About This Experience

Step into a day of clarity, connection, and joy in one of the most magical forests in Europe.

This is a full-day guided hike through the ancient forests of Sintra combining nature immersion, the ceremonial use of microdosing, breathwork, shamanism, and meditation. You will explore fairy-tale palaces, medieval fortresses, and lush forest trails while gently opening to yourself and the people around you.

This is not a party. It is a day of slowing down, walking in nature, and giving yourself space to feel what is actually alive in you.

We begin with a grounding ceremony and intention setting. You will take a microdose before we walk. The hike moves through stunning forest trails, ancient ruins, and breathtaking viewpoints. There will be moments of silence, moments of conversation, breathwork, and moments of simply being present with the beauty around you.

By the end of the day, we close with an integration circle where we reflect, share, and explore how to carry what you have experienced into your daily life.

This hike is for you if you are looking for a reset. If you have been in your head too much. If you want to reconnect with your body, with nature, and with a sense of wonder that daily life tends to bury. No previous experience with microdosing is required. First-timers are welcome and well supported.

This is not suitable if you are currently on SSRIs or lithium, are pregnant, or have a history of psychosis or schizophrenia. If you are unsure, get in touch and we can discuss.
