Santa Barbara de Nexe, (Faro) Portugal
You’ve been on a healing journey and you’re asking yourself:
If you don’t heal your wounds and traumas, you continue repeating the same patterns over and over again. Then you find yourself dealing with the same character types, with different names and faces.
When your everyday life is full of distractions, pressures, anxieties or stress, you aren’t able to be present and focus on what really matters: the here and now, authentic connection and peace.
When you lack clarity of purpose, you feel lost in life, without a path to walk towards.
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 finds it difficult to meet new people, having a 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 unique 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 a beautiful thing to lose the illusion of control and let whatever came to me because once I accepted that it wasn’t about what I wanted, but what I needed, I found a peaceful place in my heart, my home.

“The first most beautiful, meaningful cathartic spiritual experience that I have experienced. The ceremony was conducted in a such loving, comfortable manner surrounded by nature and lovely people, meditation with soundbath. Personally Kasham was like a mother to me during the ceremony, I felt protected and loved no matter what. Kasham organises and plans out the days of the retreat in a way that nothing is rushed and all flows naturally.
I’m looking forward for another retreat meditation with her and for more healing to happen in her presence. I highly recommend.”

I reach into the depths, using my strong intuition to create a safe space for personal transformation. I’ve been initiated in Peru as a Curandera (Healer), serving medicine as a sacred form of healing.
I knew since I was a young child that I wanted to help others. I have been an Intuitive since childhood. The first career aspiration I had was to be “an ambulance driver.” (I graduated from paramedic school in 1998.) During my life, I can see how each career choice, each experience, each teaching moment, has supported doing this work. Although I’ve been helping others heal since the mid ’90s, the medicine path was never on her radar. The medicines themselves chose and taught me. Once I accepted this path, trusted/experienced teachers and mentors showed up to help guide me and confirm best practices. I grew up in the US, but have lived in Haiti, South Korea and now Portugal, sharing my gifts in these countries, as well as multiple other countries for short term trips. As I live and travel abroad, I continue to improve my language skills and, more importantly, integrate diverse cultures into my life.
In 2013, I completed the Advanced Angel Tarot Card Reader course from HayHouse Publications. I’m a member of the International Healers Association, and I am an Internationally Accredited Shamanic Practitioner.
I am able to communicate in English, Haitian Creole, and am conversational in French, Spanish, and basic Korean.
We provide 1 facilitator for every 4 participants. Because we always have small groups (6-8 max), we typically have 2-3 facilitators. All facilitators are very experienced with the medicine as well as with holding space.
For this retreat, if a 3rd guide is needed, it will be announced here.
Each day is set (and adjusted) with the dynamic/needs of the group. We have a daily schedule and will adhere to it as closely as possible, again, being flexible to the needs and dynamic of the group. In general, the first day we will arrive, get to know one another, and begin the work with the first sacred circle that evening. Most days will include:
Body Movement
Meals in accordance to the day’s ceremony
Medicine Ceremony
Workshop(s)
Rest/relaxation
Integration

Yes. But of course there can be critical circumstances that need to be checked first. We carefully screen the health condition and medications of our guests to ensure that we can safely provide Psilocybin. Additionally we only work with highly trained and experienced facilitators and guides. All facilitators during the ceremonies are very experienced with the medicine and are able to create a safe space of support for all guests equally. Psilocybin is generally very safe when working with it responsibly.
Psilocybin is cautioned or strongly advised against under these special circumstances:
The experience of Psilocybin can be affected negatively under these circumstances:
