AWAKEN WITH US RETREAT
MADEIRA ISLAND, PORTUGAL
OCTOBER - 8th-12th 2026
Imagine waking up in a beautiful villa overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by lush green mountains and the sweet scent of flowers carried on the breeze. For five days, you’ll be guided on a deeply transformative experience of healing, awakening, and remembrance.
This retreat blends the ancient wisdom of Kundalini Activation with the sacred power of mushroom medicine, supported by movement, sound, ritual, and community connection. It is designed to help you release what no longer serves, step into your truth, and realign with your soul’s highest purpose.
Get ready to transform your life
ABOUT THIS RETREAT
On this retreat, we go beyond surface-level relaxation and dive into the depth of true transformation.
You will be invited into a sanctuary of healing where every practice, every moment, is designed to nourish your whole being. From energy activations to plant medicine, from movement to stillness, from laughter to release — you will move through layers of yourself with compassion and support.
This retreat is an opportunity to:
Reconnect deeply with your essence and remember who you truly are
Release stored trauma and emotional blockages in a safe and loving environment
Awaken and balance your life-force energy through Kundalini Transmission
Journey into expanded states of consciousness with sacred psilocybin mushrooms
Embody freedom and vitality through yoga, dance, and movement medicine
Feel held in community by like-minded souls on their own healing journeys
It is more than a retreat — it is a rebirth into your power, presence, and truth.
Meet your guides
Carolina- Somatic Therapy Practitioner
I’m Carolina, and my path has been one of deep healing and remembrance. Having moved through depression, PTSD, and moments of profound disconnection, I know what it feels like to lose yourself — and I also know the power of finding your way back home.
Over a decade of exploring healing modalities and connecting with mentors across the world has led me to the work I now embody. My approach blends somatic therapy, Kundalini energy work, and a deep understanding of neuroscience and nervous system regulation, allowing for a grounded and integrative path to transformation. Four years ago, my own Kundalini awakening shifted everything, and since then, I’ve devoted myself to supporting others in breaking free from old patterns, restoring safety within the body, and reconnecting with their true essence.
At this retreat, I will guide you through somatic therapy sessions and Kundalini Transmission experiences, designed to support the release of stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and activate your life-force energy. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed approach, creating a safe and nurturing space where your transformation can unfold with trust, integrity, and care.
My intention is to hold you as you soften, awaken, and remember who you truly are.
Andrea – Consciousness Guide & Facilitator
Born in India and now living on the magical island of Madeira, I have been working with expanded states of consciousness for over 20 years. My passion is to share the incredible gift of plant medicine with those who feel called, supporting people to awaken, expand, and heal at the deepest levels.
I see these medicines as allies, teachers that reconnect us with the Earth, with Source, and with our own inner wisdom. When approached with reverence and intention, they open a door to profound healing and expanded states of consciousness.
During the retreat, I will lovingly guide you through a plant medicine ceremony, tailoring the experience to your unique needs and supporting you before, during, and after the journey. With the added power of sound healing and integration support, you will be safely held through every step of this sacred process.
This is a unique and integrative healing practice that blends somatic therapy with Kundalini energy work, inviting you into a space where nothing is forced — only felt. You are not required to do anything other than soften, surrender, and remain open to receive.
During the session, you will be lying down on a yoga mat as your body is gently guided through a process of nervous system regulation, while your life-force energy is activated and supported to flow naturally.
These group sessions are designed to support your healing, embodiment, and expansion of consciousness. Each session builds upon the last, allowing your body to feel safer, your energy channels to open, and your capacity to hold more life-force to increase. You may feel called to return after integration, as your system continues to unfold and deepen.
As the body begins to feel safe, it may naturally start to release stored tension, suppressed emotions, and unresolved experiences. This is a somatic process, guided by your body’s innate intelligence, allowing deep healing to occur without force.
Through this work, you are supporting healing across the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic layers, while reconnecting to your intuition and authentic expression. It is an invitation to come back into your body, awaken your energy, and embody more of who you truly are in your everyday life.

"I think about you a lot, and all I learnt from you, and from the retreat.
I've reached places of such deep introspection since then, and in the past couple of years especially, and I've allowed myself to sit in solitude – which used to be my biggest fear.
Yet each time I've met myself there, a reminder of you or your teachings seems to show up at exactly the moment I needed it.
I'm someone who reflects and processes deeply... but also slowly, as I've learnt to balance my impulsive nature with logic, while still letting intuition take the lead. And I wanted to share this with you from my most authentic space.
What I've realised is that the retreat – in all of its wild, unfiltered, deeply intuitive energy, became one of the most transformational experiences I've had."
