The Journey
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.
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 expand
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.
This is more than a retreat. It’s a homecoming to your truest self.A look into previous journeys
More moments from past journeys.
Sound familiar?
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…
Clarity doesn’t come from seeking more “how to’s”
It comes from creating space for what’s already within you to emerge.

What’s different
Portals is designed as a full program, not just a ceremony. Our intention is for this to not just be an experience but something you carry home that changes how you live your day-to-day life.
12 women max., so you receive personalized care in a safe container and get to bond deeper with others.
Our facilitator has held space for 400+ ceremonies with live medicine music. Whether it's your first time or 10th time sitting with the medicine, you are welcomed and in safe hands.
Sound, somatic and movement work, art therapy, music and creativity, are weaved in together with the wisdom of plant medicine for you to experience somatic transformation.
A preparation call, a preparation guide, and a post-retreat integration call are included so you feel prepared and have peace of mind for your journey.
Nature immersion in the jungle without sacrificing comfort.
Shannon and Debbie are directly reachable with questions.

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 group post-retreat integration call to keep each other accountable after returning home. This is where real work happens and where the changes take root.

The transformational healing at Portals Retreat allowed me to move into this new phase of my life.— Debbie L.
Yes! Many of the women who join us have never sat with Ayahuasca before. We will go through a safety assessment with you first to make sure this is a good fit, and you will also receive a preparation guide covering everything you will need. Our ceremonialist has guided over 400+ ceremonies with people from all backgrounds and experiences.
Book a call with Shannon and Debbie here. You can ask us any questions you have, or share your concerns. Nervousness is normal. This is a powerful and often life changing experience. Many women feel that way before joining, and we are here for you! 🙂 We would like to meet you and connect.
Yes! We have a Whatsapp group for the women who join each year. Many have become close friends, stayed in touch, and even 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 for us to confirm, together, whether this retreat is a good fit. It also helps us be mindful of additional support you may need. On the call, we review your medication and health history together.
The following are contraindicated: 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. Please message us so we can better understand your situation.
Yes. We offer flexible payment options to make this program accessible to you.
Your booking is fully refundable within 48 hours of booking. After that, it is non-refundable, but you may exchange your ticket for a future retreat date or transfer your booking to another qualified woman’s name. Exchange and transfer requests must be made at least 14 days before the retreat begins.
Message us here. You will also receive a link to book a call with Shannon & Debbie directly if you prefer to talk things through.
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
— Visionary Shannon
