There is a way of living that is slower, deeper, more alive - where the body is not something to manage, but something to listen to. Where breath becomes a doorway, touch becomes a language, and each morning holds the possibility of meeting yourself anew.
This is what awaits you at the Awaken Experience Retreat.
Over five immersive days in the wild beauty of the Algarve, you will be invited to shed what is held, soften what is armoured, and remember what the body already knows. Guided by Ashik, Laxmi and Puja, this retreat weaves tantric wisdom, breathwork, sacred touch, and ecstatic movement into a living, breathing journey - not a curriculum, but an unfolding.
Each day opens with morning meditation or yoga, moves into the terrain of erotic energy and tantric practice, and closes with evening rituals of integration and stillness. Massage and sacred touch, breathwork, ecstatic dance, and ceremonial space are woven throughout - each practice an invitation to go deeper.
Furthermore, the journey does not end when you leave. To support what has opened in you, the retreat includes one private session and one online group integration session after your return - space to continue, to integrate, and to be held as the work lands in your daily life.
You will not leave the same. That is the whole point. Spaces are limited and held with care. If you feel the call, honour it.
These teachings are for everyone - singles and couples, across all orientations and identities, all bodies, and all backgrounds. There are no prerequisites here, only an open heart and a willingness to explore.
Finally, if cost is a concern, we invite you to speak with us. Access matters to us, and we will do our best to find a way to welcome you in.
Ashik is an international Tantra master and founder of Awakeland Portugal, a reforestation project and conscious event centre. For the last 25 years, he has walked the path of Meditation, Breathwork, and Tantra, with an innate curiosity for the essence of individuals and conscious relationships.
Inspired by Osho’s teachings, he integrates joy with trauma awareness and the art of intimate relating. Furthermore, influenced by nature and shamanic wisdom, Ashik emphasises presence as essential – creating safe spaces where people can drop performance and be fully engaged in the present moment.
His Sanskrit name means ‘Lover’, which reflects his dedication to awakening the divine connection within each individual.
Laxmi is a lifelong student of the sacred arts, having immersed herself in the transformative practices of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and Tantra for over 25 years.
With a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, she has evolved into a passionate advocate for self-discovery, sensuality, and radical self-love. Moreover, Laxmi’s journey is one of profound personal awakening, and she now dedicates her life to empowering others to embrace their authentic selves — helping them unlock the divine energy within and cultivate a harmonious relationship with themselves and others.
Through her wisdom and warmth, she inspires individuals to explore their inner landscapes, fostering a life of pleasure, balance, and profound connection.
Puja is a therapist, retreat leader, and creator of transformational experiences. With over 13 years on the path of body-mind-spirit healing, she holds an innate curiosity for the depths of human connection and the sacred potential within each person.
Inspired by the meeting point of science and spirituality, she weaves together psychology, tantra, somatic practices, and trauma-informed tools – creating spaces where healing, awakening, and authentic relating become possible.
Furthermore, she is the founder of the Intimacy Pump Process and host of the ‘Solta o Tabu’ Podcast. Through this work, she dedicates herself to supporting people in reconnecting to their full relational and emotional potential.
