Retreat Shamanism: Awaken the Spirit 2026, September 25 – 27

Quinta São José dos Montes – Tomar

In 2026 we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, which invites us to live with intensity, passion, and courage. It is a time of movement, independence, and transformation. In this retreat, we will immerse ourselves in ancestral and shamanic practices to awaken our inner power and learn how to channel the energy of fire without being burned by excessive haste. The Fire Horse is therefore the great inspiration for this 2026 Shamanism retreat.

During these two days, participants will experience shamanic ceremonies that foster a deep connection with the four elements, movement and release practices inspired by the spirit of the Horse, and ancestral shamanic rituals such as Shamanic Journey Drumming, Trance Dance Ritual, Earth Womb Ceremony, Cacao Ceremony, among other rituals and ceremonies that invite consciousness to take flight in search of new horizons, new achievements, a renewed sense of self, and a new way of living.

This new way of life is inspired by the wisdom found in the leaves, the movement of the winds, the transformative power of fire, the guidance of ancestral spirits, the journey of the soul, and one’s life purpose.

One of the main intentions of this retreat is to empower each participant to continue exploring and practicing these shamanic experiences, either individually or within a group, long after the retreat has ended.
Anyone can have access to these ancient techniques, using the sound of the drum to transport us into the shamanic journey. We are going to experience different states of consciousness, beyond time and space, and trough them we can obtain information, answers and healing to our ordinary state.
What we experienced during this shamanic journeys cannot be classified as right or wrong and only each of us can integrate and interpret properly what happened.

There will be some other surprises during the weekend!
This retreat has as main goals:
Connection with the Inner Wisdom
Connection with the Nature Outside
Connection with the Multidimensionality of the Human Being
Accessing to the Shamanic State of Consciousness
Accessing to the Local and the Animal Power
