In the beautiful valley of Luz da Lameira, you’ll find the perfect environment to reconnect with your true nature. Leave behind the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the silence and beauty of nature. Here, you can truly turn inward and discover the truth of who you really are.
The accommodations are intentionally kept simple, allowing you to let go of distractions and focus on what truly matters: meeting yourself.
We’ve come to realize that the most powerful resource on-site is the raw and inspiring nature of the valley. The birds, frogs, and crickets sing an encouraging song, the earth supports us, and the starry night sky mirrors our infinite potential, inviting us to shine.
During the retreat, we use various powerful techniques such as breathwork, systemic work/family constellations, sound healing, yoga, meditation, artistic expression, and more. Each of these practices offers unique opportunities to break through old patterns, release blockages, and create inner transformation. Included in this week is an individual massage from a fantastic local masseuse.
Throughout the retreat, there will be ample time for individual reflection as well as opportunities to connect with others. Seva, or selfless service, will also be an integral part of the week. This is a chance to give, share, and support one another in a spirit of community and connection.
Who is this for?
If you’re looking for time and space for yourself in a small-scale and personal setting, Luz da Lameira will welcome you with open arms.
We focus on the movement you can and want to make. Forcing doesn’t align with the natural flow in our view. However, the valley and its nature might invite and challenge you to explore what your essence is calling for. We are here to encourage that, providing support and a safe environment. Our aim is always to align with what is deeply true.
We ensure that you first have the chance to ground and settle, creating a firm foundation within yourself. From there, you can begin exploring the more energetic and mystical aspects of your being.
Do you feel the call of Luz da Lameira? Don’t hesitate—just come!
