MARTIN RICHTSFELD – HERMETIC ALCHEMY
Transforming your life through ancient alchemical wisdom.
Martin introduces you to the 7 alchemical steps that help turn challenges into stepping stones. His deep connection with this ancient wisdom helps you align with the flow of life, integrating balance and wisdom into modern living.
MARIE RICHTSFELD – AKASHIC RECORDS
Unlocking the guidance of your soul’s blueprint.
Marie’s work with the Akashic Records brings deep insights from your soul’s journey, guiding you to reclaim your authentic path. She offers you a mystical process to uncover your true essence and connect deeply with your inner compass.
The power of our tools
Each of these tools offers a unique way to reconnect with your True Essence. Combined, they open up a new possibility to step into the life you were meant to live.
FAMILY CONSTELLATION
Family Constellation is a unique method that helps uncover and heal emotional patterns and challenges rooted in your family system. By exploring connections to your ancestors, you can release inherited burdens, understand yourself better, and experience profound emotional freedom. It’s a powerful way to create healthier relationships and reconnect with your True Essence.
HERMETIC ALCHEMY
Hermetic Alchemy is all about inner transformation. It uses ancient wisdom to help you turn life’s challenges into opportunities for growth, like turning “lead” into “gold.” During the retreat, you are going to experience the seven steps of alchemical transformation — timeless principles that are found in the evolution of all things. Each day of the retreat represents one of these steps, helping you recognize the seven steps in all phases of life and move through them with clarity, resilience, and empowerment.
AKASHIC RECORDS
Imagine the Akashic Records as the information field that permeates the entire universe. It stores all the dynamics and developments within it. We connect to this field during the seven alchemical steps, as well as in family constellations. Through this, we transcend the confines of the conditioned mind, shedding the murky lens of habits and beliefs, and connect deeply to our intuition. This process allows us to heal old wounds and discover the guidance we need to move forward.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Marie had a vivid dream of an inverted alchemical tower, unaware of what it means. After sharing this vision with Tamara at the Return to Yourself Retreat in Bali, Tamara recognized the place from her own life in Portugal: Sintra – a place the alchemists called home many years centuries ago, and where they also built the mystical tower of Alchemy. This synchronicity birthed the idea of bringing this transformative journey to Portugal, offering an invitation to all who seek to reconnect with their deepest selves.

Why Sintra, Portugal?
Sintra is more than just a beautiful destination—it’s a gateway to a mystical, and deeply spiritual experience where the line between the physical and the metaphysical blurs. The history of alchemists and magicians who walked these grounds before us adds another layer of inspiration, guiding and supporting the transformational process we will undertake together.
With its ancient palaces, secret gardens, and sacred wells that have inspired countless mystics, and alchemists throughout the centuries. Sintra’s connection to Hermetic Alchemy is profound. We will visit the iconic Initiation Well at Quinta da Regaleira symbolizes the alchemical journey of transformation.
The Retreat Center: Shamballah Retreat
Located in Sintra National Park, the Shamballah Retreat Center offers a serene, peaceful environment, walking distance to the ocean, where you can connect with nature and your own inner self. The center is a modern villa which our group will share as their common home and transformation site. Surrounded by sacred hills, unspoiled beaches, and organic permaculture gardens, this villa is a safe haven to rest, rejuvenate, and reflect. In combination with excursions to the old town of Sintra, the stages of alchemical transformation are being made tangible and visible.

What our PARTICIPANTS say
The work with Marie and Martin supported me in seeing who I truly am and that the baggage that I have been carrying
“I am not good enough” was deeply rooted within me. The irony is that part that believed I wasn’t good enough isn’t actually good enough. During a profound moment with Marie, I truly saw how deeply this belief lived within me. I allowed the tears to flow, and for the first time, there was compassion. The work with Marie and Martin supported me in seeing who I truly am and that the baggage that I have been carrying for so long wasn’t even mine! With the support of Marie and Martin, old triggers turned into new perspectives by observing the mind. The frequency-enhanced Akashic guided meditations became my go-to whenever I felt an emotion coming up. Martin’s wisdom about Alchemy made me look at situations from a new perspective. Marie and Martin helped me to listen more intuitively to what I truly need and follow that. I am forever grateful to have Marie and Martin in my life.
I am deeply inspired after having witnessed Marie and Martin’s love and power together
I had the pleasure and privilege of experiencing the safe space that Marie and Martin are holding. It was utterly beautiful, safe, deep, and intimate. I am a different woman walking out – full of revelations and self-confidence. I am deeply inspired to create healing spaces for humanity after having witnessed their love and power together. I highly recommend immersing into the healing spaces of Marie and Martin if you have the opportunity.
The ultimate tool for recognizing and transforming everything
As my spiritual journey continues endlessly, I reflect on countless workshops, meetings, books, and profound paths to self-discovery. Working with Marie and Martin, however, stands out as lovingly simple, even when the alchemical wisdom is complex. Martin has a remarkable ability to translate these deep insights into modern, accessible language. The “Return to Yourself” Retreat is truly the ultimate tool for recognizing and transforming everything. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
You are worthy, and you are enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you. May your journey be extraordinary, and I hope to meet you there.
I will be able to use all the lessons from now on that I got from working with Marie and Martin
Before learning about the Akashic Records, life started unfolding a lot of routes in front of me, and I was lost on my journey. I felt heaviness in my body and mind, and I didn’t know how to handle it, so I was trying my best to just move along with my daily routines. I came into Marie and Martin’s program without any expectations and not trying to fix anything. I wanted to get to know more about the Alchemy and Akashic Program and myself in the process. I learned that life goes in cycles, and no matter at which step you are, you can always return to where you need to be. I trusted in the process while dealing with emotions, facing my ego, and identifying people holding me back. I will be able to use all the lessons from now on that I got from working with Marie and Martin, the wisdom of Alchemy, and the Akashic Records.
I found Gold!
I found Gold! And it happened through the intuitive process of alchemical transformation that brought me into deep awareness. Thank you so much for holding the space, dear Marie, Martin and Tamara.
The most beautiful experience of my life
In the “Return to Yourself” Retreat, Marie and Martin create a space filled with wonderful energy in an enchanting location, allowing Body, Soul, and Spirit to reconnect. Their work truly transcends earthly imagination and guides you back to your innermost self. I am forever grateful to have embarked on this journey with them. It was not only the most beautiful experience of my life, but I also literally regained my voice.
The greatest gift on Earth is that Marie and Martin have made it their mission to share their masterpiece with the world. I love you!
