Vine of the Soul Retreats

Vine of the Soul Retreats offers science informed programs for personal transformation, resilience and lasting change. Their work is built around the BioPsyche Renewal Protocol – a three phase journey called Stabilize, Illuminate and Embody – designed to calm the nervous system, reveal deeper truth and anchor long term shifts. The approach blends psychology, neuroscience, modern psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, belief work, somatic tools and elements of Eastern wisdom, held in a trauma informed, compassionate and community based container. Psychedelics are optional – guests can work with ayahuasca, psilocybin truffles or San Pedro, or choose non medicine modalities.

Service

Vine of the Soul combines online programs and in person retreats in premium locations across Europe, including pop up retreats in Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands. Phase 1 Stabilize is a six week online process with live coaching, psychoeducation and micro practices to regulate emotions and restore biological balance. Phase 2 Illuminate is an eight day small group retreat – up to ten participants and a high facilitator to guest ratio – with two to four ceremonies using ayahuasca, mushrooms or truffles and San Pedro, or non medicine equivalents, plus yoga, bodywork, sharing circles and group calls before and after. Phase 3 Embody is another six weeks of post retreat coaching with integration practices and biohacking strategies for sleep, focus and vitality, supported by ongoing community spaces.

Safety

Safety is central in how Vine of the Soul designs its retreats. The team uses comprehensive health screening through intake forms, looking at heart health, blood pressure, mental health history and medications, and applies clear contraindication rules. All ceremonies are held by sober professional facilitators, with emergency tools such as AEDs and blood pressure monitors on site and nearby hospitals identified. Participants follow detailed dietary guidelines before the retreat, group sizes are kept small and legal frameworks are respected – ayahuasca in private settings in Spain and Portugal, and legal psilocybin truffles in the Netherlands. Values like Safety, Empowerment, Science and Spirit, Transparency and Community are explicitly named and built into the retreat design.

Care pathway

The usual pathway starts with an introductory call or online contact, followed by an intake process and, for those joining the full protocol, the Stabilize phase with health screening, nervous system regulation and one to one preparation calls. Guests then attend the Illuminate retreat week with ceremonies, daily sharing circles and individual intention setting and integration talks. After the retreat, Embody offers structured integration coaching, outcome tracking surveys, and practical changes in sleep, energy and habits. Continued support includes a follow up integration call, WhatsApp groups, monthly online circles and access to a wider knowledge base so that change continues beyond the retreat itself.

Pricing

Our flagship offering, the BioPsyche Renewal Protocol, is a 14-week hybrid transformation program designed around three core phases: Stabilize, Illuminate, and Embody. Full Program Investment: €5,600 (early bird €5,400) Includes:
Stabilize Phase (Pre-retreat, 6 weeks): 1 introductory call, weekly 1.5–2h therapy sessions, lifestyle and neurochemical optimization.
Illuminate Phase (8-day retreat): 4 carefully guided ceremonies, embodiment practices, group workshops, full accommodation, and meals.
Embody Phase (Post-retreat, 6 weeks): Weekly integration sessions, group call, follow-up support, access to the BioPsyche App, and pre/post assessments.

This comprehensive model combines psychology, biology, and consciousness work to help individuals stabilize their nervous system, illuminate unconscious patterns, and embody lasting transformation.
