Holds the clinical side of the week.

This is a special edition in collaboration with MU LABS, experts in neurotechnology that translates the mind into real experiences. A five-day immersive retreat blending storytelling, neurobiology, Andean–Amazonian ancestral knowledge and wild male community energy — for those ready to redesign the life they're living.
ROAR is a hybrid: part creative workshop, part transformation retreat, part narrative engineering lab. We work with the same tools used to build films — character, conflict, structure, arc — and apply them to the script you're living inside.
Change the narrative, change the reality it produces.

Every transformation moves through the same architecture. We guide you through it deliberately, in sequence, with practice.
We meet what stops you. The defenses, the loops, the stories you protect even as they shrink your life.
We name the grip. We practice the release — not as theory, but in the body, in the breath, in the room.
The state where the new pattern becomes possible. Movement, attention, and creation collapse into one.
We anchor what shifted. You leave with structure, not euphoria — a new architecture you can live inside.
The brain reorganizes its wiring in response to experience. New input creates new patterns — at any age.
What you believe becomes what you notice. What you notice becomes what you feel and how you act.
Stories are infrastructure. Identify the script, edit the script, change what the script produces.
What labs are mapping today, communities in Bolivia have been living for generations. We hold both traditions with respect — using each to illuminate the other.
Indigenous communities carry millennia of ancestral knowledge of sacred plant medicines. This living wisdom reconnects us with the earth, the body and our deepest memory. It helps us remember where we come from — and what we belong to.


A unique collaboration integrating technology and human experience to deepen self-awareness and transformation.
This edition of ROAR introduces a collaboration with MU LAB, merging advanced technology with inner work and personal exploration. The goal is to expand perception, awareness, and integration through measurable and experiential tools.
Emotiv Flex brain-sensing technology sessions at the beginning and end of the experience

Generative imagery grown from your own answers
Projection, light and sound experiences in immersive environments
Personalized readings translated into simple, human language





Herdade d'Amoreira in Aljezur, on Portugal's Costa Vicentina. No screens. No noise. The container is small and deliberate — physical, mental, and emotional exploration in tight rhythm with the four phases of flow.
We are not guides, shamans, or gurus; we are men in service, walking together in the strength of vulnerability for the good of the community.
After years of denying our roots, the sacred potential to push ourselves to exhaustion, knowing exactly what to do to transform our lives but choosing self-sabotage, choosing to move forward under a deep fear shaped by family patterns of rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal, and injustice, it was in that dark and twisted place that we recognized the true challenge: to look fear in the eyes.
And instead of "healing" it, we learned a way to integrate it into our lives.
We don't have a magical solution or a definitive formula — but that experience gifted us interesting tools, ancient and ancestral yet also new and innovative, that, when combined with the energy of the tribe, we deeply believe can help you remember and embody your most powerful essence.
Before you arrive, sit with these. They are the spine of the week — and the spine of the work after it.
What are you actually looking for? What story are you trying to write — and for whom?
In the body? The mind? The work? The relationship? Locate the stage.
In the present? Replayed from the past? Or borrowed from a future imagined?
Who is the version of you the story keeps casting? Why do they fight?
Strip away the talk. What do you actually do — and what would the new script require?
We don't sell magic. We share tools we've used on ourselves — refined across decades in film, in business, in the body, in long inquiry.
Award-winning filmmaker, theatre practitioner. Builds the narrative engineering frame from 22+ years inside story.
Engineer and film producer. Custodian of Andean–Amazonian knowledge and alternative therapy work.
Architect and entrepreneur. Holds the personal-inquiry container and the structure for what you build after.
Vinyasa, Jivamukti and meditation teacher. Anchors the body — the place every transformation has to land.

Specialized collaborators bringing technological precision into a deeply human container.
Holds the clinical side of the week.
Runs the recordings, before and after.
Builds the room the ceremony happens in.
Prepares your imagery, remotely, in the weeks before.
The ketogenic table, every day.


A quinta in the south-west of Portugal, inside the Natural Park, twenty minutes from the wildest beaches on the coast.

Less noise in the head. A clearer read on what is actually yours and what isn't.
Patterns that have been running on autopilot — interrupted, examined, rewritten.
Reconnection with what you're actually moving toward, and why.
A new internal script — one you authored, not one you inherited.
The container is intentionally small — only 14 participants. We read every application personally and reply within a week.
