True Freedom! Retreat
26. – 31.10.2026 in Portugal
Instead of a regular Website...
Dear beloved Soul,
We may have met, we may haven't just yet. I'm grateful you are reading these lines, as they pour out of my heart (no filter).
If you're like me, you realized that knowing everything about mindfulness, healing and spirituality doesn't really help. What makes the difference is the embodiment of what we learn. And to become embodied, we have to walk through experiences and feel it all.
I don't know where in life you are at right now. If you just went through a heartbreak, carreer switch, maybe you lost someone or something very dear to you. The one thing I know about you though:
You are here for it all.
You are here for the healing, for the feeling, for the learning and growing.
You are here for the experiences that bring you closer to yourself.
And you are here to embrace whatever it takes to become more loving, more peaceful and more kind (to yourself and the whole world).
I know that I am.
On my life's journey, I have learned many things and I grew into the embodiment of so much more Peace and Joy.
The moments that helped me rebirth into a higher Love were always connected to a space with community. May that have been my first retreat (which tore me apart so I could find my true Self) or may it have been the countless moments I shared in circles, dances, breath-experiences and deep talks in nature under the clear night-skies.
Because I know the transformative power of coming together in sarcred containers, I started hosting retreats in 2023. The experiences we have had are truly hard to put in words... Because words can hardly describe such truly divine experiences.
Experiences that touch us so deeply, nothing ever stays the same after.
Moments that redefine the future in ways you couldn't dream of right now.
Experiences that let us see ourselves through the lens of a Love we didn't even know existed.
And connections that shape the way you relate to life itself in ways I (yet again) can't put in words.
If you feel my words in your body, you are the one Susi & I are hosting our this retreat for.
When I visited her in Germany recently, we made a little video to introduce ourselves more and give you some insights into the retreat ahead. Have a look below...
The magical grounds of Vale de Moses in Portugal await you.
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.
The Schedule
We start everyday with Yoga at 2am in the morning... JUST KIDDING!
Did you really think we'll set up a fix schedule for a retreat that's named the "True Freedom! Retreat"?
Susi and I bring many years of experience in guiding and supporting individuals and groups.
Instead of following a rigid program, we shape the retreat around what the group truly needs. To do so, we draw from a diverse range of experiences and methods – from KAP and Sacred Breathwork to Intuitive Movement such as Ecstatic Dance, Meditation and Yoga, as well as Emotional Intelligence. This gives you the freedom to deepen what you already know, discover something new and explore what is truly calling you in the moment.
Wanna get up for the morning practice? Or you prefer to sleep in and join us on our late morning and afternoon activities? The choice is yours.
We are facilitating 2-3 sessions every day, so if you're in for the deep work, we're ready to hold and guide you. But if you're good with one session per day and long for walks in nature, deep talks with others or simply swimming in the clear rivers all day: again, the choice is all yours.

Accomodation Options
Farmhouse Bedrooms, Stone Xisto Cottages and Glamping Belle Tents
Vale de Moses offers a selection of unique and beautifully crafted accommodations for you to choose from. Spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so let us know during your introduction call which accommodation speaks to your heart the most. We'll send you a PDF with details descriptions and more images before our call.
Moses Cottage
Shared Stone Cottages
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
Strawberry Belle Tents
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
Adega
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.
Uncover & Awaken the pure Light within you.
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.
Learn to feel complete in this moment, no matter what happens around 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.
Open yourself to a whole new experience of abundance and joy.
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.
About Us...
Jun Jared
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.
Susi Knupfer
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.
