SOMATIC MEDICINE
AN IMMERSIVE RETREAT INTO THE SOMA & PSILOCYBIN FOR WOMEN
October 8-12 2026 Portugal
The somatic psychedelic retreat
SOMATIC MEDICINE IS…
A space to return to yourself
a space to be held
A space to connect
Join an intimate group of women and be held through a 5 day experience of deep inner healing supported with rest, connection and celebration!
This is a Somatic Retreat with a difference.
You will be journeying deeply with psilocybin and using your relationship with your soma (body) and your nervous system to guide you more deeply and safely into your psychedelic journey.
This is a Psilocybin Retreat with a difference.
We will be using somatic tools and techniques to support your psychedelic journey. You will learn and understand your own nervous system which is unique to you. You will learn and understand the nuances of the psychedelic journey for the female body.
Maybe you have been looking for healing, transformation, more connection, more space or simply a break…
To remember how good it feels to move your body
To remember those things that make you feel free and alive
This is for the women with open minds and curious hearts — ready to reclaim their inner wisdom.
This is for the women who desire to come back to their unique wholeness and remember who they truly are.
This is for all women who want to deepen their relationship to themselves using the support of plant medicine teachers and somatic practices
