THE PORTAL RETREAT
REMEMBER WHO YOU CAME HERE TO BE
Awakening Your Truest Essence on The Healing Island of Pico
There is nothing to chase. Nothing to force.
Everything you seek, you already are—it’s just a matter of remembering.
Not just in your mind, but in your body. In your emotions. In your soul.
This retreat is a return—to your natural rhythm, your creative power, and the deep knowing that you are already in co-creation with life itself. You’ve always been, but now, you remember.

🔥 From seeking to knowing
You stop searching outside yourself and trust the power already within you.
🌊 From force to flow
You surrender to nature’s cycles and let life unfold in perfect harmony.
☀️ From disconnection to full embodiment
You feel your presence in every breath, step, and moment.
A Day Inside The Portal
🌞 8:30-9:15 Cosmic or Shamanic Meditation
As the sun rises over the volcanic peaks of Pico, you settle into stillness. A soft ocean breeze carries the scent of salt and wildflowers, wrapping around you like a sacred embrace. The rhythmic sound of waves in the distance blends with the ethereal music guiding you deeper. With each breath, you feel your awareness expand, dissolving into the cosmic web of creation.
🔥 9:30 -10:30 Vinyasa / Kundalini Yoga
The morning light bathes the space in gold as you flow through dynamic movements, awakening energy along your spine. The warmth of your breath fuels each posture, your body stretching open like the island’s blossoming flora. A gentle heat rises in your core, igniting a sense of power, clarity, and deep presence.
🍊 10:30 -11:30 Typical Island Breakfast
A nourishing spread awaits—locally sourced fruits bursting with sun-ripened sweetness, warm herbal tea infused with healing island herbs, and fresh-baked, gluten-free bread with a drizzle of raw honey. Each bite feels like a communion with the land, grounding you in nourishment and pleasure.
🌿 11:30-15:00 Free Time: Massage, Private Sessions, Hiking, Swimming, Biking, Sunbathing, Journaling
The midday hours stretch wide open like the horizon before you. Whether you sink into a deep-release massage, let the Atlantic waters cleanse your spirit, or find solitude in the forested trails, you feel time slow down. Under the warm sun, journal in the soft grass, your thoughts flowing like the island’s underground streams, bringing hidden wisdom to the surface.
🥗 15:00-16:00 Lunch
A vibrant, nourishing meal prepared with love—freshly picked greens, sun-dried tomatoes, warming grains, and protein-rich plant-based dishes. As you eat, a sense of gratitude fills your body, each bite replenishing you with nature’s purest gifts.
💦 16:00-18:30 Waterfall Hike & Water Ritual
Barefoot on the rich volcanic earth, you follow the trail through lush greenery, the air thick with the scent of moss and citrus trees. The distant rush of cascading water calls you forward. Arriving at the falls, the cool mist tingles on your skin as you step into the pool beneath, letting the pure mountain water cleanse and awaken every cell. The ritual begins—each droplet a baptism, a remembrance, a return to your true essence.
🌙 18:30-19:30 Rest & Prepare for Ceremony
Wrapped in soft linens, you unwind. Maybe you stretch in candlelight, sip herbal tea, or simply breathe in the night air, preparing to step into the sacred ceremony space. A hush settles over the retreat, the energy shifting as the moon rises.
🍫 19:30 -22:30 Cacao + Full Moon Ceremony (Optional Truffles)
You hold the warm cup of ceremonial cacao in your hands, feeling its rich aroma open your heart. As the fire flickers, sacred chants ripple through the air, weaving an ancient language of remembrance. Under the glow of the full moon, a portal opens. Whether in deep stillness or ecstatic movement, you surrender to the wisdom of the moment—your body, emotions, and soul fully alive.
🌙 22:30-23:30 Late Light Dinner + Bed
A gentle, grounding meal of nourishing broths, warming grains, and herbal infusions prepares your body for rest. The day lingers on your skin like a soft imprint, a quiet reminder of all you’ve felt, seen, and remembered. Wrapped in the deep stillness of the island, you drift into sleep, carried by the whispers of the ocean and the pulse of the earth beneath you.
