NEW YEAR SACRED PILGRIMAGE OF THE SOUL
DEC 29 - JAN 2, 2024/25
Psychedelic-Assisted Group Retreat of Birthing an Ancient Future:
This Birthing an Ancient Future Psychedelic-Assisted Group Retreat will be a Rite of Passage for the New Year. The choreography of the retreat is designed as a unique and Sacred Pilgrimage of the Soul. Our work, within and outside, will be enhanced through an extraordinary pilgrimage to the Neolithic Sacred Site in Central Portugal. This is the so-called Stonehenge of Portugal and is located close to Evora. The sacred site is a unique elliptical sacred circle which was built on a 7000-year-old east-west axis, where we can assume special sacred rites and fertility rituals. We will connect with our archaic knowledge and wisdom in this unique field.
This December retreat is dedicated to the winter solstice, representing the direction of the north - symbolising wisdom, maturity, and elderhood. Winter means the stage of life when one has accumulated knowledge and experience, and now has the opportunity to share that wisdom with others. It is a time to pass down traditions to future generations. The north holds the masculine element of air and wind and is the seat of the ancestors and wisdom. We honour the air element's wise presence within the winter solstice celebration of rebirth and renewal.

Psylocybin-Assisted Group Retreat
At the core of the gathering are different unique ceremonies and rituals, working with our intrinsic medicines. You Are The Medicine - supported, guided, and enhanced through many other modalities of medicine; including shamanic vision quest rituals, nature rituals, creativity and artwork, live music, singing and voice, movement and dance, a movement / dance / voice ceremony, an ocean ceremony, a healing bath ceremony, a legal plant medicine ceremony, and a fire ceremony.
The group retreat is held in a sacred circle, drawing upon the shamanic-therapeutic methods of working with expanded states of consciousness, to heal and transform individuals, groups, and planets.
We stay together for five days / four nights in the retreat centre, which allows us to dream further together, during sleep. This technique is used in dream incubation within the Temples of Delphi, along with group work processes during the daytime, and ceremonies.
The plant medicine dosages will be moderate. The organisational team provides professional contacts for the aftermath if further integration is needed. Throughout the retreat, guided integration processes are interwoven, guiding transformation and teaching holistic integration skills - including sharing and weaving individual experiences with collective insights into new understandings of human life, within intimate earth stewardship.
The retreat is led by the visionary founder/director of Birthing an Ancient Future, Dr. Regina U. Hess, NL / PT

VISION
Our dedicated focus lies in drawing nearer to our true selves and establishing profound connections, mindfully and intimately guided by the heart's teachings. Rooted in the sanctuary of our hearts, we honour the sacred water within, allowing it to course through our being like flowing rivers. This exploration delves into the intricate layers of our authentic essence as we transition from youth to adulthood. This journey involves a profound integration of the principles embodying the Divine Feminine and Masculine, embracing the expansive heart connection that extends beyond, to a profound connection with the world and the sacredness inherent in all aspects of life.
This transformative journey involves facing our dark and light aspects and integrating them to achieve a sense of wholeness. Through this sacred process, we develop a deep understanding of intimacy with all those around us, honouring our ancestors, and nurturing future generations. Regardless of our traditions, lineages, or directions, we embark on a transgenerational path of reverence and care. This is a way of becoming intimate with the multiple dimensions of our interconnected lives, in creative ways.
An expansion of consciousness, supported and catalysed in playful ways and by different medicines such as music, art, dance, dreamscapes, the plant medicines of cacao, Psilocybin-containing mushrooms, organic food delicacies, sweat lodge sauna and other various outdoor rituals in pristine nature. These are all practices complementing each other to support developing a conscious cyclical way of living with all, including the levels of body, mind, spirit, sexuality, culture, and nature.
