The Azores are magnificent Portuguese Islands, believed to be the tips of the mountains of  Atlantis 

 

Tucked so preciously in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, these 9 precious islands are considered by many as the Hawaii of the Atlantic

These are gorgeous Portuguese islands almost literally in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, tucked away so preciously, and ready to be explored with wonder and magic!

Cosmic Expansion Through Mama Cacao

Cacao is a cosmic Mother spirit, so gently nurturing us to open our hearts and see what's beyond our current beliefs and stories. We will be connecting, daily, to this beautiful Plant Medicine while out in nature, and sharing sacred Cacao offerings to Mother Earth, throughout the islands! 

Cosmic Wisdom Through Psilocybin

Psilocybin guides us beyond beliefs. Immersed in nature, we transcend limits, unveiling insights, healing, and unity. These mushrooms are portals to mystical realms, expanding consciousness.
