Weekend retreat

Relax and Recharge in nature

A Weekend Retreat
June 23-25 2023

Imagine a weekend devoted to practicing yoga, relaxation, chant, and meditation to calm the mind and replenish your body and spirit.
This is also an opportunity to treat yourself on all levels by offering your body healthy, organic, and vegetarian meals from local farmers.
You could also swim in the natural pool or river, take a meditative walk through the nature that surrounds the retreat center, get a great massage, relax in the hammam, or read the book that has been waiting for you.
Take time to recharge your batteries, help your body heal, and bring joy to your mind, body, and soul.

Meet the teachers

Maria Miguel Ribeiro PhD

Helping People to Feel the joy of a quiet mind
My search for peace and silence started in 2010. I longed for peace and liberation from the oppression of my own mind.

The journey lead me to meet to study with great masters.The timeless wisdom shared by these masters and their lineage of teachers inspired and transform my own life.

From an academic researcher working on sustainability to become an avid practitioner of yoga and meditation. 

Today i am passionate about sharing these teachings. I inspire seekers to discover the bliss of a quiet mind and the pure inner joy that results from this work.
