Breathe, Move & come home to Yourself
Portugal, October 26. – 31. 2026
Join us for our unforgettable 5-day retreat in the heart of Portugal. Together, we expand into pure love, bliss, and infinite joy through Sacred Breathwork, Kundalini Activation Process (KAP), Angel Dances, meditative sound baths, mantra chanting and more.
Do you feel like there must be more to this life? More peace? More love? Open yourself to the garden within your heart and feel how much love there truly is for you.
Through the sacred gateways of breath, intuitive movement, kundalini activation sessions, angel dances, and undisturbed time in the magnificent nature of central Portugal, we rediscover the soul’s original state of never-ending grace.
Together, we dance, we sing, we breathe, and we rise. During this week, your state of mind begins to shift, and you return to a sense of wholeness — fully aligned with your soul and higher self.
As we melt into the days together, held by nature and guided by our retreat program, the walls around your heart begin to soften and gently crumble, opening you to the tenderness of your true essence. You may arrive with fear and anger, but you will leave filled with acceptance and grace.
Many of us feel lost in life. During our time together, we dive deep into ancient yogic wisdom and philosophy, helping you uncover one of the deepest forms of purpose: your dharma.
Together, we offer the dust of guilt, shame, and apathy to the Divine, so that you can feel safe again in your body, in your heart, and in all the creative, magnificent ways of self-expression.
Vale de Moses is a remote retreat nestled in the forested mountain valleys of central Portugal. A sanctuary that radiates love, offering space in pure nature far from the noise of busy cities, gently holding your heart as you soften into healing, grounding and homecoming.
We devotionally create retreat containers and experiences that are filled with peace, joy, light, and grace. The Retreat for the Soul opens the inner chambers of the heart and fills them with the purest love. Souls remember themselves, traumas are gently held and healed and hearts continue to open in their wake.

Moses Cottage
The Moses Cottage is a Xisto stone house with four single beds over two open-plan levels and a large wood burning stove for the Spring and Autumn nights. The spacious private bathroom to the side has a heated shower. Below, there’s a spring water plunge pool and wooden deck with loungers, plus a number of hammocks and seating spaces along the terrace with dreamy views of the sunsets to the west.
Single, Double or Twin occupancy
Sheltered under the shade of strawberry fruit trees peppered along a stone-terraced valley, each belle tent has the same comfy beds as the cottages, electricity for lights and charging devices, and a wood burning stove for the cooler spring and autumn nights. There are hammocks and sun loungers close by and wooden cabins with toilets and private showers with spring valley water heated by the sun or gas (when needed).
Hand Carved
Just beyond the Moses Cottage is the Adega. Another hand carved out of the mountainside cottage, originally for wine pressing and storage, the Adega is now a 3-bed shared cottage space equipped with wood burning stove, two single beds on separate levels with their own front doors and a third single bed above in a small private room.
Next to the Adega is a wooden and marble cabin with toilet. The outdoor solar heated shower in the old grape pressing tank is an absolute treat in the warmer summer months.
I’m Jun, the founding heart of the Academy for the Soul. I was born and raised in Switzerland. Over the past decade, I have lived in Indonesia, evolving from my previous life and career as a designer into a teacher of yoga, breathwork, ecstatic dance, and spirituality.
My passion comes alive when I am by the ocean — surfing glassy waves alongside sea turtles and colorful fish — or when I chant sacred songs in the early morning hours, cultivating gratitude and love for God/Source. My heart’s wish is to anchor unconditional joy and love on this Earth, so that we can enter an era free of judgement, fear and ignorance.
I’m Susi, a Kundalini Activation Process Level 2 Facilitator and space holder for deep inner transformation. I am based in Germany, where I guide people through KAP, Sacred Breathwork, and emotional integration work.
Since childhood, I have always seen the potential in people — beyond who they think they are. To witness their unfolding, to walk beside them as they grow, is not just my work… it is my deepest purpose. I create spaces filled with love — safe, open, and alive — for both adults and children to reconnect with themselves.
My path is devotion to life itself. I love to travel, to discover myself in new places, to listen to the whisper of the ocean, to feel the sun on my skin and the earth beneath my bare feet. I love being a mother. I love to move, to dance, to express, and to fully embody my true nature.
My heart’s vision is simple yet vast: that every human remembers their light, experiences the highest form of love, and steps into a freedom that allows them to be everything they came here to be.

The Academy for the Soul is a temple-inspired school and sanctuary for healing, awakening, and soul remembrance. Through our retreats, trainings, and sessions, we support individuals and communities in igniting the light within and bringing more joy, peace, grace, and happiness into the world.
Our roots were planted in 2019 by Jun Jared, emerging from his deep personal and spiritual evolution. Initiated and continuously refined
through his dedicated practice and study of yoga, the academy evolved organically over time and found its current shape through seven years of devotion to breathwork study, yoga practice, meditation, ecstatic dance facilitation, and spiritual exploration.
Today, we are a collective of sacred space-holders and facilitators who have been trained by Jun Jared. Our team currently hosts Ecstatic Angel Dance gatherings and Sacred Breathwork sessions in Bali, Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
