Psilocybin Mushroom Retreats in Portugal

For Leaders, Executives, And Entrepreneurs.

The Clarity Retreat is a five-day psychedelic retreat in Portugal, built around two psilocybin ceremonies. It supports you in finding purpose and inner peace through therapeutic preparation, coaching, shamanic and time-honoured practices.

A word on legality. Psychedelics are not legal in Portugal, and I don't supply them. What is legal here is for you to bring your own medicine and for me to hold the process around it: the preparation, the ceremony, and the integration afterwards. That is exactly what this work is, and I'd rather you knew it before you read further.

The plateau isn't a strategy problem

You've optimised everything and it's still not moving. In my experience the ceiling is rarely in the business. It's in the man running it: capacity consumed by stress, old patterns and unfinished emotional business before it ever reaches the work.

Before we ever speak, take two minutes to see what is taking up your capacity. Thirteen honest questions. Your results in your inbox.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a psilocybin mushroom retreat?
Arrow

A psilocybin mushroom retreat is a guided experience where participants use psilocybin mushrooms in a safe and supportive environment to explore their inner selves, gain insights, and promote personal growth.

Who is this psilocybin mushroom retreat for?
Arrow

This retreat is designed for leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs seeking clarity, purpose, and inner peace. It’s ideal for those ready to break through limiting patterns and beliefs to live a more fulfilling life.

Who are psilocybin mushrooms not for?
Arrow

Psilocybin mushrooms are generally not recommended for individuals who:

  • Are taking tricyclic antidepressants, Lithium, or MAOIs
  • Have a history of psychosis, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or any personality disorder

(e.g., borderline, narcissistic, anti-social)

Please be honest in your application so we can make an informed decision about whether our services are right for you.

Are psilocybin mushrooms safe?
Arrow

For most healthy adults, psilocybin carries low physical risk. The real risks are psychological, and they depend on who you are, your health and medication, and how well you are prepared and held. That is why every person is screened, some people are told no, and preparation and integration are part of the retreat, not extras.

Can psilocybin mushrooms make me go mad?
Arrow

For people without a personal or family history of psychosis or bipolar disorder, this is very rare. That history is exactly what screening looks for, and it is why we say no to some applicants. A journey can be intense and frightening at times. Being well prepared and well held makes a large difference to how you move through it.

What if I have a “bad trip”? Will it persist?
Arrow

Difficult moments are a normal part of deep work, and often where the most important material is. Preparation, a safe setting and experienced guidance make them far easier to move through, and integration afterwards helps you make sense of them. If something stays with you after the retreat, we work with it together.

Image
What dose of psilocybin mushrooms will we be taking?
Arrow

How much of your own medicine you take is decided with you during preparation, based on your health, your experience and your intention. Most people choose a moderate dose. We never encourage anyone to go beyond what is right for them.

What is the time commitment for the Clarity Retreats 7-week self-discovery programme?
Arrow

The programme can be managed alongside a busy life. Before the retreat, you will have two 1.5-hour online preparation sessions. Then, you will attend the 5-day high-end retreat. After the retreat, there will be four 1.5-hour group integration coaching sessions. Besides these sessions, we recommend prioritising more time for resting and recovering. You’ll likely discover that you’ll be able to accomplish more with less effort. Rest and recovery are vital for integrating your insights and ensuring lasting transformation.

Arrow
Do I have to follow a strict diet?

No, mushrooms are very gentle and do not require a strict diet for the inner journey. However, For you to be as ready as possible. We recommend that for five days before the retreat, you heavily reduce the following:

  • Any stimulant

    • Caffeine (coffee, non-herbal teas, energy drinks, etc.)
    • Nicotine
  • Some animal-based foods (red meat, pork etc.)

  • Fast food, sugar, sweets, fried food, or other unhealthy/ highly processed foods.
    And eliminate the following:

    • Alcohol, recreational drugs, fried food, pork, red meat, sugar
    • Psychedelics and Empathogens (LSD, MDMA, etc.)
    • Entheogens (Marijuana, psilocybin, San Pedro, etc.)
  • Supplements like 5-HTP, St. John’s Wort, or any other pharmaceuticals or supplements that may affect serotonergic function.

  • Pornography, social media, frightening or violent news and media - a few days before the ceremony, if possible. 

*** Whatever you put into your consciousness may show up in your journey experience.

What should I expect during the retreat?
Arrow

Expect a combination of activities, including yoga, breathwork, nature walks, psilocybin mushroom ceremonies, and integration sessions designed to support your journey of self-discovery and transformation.

How do I prepare for the retreat?
Arrow

Preparation includes private one-on-one sessions, a personalised plan, and practical guidance to ensure you are ready for the experience. Specific instructions will be provided upon acceptance into the programme.

What happens after the retreat?
Arrow

After the retreat, you will have private and group integration sessions to help you process your experiences and incorporate the insights

Are psilocybin mushrooms the same as magic mushrooms?
Arrow

Yes, magic mushrooms are a common name for psilocybin mushrooms. Other names include Psilocybe cubensis, shrooms, mushies, blue meanies, golden tops, liberty caps, sacred mushrooms, niños santos, and flesh of the Gods.
