The journey

Imagine stepping through a portal…

Where your senses are activated.

Where you feel deeply connected to your surroundings, humans and nature.

Where you feel safe to soften in your deep feminine.

Free to explore who you are, and who you are becoming.

Your body nourished. Your mind quieted. Knowing you are fully taken care of.

This is Portals.

A seven-day women's Ayahuasca retreat, held with reverence and care, for women ready to activate their power within.

Come as you are. Feel the world's weight fall away.

Leave with renewed energy, wisdom, and trust in what's next.

Step through the Portal
and hear your soul's true calling.

Sound familiar?

You've built a good life.
And something in you is ready for the next one.

You appreciate what you've built. And you sense there's a next chapter waiting, one that's more aligned, more alive, more you.

You've always put everyone else first. This time, it's your turn.

This retreat is for the woman ready to expand.

This is for you if…

  • You sense you've outgrown a chapter, and you're ready for what's next, even if you don't fully see it yet.
  • You feel a quiet stuckness, not unhappy, but not fully alive either. Like something is missing you can't quite name.
  • You miss the version of yourself who was full of passion, creativity, and play, and you want her back, in a more grown-up way.
  • You've read the books, done the meditations, kept the journals, and you're ready for something more immersive, more embodied.
  • You want space to actually sit with yourself, away from the constant noise, notifications, and pull to be productive.
  • You crave a circle of women who see you, and a space where you don't have to hold it all together for a change.

Clarity doesn’t come from seeking more “how to’s”
It comes from creating space for what’s already within you to emerge.

Nourishing food

Healthy, nourishing meals are prepared intentionally throughout the entire retreat, so your body is well taken care of. Vegan, gluten-free & dairy-free options available.

A snack & tea bar is open at all times.

Preparation & integration

Peace of mind, before and after.

Before you arrive: a one-hour preparation call walks you through what to expect, how to prepare, what to pack, and how to set your intentions.

After ceremony: we start the next morning in complete silence, then guide you through somatic integration, so your experience and work have space to land.

After the retreat: one post-retreat integration call, because the real work happens when you return home. This is where the changes take root.

"The transformational healing at Portals Retreat allowed me to move into this new phase of my life."— Debbie L.

FAQs

Yes! Many of the women who joined us have never sat with Ayahuasca before. We will go through a safety assessment initially to ensure you have no contraindications. You will also receive a preparation guide with everything you need for your journey. Our facilitator has also guided over 400+ ceremonies so whether it's your 1st time or 15th time, you are in safe & experienced hands.

Feeling nervous is normal, that's what we're here for. Join the waitlist and book a call to speak with us! (Shannon and Debbie)

Yes! We have a Whatsapp group for the women who join each year. Many have become close friends, stayed in touch, and met up with each other in different cities again.

Our circles are intentionally small, so you have personalized care and deeper bonds with one another. You are never pressured into anything you don't feel like participating in. We have exercises and agreements in place so everyone feels supported and seen.

The safety assessment is how we make sure you're fit to do the work with the medicine. We review any medication contraindications together. Some conditions aren't recommended, including antidepressants (such as SSRIs or MAOIs) or antipsychotic medications, psychiatric conditions or family histories of certain mental health disorders, surgery within the past three months, heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, epilepsy, active addiction, or pregnancy. If any of these apply to you, participation may still be possible, so the best thing to do is message us and we'll talk it through.

Yes. We offer flexible payment options to make this transformational experience accessible. Waitlist women hear about pricing first.

The truth is, there's never a "perfect" time to prioritize yourself. But if you've read this far, something inside you is already telling you it's time to make a change. Trust that voice.

Stepping into the mystery…

Is not always easy

Or accepted

Or even better understood

But the call of the soul

Of a deep knowing

The reminder of a tender flame

Inside of your heart

Can ignite

With one breath

Bringing you home

To your life's true purpose

Whole and free

Step through the portal

Take that leap

Remember who you truly are
