Description

This intimate retreat (a small group of maximum 6 participants) with Cindy and Lieve is all about you and helping you to find inner peace.

Get ready to be taken on a relaxing journey of yoga, singing bowls, gong, meditation, and healthy and delicious vegetarian food. All of this is set in an environment that is the epitome of tranquility.

Our retreat home for the week is a colourful boutique guesthouse and yoga centre located stay in the most beautiful part of Portugal: the Algarve, five kilometres from the ocean, the beach and the Ria Formosa nature reserve. Here you will still find absolute silence, the authentic Portuguese countryside and idyllic fishing villages without high-rise buildings.

Every day combines relaxing morning and evening yoga or sound healing sessions with delicious fruit and vegetable juices. After breakfast you are free to take an e-bike and cycle to the fishing village or the beach. Or you can do nothing for a day with a book by the pool, because rest is also important.

Cindy teaches yoga stretches to relieve your body from all the stress it carries. She’ll give you exercises you can take back home. To continue your renewed lifestyle of peace and tranquility.

Lieve teaches mindfulness and the meaning of surrender. By using her singing bowls, she takes you to a place inside of yourself where you can find that inner peace and a deeper connection with your true self.

Yoga

Morning Yoga

Cindy is a crack at Elemental Flow Yoga. This form of yoga is gentle and active. You learn movements (flows) that free up the energy pathways in your body. You learn to breathe better and deeper. This lifts blockages and releases energy.

Elemental refers to the fact that this form of yoga takes into account the 5 elements. Each day we work on a different element so you really have a complete reset of body and mind.

Evening Yoga

The focus of the evenings is to unwind. The movements are much smaller and softer. Yin yoga is more of a moving form of meditation.

It gives you a chance to get close to yourself and cherish this moment. From there you can enjoy a wonderful deep sleep.

Teachers

Yoga with Cindy
Cindy is a passionate yoga teacher and coach. With her classes, she brings people into motion, both mentally and physically.

Her classes are Yin and Yang, action and rest, for both beginners and advanced students. They are an invitation to body and mind to find your unique strength outside your comfort zone. For this I use the 5 elements teaching. Every stretch in your body is linked to an energy pathway.

Mindfulness with Lieve
Lieve stands for tranquility. With ‘De Oase Van Rust’ she combines beauty and relaxation. By accentuating people’s beauty and giving them a full make-over. Next to this, she also specialises in enjoyment.

Making people enjoy inner peace is her goal. During her sessions, she takes you away on a journey of singing bowls, visualisations, and self-development. This brings your body and mind to a state of deep relaxation.

Cuisine

With every stay in Seeds of silence, a healthy breakfast of fresh fruit, a smoothie, granola with coconut yoghurt, nuts, cheese, fresh fruit juice. Expect tasty, bio vegetarian food for lunch and dinner.
