NEW YEAR SACRED PILGRIMAGE OF THE SOUL
Join Our Portugal Retreat:
Psychedelic-Assisted Group Retreat of Birthing an Ancient Future
This Birthing an Ancient Future Psychedelic-Assisted Group Retreat will be a Rite of Passage for the New Year. The choreography of the retreat is designed as a unique and Sacred Pilgrimage of the Soul. Our work, within and outside, will be enhanced through an extraordinary pilgrimage to the Neolithic Sacred Site in Central Portugal. This is the so-called Stonehenge of Portugal and is located close to Evora. The sacred site is a unique elliptical sacred circle which was built on a 7000-year-old east-west axis, where we can assume special sacred rites and fertility rituals. We will connect with our archaic knowledge and wisdom in this unique field.
This December retreat is dedicated to the winter solstice, representing the direction of the north – symbolising wisdom, maturity, and elderhood. Winter means the stage of life when one has accumulated knowledge and experience, and now has the opportunity to share that wisdom with others. It is a time to pass down traditions to future generations. The north holds the masculine element of air and wind and is the seat of the ancestors and wisdom. We honour the air element’s wise presence within the winter solstice celebration of rebirth and renewal.
Psylocybin-Assisted Group Retreat
At the core of the gathering are different unique ceremonies and rituals, working with our intrinsic medicines. You Are The Medicine – supported, guided, and enhanced through many other modalities of medicine; including shamanic vision quest rituals, nature rituals, creativity and artwork, live music, singing and voice, movement and dance, a movement / dance / voice ceremony, an ocean ceremony, a healing bath ceremony, a legal plant medicine ceremony, and a fire ceremony.
The group retreat is held in a sacred circle, drawing upon the shamanic-therapeutic methods of working with expanded states of consciousness, to heal and transform individuals, groups, and planets.
We stay together for five days / four nights in the retreat centre, which allows us to dream further together, during sleep. This technique is used in dream incubation within the Temples of Delphi, along with group work processes during the daytime, and ceremonies.
The plant medicine dosages will be moderate. The organisational team provides professional contacts for the aftermath if further integration is needed. Throughout the retreat, guided integration processes are interwoven, guiding transformation and teaching holistic integration skills – including sharing and weaving individual experiences with collective insights into new understandings of human life, within intimate earth stewardship.
The retreat is led by the visionary founder/director of Birthing an Ancient Future, Dr. Regina U. Hess, NL / PT
