"Kasham is an incredibly intuitive healer. I still haven’t landed yet after my retreat, but have seen so many positive changes so far.
As someone with social anxiety I was hesitant to do a group retreat, but boy am I glad I did. Think I was rid of my social anxiety on the second day and it still hasn’t returned almost a month later.
The attention to detail and execution of all activities shows the amount of preparation that goes into facilitating such a retreat. I felt taken care of throughout the week.
The ceremonies are out of this world (literally) and experiences I will carry with me throughout my life I hope.
Thank you for helping me along my healing journey

Experiences on Retreat
"An incredible experience. Can't recommend the retreat with Kasham enough.
Such a caring and supportive environment.
Lovely location and amazing food!
"
"The ceremony was everything I could of asked for and so much more.
It was life changing and I’m very grateful to Kasham for her guidance and providing such a wonderful experience.
Thank you Kasham for your compassion, kindness, hospitality and healing."
"Kasham and her collaborators love and dedication to offering a unique retreat experience for every individual is inspiring. Intuitive attention to detail for everyone sets the stage for tremendous personal realisations and growth. Through solitary reflection and active interactions and participation in sacred ceremonies, group activities and workshops, powerful connections are formed. Seeing myself through interactions with others on many levels is truly awakening and freeing. I felt a part of a sacred tribe by the closing ceremony and the ripple effect of those powerful, energising, enlightening, transformational connections radiate still as I land on this beautiful landscape my life has become. My love, gratitude and appreciation for the honourable gifts Kasham and our tribe awakened in me cannot be expressed in words. Radiance will have to do."
"What an incredible week, honestly I could not fault a thing! Kasham and Hanna, the setting, the food the support and guidance were all excellent and will never be forgotten. Thank you!"
"A life-changing experience that I highly recommend! From the moment I first spoke to Kasham to enquire about the retreat, I felt immediately cared for and at ease. She truly puts so much time and love into each and every person — before, during, and after the retreat. I really felt like I was in excellent hands, and thus could surrender entirely to the different healing work we did together. I feel like I received many years’ worth of insights in one weekend! I am not the same person I was before this journey. And the intimate group setting has given me friendships for life."
"I had a magical time on this retreat with Kasham, although the magic began before we even arrived. Kasham is a wonderful, intuitive and authentic healer. From our initial consultation to the thought and care throughout the retreat, I can't say enough. It was a brilliant space in which we could be vulnerable, connect and have fun too! The location was wonderful, being in nature only adds to the experience. If you're thinking about booking this, I would say DO IT! I can be skeptical, but he power of healing and transformation that I achieved from this retreat was very special. Thank you Kasham and Douglas! "
"Douglas is a sensitive, caring, and giving soul. I trust him intimately. He is a burgeoning leader and teacher of various mindfulness and wellness techniques. He is a talented musician and artisan: crafting and playing his didgeridoos and flutes beautifully. Most importantly, he is a pure and brilliant human being."
"I felt a strong personal connection to Kasham from the first moment I met her: she gave me a warm, welcoming, and healing embrace and her gaze conveyed her experience, strength, and determination to make our interaction as worthwhile as it could be.
May she continue to stand in her power and to inspire others to do the same."
"I recommend this 4-day retreat for its transformational power, comprehensive approach, and value-for-money.
Retreat leader, Kasham, is organised, wise, caring. Her attention to detail in preparing, facilitating, and helping to integrate my experience into my 'normal' life was impressive. Her assistant, Douglas, is enthusiastic, talented, and authentic. His music, positivity, and sensitivity improved my experience immensely.
From the 1st moments of the retreat, I was taken on a heart-warming and soul-enriching emotional and spiritual journey to a wiser, happier, and more peaceful life. Along the way I met the most amazing fellow travellers, each of whom gave so much of themself to the experience and taught me something special in the process.
Finally, the hosts at Rural Retreats, Cecillia, and Ellis, together with their volunteer, Eimear, made sure that their unique, private venue was in full-working-order and that all our needs were met all weekend. They served the most exquisite vegetarian meals that I have ever had the privilege to enjoy and made us feel at home in their little corner of paradise.
Boa viagem (journey well)."
"Me and my partner had a truly great experience with Kasham.
We felt safe and well informed, highly recommended."
"I had the pleasure and privilege of sharing space with Judit on a retreat in June. This was my first experience with this form of healing touch and the result of just a single session has brought awareness and intuition with my body I didn’t possess before our session. Balancing my physical body will take time, but Judit has enhanced my toolkit for coping with chronic pain.
Words fail to express my thanks and gratitude for all of your healing work over the days of retreat and fellowship. I hope our paths cross again in the future."
"
I have had the privilege and pleasure of participating in two of Kasham’s retreats, most recently in June. Kasham’s inspiring work and that of her collaborators for each retreat, made my experience life changing and strengthened my journey of spiritual growth, enlightenment and consciousness.
Kasham invests time and energy one to one with you before retreat so you arrive ready to immerse yourself in fellowship and a journey of discovery of mind and body. You are supported and cared for every step of the way to allow your focus to stay on your intentions for retreat. Post retreat there is more loving support to ensure you settle gently back on your path.
Words fail to fully express my gratitude to Kasham, her fellow collaborators, and the tribe behind the scenes who ensure you are nourished mind, body and soul during your retreat.
I look forward to another retreat and adventure of self discovery with Kasham soon. "
"It was a great weekend. Kacham is extremely professional, a warm person, and has great humour. I don't easily feel safe in a group, but during this weekend that went quite well. i was able to go on a beautiful journey, although exciting, but the guidance is so loving that it was very nice"
"Judith is a super wise woman, with whom I immediately felt safe. she is professional, offers safety and needs few words to understand and guide you well."
"Kasham has that perfect mix of perception, intuition, expertise and experience. She pours a lot of effort and sacred devotion into her work which enables her to hold a space that is transformative and I trusted her fully with my surrender into the process. Truly, truly grateful 🙏"
"the retreate was perfect! nice variety of workshops and activities. it brought me a lot in my development. very safe, reliable and i would recommend it to anyone. Kacham and Judith did the guidance extremely professionally, and personally but also with a lot of humour. Wonderful people!"
"We came to this retreat as a couple. We both felt really supported and well guided. The process was very clear, very professional and very considerate. We were impressed by the degree of attention to detail and how comprehensive the retreat was. It was a full and complete experience, including the preparation before the actual retreat as well as the follow up session Kasham provides. The vegetarian food was delicious and nutritious complementing the quality of the retreat. The programme was varied, thoughtful and beautifully considered. Kasham, together with Douglas, provided a safe and loving environment in which we could go deep and also connect in a really positive way with other retreat participants. The exercises in the retreat were very conducive to opening up and self exploration. A really great vibe was created and we felt fantastic by the end of the retreat. We will fondly remember this retreat. What we have learned is still being processed. We felt the level of Kasham’s expertise and wisdom strongly. To add to this, Douglas was joyous and liberating with his amazing musical talents as well as his inspiring attitude to life. We thoroughly recommend this retreat to those wanting to go to a new level of self exploration and personal growth."
"one place has an incredible view, ideal for us to connect with our inner self. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a once-in-a-lifetime, transformative experience.
was incredibly well received, and during my session I always felt safe and comfortable.
It is truly a unique and life changing experience."
"What a beautiful experience to have had the pleasure to experience. From the breath taking location to the lushes food. Kasham and Douglas create a really life changing experience where one can really let go of all distractions and really find all that one is seeking. Kasham is a beautiful soul who is so real and authentic where her presence places you at ease. Her ability to hold space and create a safe environment allows for one to really feel comfortable in which can be a very uncomfortable experience at times. Her guidance and wisdom in shamanic healing really opens and prepares ones self to the medicine. Douglas is such a talented musician who's warm joyful soul really brings life to a space, his talents on the digeridoo is something words would not do justice in describing and it really was a pleasure to experience. Thank you so much "
"Kasham has a deep knowledge and wisdom of shamanic and healing practices and uses her knowledge to assist you in navigating your own complex healing process. The experience of working with Kasham surpassed my expectations and more. Kasham and the location provide a calm and safe setting I would definitely recommend. "
"Life changing and profound experience, expertly handled! Highly recommended for those prepared to do the personal work for serious transformation. "
"
Everything about the retreat was perfect - location, facilities, programme, activities, but most of all Kasham's guidance and facilitation. I have never seen anything quite like it before.
Douglas's contribution was also first rate, whether supporting Kasham, running movement and music sessions or generally being there for everybody.
My grateful thanks to them both."
"Douglas was a very positive addition to the retreat activities organised by Kasham in May 2023. He offers joyful support, valuable knowledge on body movement, good positivity and affirmations. His skills with ceremonial instruments is truly laudable. Thank you Douglas!"
"The transformation retreat organised by Kasham in May 2023 was simply wonderful. The level of personalised care, professionalism and human touch were just perfect, flowing with a well-designed and expertly executed program. Thank you Kasham for the abundantly given love and kindness and for offering this opportunity for growth.
Highly recommended!"
"I participated to a 7-day transformation retreat with Kasham at the Rural escapes in Portugal. I feel so lucky and happy I got to share this experience with Kasham, Douglas (music) and 8 people on their healing journey. Kasham is warm and caring, and she was there to support me when I needed her ❤️"
"Thank you Kasham, Hanna and Duggie for this magical experience. I have never felt safer and more protected by the love, kindness and wisdom of your beautiful spirits. For someone like me, who is locked in her own world and has difficulty meeting new people, the group retreat was a truly humbling and inspiring experience. It really made me realize that we all struggle, we are all lost at times, but we are all special and beautiful, and we don't have to be alone on this journey called life, and with the guidance of Kasham, truly shamanic energy, we can find balance. It was beautiful to lose the illusion of control and let whatever came to me because once I accepted that it's not about what I want, but what I need, I found a peaceful place in my heart, my home.
I am incredibly grateful to the universe for the opportunity to make this journey and meet these wonderful souls. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart to Kasham for sharing your wisdom with us and connecting us to medicine; Hanna for your loving kindness and your hand-pocked tattoo; Duggie for your freedom, your childlike innocence and your healing music. Forever grateful 💖💖💖

"I had a really beautiful time at the three-day retreat I attended. It is important to note, it is not only the ceremony that is a wonderful experience but the entire retreat which Kasham fills with incredibly thought out group workshops, periods for self-reflection and delicious food. All these activities made me feel so connected to myself and those around me (we all felt like we had known each other forever!). Not to mention the location (in the mountains of Faro) was amazing. Kasham is unadulteratedly herself, which is inspiring to be around and seems to really cares about what she does. If anyone is on the fence about this and has the resources, I would encourage them to do some research and speak to the lovely Kasham to see if it is right for them!"
"Two words: love and warmheartedness. (Is this a word?). You feel so safe and secure in the presence of Kasham. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of yet another step up the “mountain” 🙏🏻❤️"
"I am very glad to have met Kasham and extremely grateful for the journey upon which we went together. Her knowledge is an immense resource, but so is her spirit. Both combined are a very powerful tool for healing."
