6-Day Deep Dive
Loural Eco Village
A Forested Sanctuary in Portugal
After the past few years of leading longer immersions and container experiences, we’ve consistently heard a clear message. It is time to offer these extended journeys more frequently, as we recognize the meaningful benefits that arise from spending dedicated time in community and in communion with plant teachers.
We have come to appreciate the depth of transformation possible when we can spend focused, intentional time with each participant. Whether you are experienced with the medicine, seeking to deepen your healing, or a newcomer wanting a gentler and more gradual introduction, this longer container offers the opportunity to go deeper wherever you find yourself on the path.
A six-day journey provides ample space.
Space to connect more fully with yourself, with the medicine, and with the collective process of unfolding and discovery.
Our work is constantly evolving, and life has guided us into a new chapter. Portugal has become the place where this next phase will take root. A land that feels aligned with the pace, depth, and sincerity of the work we are called to offer. This valley in Central Portugal will be our home for now, allowing us to hold these longer containers more regularly and with the continuity they deserve.
Recommended for those:
Looking for inspiration and clarity
Looking for a deep and profound healing in life.
Who don’t know where their life is heading.
Simply looking to go deeper with oneself.
Who are at a crossroads in life.
We are dedicated to our own practices, years of experience, and ongoing study. Our team is here to provide steady support and guidance throughout your journey, holding a safe and intentional container that allows you to step into your full potential. Everything we offer during this immersion is designed to help you go deeper, with clarity and purpose.
This gathering is intentionally small, with space for only 12 participants, allowing us to offer each person the attention they need. The ceremonies will be guided with music, silence, and personal support when needed. Dennis and the team bring a wealth of experience and presence to help you navigate the transformative states this work can open.
To nourish and support the ceremonial process, we will provide organic, delicious, vegetarian meals, thoughtfully prepared by a chef, who will be with us throughout the retreat. Each meal is designed to harmonise with the work, offering nourishment that complements the depth of the journey.
During the days between ceremonies, there will be time for movement, meditation, reflection, and sharing circles to support integration. Every aspect of the immersion is crafted to invite self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.

*PLEASE NOTE* These gatherings include 4 healing circles: two during the night and two during the day. We aim to bring the Tuesday and Wednesday night circles to a close around 2 / 3am. As such, if you require a certain amount of sleep or rest and are travelling in to join us, we highly recommend arriving in Los Angeles on Monday the 3rd and staying somewhere locally, or even come and stay at the Pyramid that night, so that you can arrive at the gathering well rested. As a team we will do everything in our power to ensure your comfort, however, it is integral that you communicate any needs you have which may affect your ability to fully participate in the ceremonies. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Day 1 – Arrival and Opening Ceremony
Upon arrival, you’ll have time to settle in and meet the group during the afternoon. A 1:1 intake conversation with a team member will help set the tone for your journey. We will gather in our first circle to share intentions and enter into the first evening ceremony together.
Day 2 – Rest and Reflection
The morning will include gentle movement and breathing exercises, followed by a spacious day to relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and reflect. In the evening, we come together for our second night of deep healing in ceremony.
Day 3 – Integration and Movement
A day dedicated to grounding practices, with time for movement, rest, and integration. This space allows your process to unfold with care and attention.
Day 4 – Afternoon Ceremony
The day begins with a nourishing breakfast and movement session. After a relaxed brunch, we gather in the afternoon for our third ceremony.
Day 5 – Ceremony and Exploration
A balance of rest, movement, and exploration leads into the fourth ceremony, held in the late afternoon. This day deepens the work, offering a space for both personal insight and group connection.
Day 6 – Closing and Departure
On the final day, we come together to celebrate the shared journey. A final circle of movement, expression, and sharing will help integrate the experience before we transition back into daily life. Departure follows after the closing lunch.
You will have the option to arrive Monday evening, November 3rd, and to leave Monday morning, November 10th!
Accommodations:
For this gathering, we will be in our beloved Pyramid in Malibu. The team will be sleeping in the guest house just next the Pyramid on the same land, which allows us to open the third bedroom inside the Pyramid for participants. This creates a more spacious and comfortable environment for everyone during the immersion. The rooms will be shared.
Your place in the gathering includes:
Two group calls before the gathering to assist you in the preparation
6 days of deep healing
Accommodation
Welcome Circle
Four Sacred Ceremonies (2 nights, 2 days)
Daily sharing and integration circles
Throughout the retreat, all meals will be organic, vegetarian, and freshly prepared by our dedicated chef.

The food itself becomes part of the journey, creating balance and grounding during the week.
Gentle movement and breathwork
Music and sound healing
Two group calls after the deep-dive to assist in your integration
As part of this offering, we commit to planting one vine in the Yawanawá territory for each participant
