Teacher Training - June 29 - July 5, 2026 - Sintra/Lisbon, Portugal


Over the years we have received a multitude of requests to do a more formal teacher training for practitioners of tobacco medicine. This is now that opportunity. We will be holding a week-long intensive in Portugal, outside of Lisbon, in the beautiful forest of Sintra. This retreat is ONLY open to current practitioners or those who have completed their apprenticeship with Jason, Merav, Ernesto, or another qualified practitioner.

We will be doing daily lectures and practices, two days of group ceremonies, and a public clinic. We put together a small slideshow with the daily topics and routines.

 
 

The retreat will take place in the beautiful forest of Sintra at a place called Floresta Encantada. Its a magical forest that has a history of medicine and magic work. Below are some photos and here is link to their website: https://www.florestaencantadasintra.com
