lagos. You could:
• Fly into Lisbon and connect to a flight to Faro and then train to Lagos (1 hr train ride).
• Fly into Faro (FAO) from select American and European cities. Then take a (1 hour) train ride or (2-hour) bus ride from Faro to Lagos.
• Recommended: If you are flying into Lisbon, you can then take the train (a leisurely scenic 4-ish hours) to Lagos, where our retreat villa is. You would want to land in Lisbon airport in the morning and then Uber/taxi over to the train station for an early afternoon train to Lagos. And then you would Uber/taxi to our retreat villa.
You could also add a few days before or after your trip to explore Lisbon – a world class city.

Accommodation
Our villa features spacious sleeping quarters, each furnished with cozy twin beds and an ensuite bathroom for your comfort. Whether you’re attending alone or with a good friend or partner (push the twins together), there’s an option for you! While all rooms are designed for double occupancy, we also offer the option to enjoy the space privately if that calls to you. If you would like a roommate, we’re committed to thoughtfully matching you with another guest who is also looking for a (same gender) companion. In the event that a match isn’t available, your room will be considered a private accommodation (for a supplemental fee of €415). Choose your view during Early Bird! Rooms have expansive views of the ocean, pool, mountains or countryside. The choice of view is by request on a first-come, first-served basis.
