KEY FEATURES OF 5-DAY RETREAT:

5 Day Transformative Healing Retreat in Portugal

Join us for a five day journey at Casa da Volta, Portugal — designed for deep reset, release, and reconnection.

We are deeply passionate about healing and about teaching others how to heal themselves. Through our intensive trauma therapy and transformative healing retreat experiences, we guide you in awakening your inner healer. You’ll leave feeling empowered to be a source of grounding and growth within your family, friendships, and community.

At JAX, we blend ancient wisdom with somatic, energetic, and spiritual healing practices to create a powerful, trauma informed space for genuine transformation. Over five days, you’ll move through a carefully curated program of Kundalini activations, breathwork, sound, movement, and integrative bodywork, all designed to support emotional release and nervous system regulation.

This immersive experience offers both gentle unwinding and deep catharsis, a space to reconnect with your body, truth, and inner wisdom. Guided by our experienced facilitators, you’ll leave with practical tools for continued integration and lasting change, grounded, clear, and more connected to yourself than ever before.

KEY INFORMATION

  • This retreat is for those who are ready to move beyond surface-level healing and meet themselves in a deeper way.

    It’s for those who feel stuck in patterns, weighed down by unprocessed experiences, or disconnected from their own power and truth. If you’ve been carrying emotional pain, trauma, shame, or grief—and you know it’s time to stop bypassing and start truly releasing then this space is for you.

    Our work is somatic, body-led, and rooted in the nervous system. That means we don’t just talk about healing, we create space for it to happen. You’ll be supported through a blend of energy work, breath, movement, and emotional release, all held in a safe and attuned environment.

    This retreat is not for everyone. It’s for people who are willing to show up for themselves. Who want to feel again. Who want to access the parts of themselves that got buried under survival mode.

    Whether you’re just starting out or have already done a lot of inner work, this retreat will meet you exactly where you are and invite you to move forward with more clarity, peace, and presence.

    To maintain the integrity of the space, all places are by application only. This ensures that those who join are emotionally ready and committed to engaging in the process fully.

    If you feel the pull, the journey is waiting. And we’re ready to walk it with you.

  • Life can leave us carrying layers of unresolved emotional, physical, and energetic experiences—shaping our coping mechanisms, survival strategies, and even our sense of self. These layers often keep us stuck, disconnected, and living from limitation instead of possibility.

    This work is about addressing the root causes of tension, dysregulation, and imbalance through energy healing, spiritual healing, and somatic integration. With compassion and intention, we create space for release and reconnection—so you can reclaim your inherent wholeness, embody your authenticity, and live from a place of empowerment and inner coherence.

  • The benefits of this work are profound and far-reaching:

    • Release of stored tension and trauma in the body and energy field.

    • Greater emotional clarity and understanding of ingrained patterns.

    • Regulation of the nervous system and relief from chronic stress or dysregulation.

    • A deeper connection to yourself and your authenticity.

    • Increased capacity to experience love, gratitude, and peace.

    • Relief from years of mental, emotional, or physical suffering.

    This is not a superficial practice but a deep, integrative process that reconnects you with your essence. By addressing the root causes of imbalance, these sessions pave the way for greater alignment, freedom, and a return to wholeness.
