— Laura Hodge

Immerse yourself…

Our psychedelic retreats are rooted in deep ecology + transpersonal psychology to cultivate healing, connection, awe and creativity.

This is a process of emerging, surrendering and remembering, where your true essence is enlivened and nourished.

Whether there is a yearning inside you for more than what has been prescribed, a curiosity edging you closer to the mystery, patterns mulching your authenticity, or whether you simply long to sit in circle with real reciprocal community, then you have arrived.

Welcome.

Here is an outline of our comprehensive programme:

Our programme

Our home for the week…

Nestled in a beautiful woodland valley, only half an hour from Lisbon and fifteen minutes from Ericeira beach, The Shanti Space is a nourishing family-run sanctuary for retreats, to rest and restore well-being whilst bathed in the loving embrace of nature.

Inspired by self-reliance, The Shanti Space family wish to live more sustainably, eating from garden to plate and using natural energy resources. Here is a place to feel balanced in a nourishing environment supportive for freedom and growth.

“When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things”

— Wendell Berry

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”

— Clarissa Pinkola Estés
