Find Authentic Retreats in Lisbon Portugal

"Very warm, friendly and professional people, as well as my fellow guests at the event. As a newcomer to the psychedelic ceremonies, I don't think I could've found a better group for my first experience, especially for the price"

"Very professional staff, beautiful singing and wise guidance from Shandra and Sonia. Profound experience overall. To anyone interested in experimenting with consciousness and opening the door to higher insight and healing, I can voucher for Prana Verein."

"A huge thank you to the whole team for making this retreat a wonderful experience. The guidance and support I received before, throughout and after the retreat, as well as during the ceremonies themselves, has really helped me to integrate the experience and is already creating a positive shift in my life. Not to mention, the food was delicious and the venue was beautiful!! I would highly recommend Devi Chandra Ma and her team to anyone drawn to the plant medicine path. "

"This was my first ever healing retreat and I am deeply grateful Sonia was one of the facilitators. You could see and feel how passionate she was with helping everybody out, taking care compassionately of the group and guiding you gently and kindly during the ceremonies. She really was a beacon of light, like a lighthouse in the heart of the night, enthrallingly dancing and singing to move energy and open doors of liberation. She acts promptly and listens carefully to your needs, showing great knowledge and expertise in using various healing techniques. In short, just trust in Sonia's gentle spirit and you will have a wonderful healing experience. Moltes gràcies Sonia, espero veure't aviat, bombons inclòs :) "

"It was my first healing retreat and I could have not chosen a better group of caring and expert individuals. During the entire experience I have felt well-informed and taken care of, from testing the ground by asking all sorts of questions and booking the retreat with Alise, to join Chandra, Sonia and all the other facilitators in a wonderful location in Portugal where they made sure I had everything I needed. Although I cannot put in words how awakening and impactful on my life this experience has been, I can only stress out how I completely trusted Chandra and Sonia from the very beginning, their aura exudes kindness and compassion. I would choose nobody else than them to embark in such a transformative journey. I am beyond grateful they have entered my life. Can't wait to meet them all again very soon!"

"I had the great opportunity to join a Devi Chandra Ma's retreat, and I could not ask for a better guiding light. Since the first moment we met, Chandra has taken great care of the group and each single participant, being always present, kind and compassionate in helping walking the path of much longed-for healing. You could feel from the first meeting with her how passionate and devoted she is to her sacred calling of making the world a better place one healed soul at a time. Chandra's therapies and healing modalities were well-organized and performed with great expertise and love, they have been a soothing balm for the soul. I always felt in safe hands and eager to embark in the healing process with her every day. Knowing that I am part of Chandra's big family is giving me great support and hope for the future. Muchas gracias por todo Chandra, nos vemos muy pronto!"

"I was in three ayahuasca ceremonies with Sonia and spent 6-days with her and was deeply impressed by her knowledge, passion, compassion, and support. During the ceremonies, Sonia ensured that every person had their needs met and was extremely reliable. I felt that I could trust Sonia with a very vulnerable experience and she cared for me like a big sister. Sonia is also deeply knowledgeable about healing modalities, crystals, yoni eggs, female health, and plant medicine (she has invented a wonderful pain-relieving cream that does wonders). Thank you Sonia for all you do for this world and the people in it - very grateful :) "

"I met Chandra on her retreat and found her to be kind, caring, compassionate and an expert in her field. I was using ayahuasca to process a difficult past and fibromyalgia pains. Chandra offered me many resources (including breathwork, yoga, food awareness, and healing modalities) to make me feel comfortable. Since the ayahuasca ceremonies, I do not have fibromyalgia pain and I was able to process a lot of things that were the root cause of my chronic conditions. I felt that I could trust Chandra as much as a person could trust their own mother, as she deeply cares about plant medicine, healing and the people she offers these treasures to. I feel lucky to have Chandra in my life due to the retreat. Thanks Chandra for all that you do to make this world a better place and to make the people in it a bit happier, healthier, and more comfortable :) "

"I felt that I could 100% trust Chandra and Sonia with the experience, and they are the only people I would go on this journey with. They are caring, compassionate, good listeners, and experts in plant medicines. Chandra made sure that every person on the retreat had their needs met. The best part was the focus on integration and the integration talks really made this a sustainable experience and provided me with the tools to implement the learning in my practical life. The integration focus is unique to this specific retreat, as other retreats do not focus on the integration and post-retreat experiences. Chandra and Sonia made sure we weren’t traumatized and offered ayahuasca doses that fit with our experiences and histories. This was very important for me as I was a bit worried about the impact of ayahuasca on me. During the ceremonies, Chandra and Sonia made sure we were protected and comfortable. Chandra’s songs and beautiful voice really helped amplify the journey. After the ceremonies were over, I still felt very buzzed and Chandra and Sonia offered support at the end of all three nights, but I refused. If I could do anything differently, I would have asked for support then. However, I was fine, and I had a safe night after all three ceremonies. I learned a lot in the retreat (beyond the ayahuasca ceremony) that I found extremely useful. For example, I learned about breathing techniques, yoga, healing modalities, food, meditation, and aromatherapy. SINCE THE RETREAT, I HAVE NO MORE FIBROMYALGIA PAIN, so if you have chronic conditions relating to trauma, this may be the medicine to try. The accommodation was beautiful. The food was in accordance with the requirements of the ayahuasca diet and there were a variety of options. I went to the retreat looking for freedom from pain, and I came back with so much more – a support group, a family, a toolkit of resources for life, and a newfound perspective. Thank you for making this a special experience. "

"It’s reductive trying to explain my experience through a written review, it’s been the best week of my whole life so far, now I’m awakened and I cannot wait to live my life with my new “self”. Thank to Chandra, Sonia, Alise and Roy. My life is gonna be different, thanks for the turning point opportunity you gave me. I ll never forget you"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so so much to Chandra and her team of facilitators! It was my first time with Ayahuasca and San Pedro and I could not have a better one. I am so glad I found and booked it with Prana Foundation. It was a gift to do it with them. A few things you need to know: do not get hesitant with the different name, Casa Lotus is actually one of the venues but the organisation is called Prana Foundation run by Chandra and her team of facilitators (pranafoundation.org). I did it in Portugal (but they organised it a lot in Spain before) and now in Mexico. Their English is excellent. The retreat offers extra such as San Pedro (with a Shaman from Peru), the Bufo, the frog and massages as well as magnet therapies. The pick-up in central Lisbon was easy. The food was lovely. The villa was beautiful. The group was amazing and I made friendships out of it! Chandra was very professional, knowledgable, caring, supportive and definitely the ONE to go to for a first time or for further Ayahuasca retreats. I will definitely be back! Thank you so much again. Offer yourself a gift for 2023: book a retreat with Prana Foundation!"

" During this ritual the organisation and all the details were perfect. I highly recommend this team. Allow yourself to find the path to healing with great people. I never thought that one day these people would become very important to me. These people have respect, empathy, love, peace, joy of living, real and sincere feelings. A thousand thanks for everything, from heart to heart."

" I was never contacted and sent 3 emails showed up to the place day of. The Lotus sign was there no one was there. No phone number no way to contact other than email they never answered. I spent hundreds of dollars to stay in Lisbon and Uber and did many things to make this happen only to be very disappointed. Response from Casa Lotus - Lotus House: "We are sorry you had this experience. We asked Retreat Guru to return the service fee you paid for booking the retreat. As for the travel expenses, we clearly state that one should not make travel arrangements unless they have a confirmation from us that they can attend the ceremony. Our intake process has several steps, and there has obviously been a communication issue during your booking process. Immediately after finding out about your booking, which was made without our consent for an already full retreat, we sent you an email explaining the situation. We have our email clearly visible on this page, however we did not get any messages from you on our email. We also want to note that the first message we got from you was on Retreat Guru on the day of the ceremony, when it was not possible for us to reply. Our website is also public and we never had an issue before where someone who wanted to reach us - couldn’t. Again, we are indeed sorry for you bad experience, but we want to note that we never received any payment from you, and that had you contacted us before the retreat, this could have been avoided. ""

"One of the best and most important experiences of my life. The retreat completely exceeded all my expectations. There was such a great connection and cohesion throughout the group that was aided by the beautiful surroundings and guidance offered. Such joy and love was experienced and I witnessed significant positive transformations in others and myself. The food was always top notch and yoga sessions led perfectly. If you are contemplating whether to visit then I implore you to go ahead and do it, you will be so thankful that you did. I intend to go back again. Thank you all x"

"This experience I’ve just had was a life changing beautiful one. So glad a decided to do it! Beautiful loving people with a desire to heal people and humanity 🦋💗🙏"

"One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited and the most amazing team, who led me through the strangest, most life transforming experiences of my life. I am very grateful to have come here and met the right people. I believe it has changed my future and the way I approach the world and other people for the better."

"I was treated with such care by Devi and her helpers through one of the strangest and most profound experiences of my life. Devi and her team really know what they are doing and she seems to have devoted her life to this sacred vocation. So I really was in safe hands and with the right people in this, one of the most beautiful locations I have ever visited."

"I didn’t quite know what to expect at the retreat but the entire experience has truly been life affirming. Fatima and Stefan took such good care of us, nourishing mind, body and soul. I’m still trying to digest everything but I would truly recommend going here to everyone. This truly was a magical experience that has taught me so much. "

"Although I had done some research, I really had no idea what to expect. Fátima & Stefan were the perfect guides. Their unique personalities balanced each other very well. Fátima picked us up from the airport and we arrived at a very simple and beautiful home somewhere in the hills. The place was very clean and cozy! It felt like “home” almost instantly. I would recommend FOTV to anyone who is looking to find more meaning and truth about themselves, in a calm and peaceful environment."

"Very friendly atmosphere had a great experience "
