Hear From Our Past Participants
The transformational healing at Portals Retreat allowed me to move into this new phase of my life.
"FOREVER in gratitude for Debbie & Shannon. Everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Everything that happens at Portal Retreats goes out into the world and heals."
— Debby L.
The most magical safe experience.
"If you want to help heal this planet, this space + people will provide the most magical safe experience."
— Iryna
I am ready for the next step in my career.
"I feel cleansed mentally and physically. I learned valuable things from all of these women that I will always carry with me. I learned valuable things about myself and feel like I am ready for the next step in my career. I also have better tools for taking care of myself physically & mentally."
— Tanya
This is one of the best things I have ever done.
"This retreat came at the perfect time for me. I only hesitated for maybe a minute before committing and I understand why I was drawn to it. I have had life changing, extraordinary experiences here - some of the coolest in my life.
Shannon, Debbie, Yana, Charlotte (and all of the staff) are so loving, knowledgeable, and good at what they do.
This is one of the best things I have ever done."
— Julie
If you're looking for a profound experience go to this retreat.
"A retreat that helps you reconnect with yourself on a spiritual level. A step above a Yoga retreat! If you're looking for a profound experience, go to this retreat. Remove all expectations, fear and just go!"
— Jenny
Shannon and Debbie shaped the retreat with vision, heart and consideration.
"I experienced a powerful amplification in my personal transformation during the Portals Retreat. Shannon and Debbie shaped the retreat with vision, heart and consideration. Each activity offered its own medicine. The food, yoga and accommodation were exceptional. I would encourage anyone on a spiritual journey to engage with the magic and beauty of Balam-Ha."

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
