December at Serenity

Close the Year by Returning to Yourself

Join the Shangriballa family at Estrela Serenity Resort & Spa for an intensive, year-end deep dive. We’re moving beyond “healing” and into the reality of who you actually are.

Why Estrela Serenity?

We’ve temporarily moved our container to Estrela Serenity. This resort gives us the exact environment we need: total seclusion, deep mountain air, and the quiet required for the intensity of the Shangriballa Method

  • The Sanctuary: Estrela Serenity provides a high-end resort and spa, a comfortable space that keeps you grounded while we do the heavy lifting of trauma integration and non-dual inquiry.

  • The Method: We’re still running the same rigorous sessions—bridging somatic release, consciousness exploration, and reality-testing. Nothing about the work changes, only the view.

  • Expert Support: Led by the Shangriballa Team, we’ll be holding the space with the same focus and directness you’ve come to expect from us.

Mountain Air: Massive, crisp views that put daily stress into perspective.

Each room includes:

  • Privacy: Private en-suite bathrooms.
  • Comfort: Quality towels, robes, and provided toiletries.
  • Convenience: In-room coffee-making facilities for your morning or late-night reflection.
  • Aircon and underfloor heating.

Rejuvenation & Recovery

Between sessions, you have full access to the resort’s wellness facilities to support your nervous system. Whether you need to sweat out tension or physically recover, the space is yours to use.

Beyond your room, you have full access to our comprehensive wellness circuit to support your physical and nervous system integration:

 

  • Traditional Sauna: Dry heat promotes deep sweating to release toxins, improve circulation, and relax tired muscles.
  • Infrared Sauna: Gentle far-infrared heat penetrates deep into your tissues to reduce joint pain, boost immunity, and enhance skin health.
  • Hammam (Steam Bath): Experience the soothing humidity of a traditional Turkish bath to cleanse your skin, clear your pores, and improve respiratory function.
  • Jacuzzi: Soak in our outdoor heated pool—kept between 36 and 40°C—while taking in the mountain scenery. It’s the perfect way to contrast the heat of the saunas and relax your body.
  • Gym & Bodywork: A fully equipped gym is available for movement, and professional massage services can be scheduled to assist with deep somatic release.

Nourishment & Fuel

The work we do is intense, and the body needs honest, high-vibration fuel to sustain it. You won’t find empty calories or processed fillers here.

Our in-house chef prepares fresh, organic, and locally sourced meals throughout your stay. We prioritise nutrient-dense ingredients that support your nervous system, stabilise your energy, and aid in physical recovery. Each meal is crafted to nourish you from the inside out, keeping you grounded while you navigate the deeper layers of the retreat.

The 5-Day Intensive: A New Approach

6 Night Immersion. Designed for complete integration

We’ve structured this retreat to move from arrival through deep inquiry, culminating in a clear, grounded exit. By removing Kambo from this year-end cycle, we’ve opened up the container specifically for reflection and the integration of your process.

  • Dec 7 (Arrival): Settle into your suite, disconnect, and prepare your nervous system for the days ahead.

  • Dec 8 (Day 1): Preparation Day—intensive workshops and therapy.

  • Dec 9 (Day 2): Non-Dual Workshop and Low-Dose Session.

  • Dec 10 (Day 3): Main Dose, Sharing, and Integration.

  • Dec 11 (Day 4): Main Dose, Sharing, and Integration.

  • Dec 12 (Day 5): Integration Workshops and closing.

  • Dec 13 (Departure): Morning departure, refreshed and recalibrated.

Lunch is at 13:00 with free time till 17:00 for massages and leisure. 

Why Not Stay Longer?

Give Yourself Time. Integration doesn’t happen on a clock. If you’re travelling from afar or simply need more space to let the work settle, we highly recommend arriving earlier or staying beyond the 13th. The Serra da Estrela mountains provide the perfect backdrop to buffer your return to daily life.
