Why Meditate?

Embarking on the journey of learning to meditate unveils a profound adventure toward tranquility and self-discovery. Meditation offers a gateway to inner serenity, enabling us to navigate life's complexities with greater clarity. As we delve into the practice, we cultivate mindfulness, allowing us to observe our thoughts and emotions with wisdom and acceptance. With dedication and perseverance, meditation becomes a powerful tool for managing stress, enhancing concentration, and nurturing overall well-being. Whether through guided sessions, breathwork, or other methods, embracing meditation brings us closer to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world, enriching our life with newfound wisdom and peace.

Class format

We offer two ways to learn meditation. We have a monthly guided meditation class at our studio in Alcobaça, Portugal. We also offer 6-week series of themed classes, such as “Meditation 101”, or “Adapting to Culture Shock.” These series of classes build on each other and are designed to help you begin or refresh your home meditation practice. Please see our event calendar for the class schedule and descriptions.

A unique way to learn…

Together, my husband and I offer a holistic approach to meditation, blending the mind and body for a truly enriching experience. Incorporating the use of essential oils, we enhance the meditation practice by centering the body and calming the mind. Our carefully selected oils create a soothing atmosphere, allowing you to delve deeper into your meditation journey with a sense of tranquility and ease. With our guided meditations (in both Portuguese and English) and the power of aromatherapy, you can unlock the full potential of your meditation practice, fostering inner harmony and well-being.
