This is a silent in-person retreat led by Jeff Carreira.
The structure and format of the retreat has been crafted to afford focus and intensity, as well as the space for inner reflection and contemplation that will accelerate a transition from ordinary consciousness to the miracle of awakened awareness.
The retreat begins with registration at 4:00pm on Monday, October 7th, followed by dinner at 6:00pm and the opening session at 7:15pm. The retreat will end at 12:00pm on Sunday, October 13th.
The retreat will not follow a set schedule. Sessions will be marked with the sound of a bell to signal the start and end of each one.
The schedule will include time for individual contemplation, journaling and short walks on the beautiful grounds of the retreat center.
The location for this retreat is a beautiful a 20th-century mansion villa called Villa Idalina in Caminha, Portugal, located just 5 minutes’ walk from the beach.
Each room offers antique furniture and are overlooking the garden and the river Minho. The property has a garden and terrace with outdoor tables.
The Spanish border is just 15 minutes’ drive from the property and Porto International Airport can be reached in 40 minutes by car. Seixas Train Station is just 500m away.
During the retreat you will enjoy highly nutritious omnivore meals three times a day, along with tea, coffee and snacks.
Travel to and from the Retreat
We intend to make your travel to Portugal as enjoyable and stress free as possible. We will be arranging a shuttle to pick you up at Porto International Airport on Monday, October 6th to bring you to the villa. You may want to consider flying into Porto a day early to get a good night’s rest before catching our shuttle the next day. We will also arrange for a shuttle to return you to Porto International Airport after the retreat ends on Sunday, October 12th.
You should be prepared to pay the shuttle service fee of approximately US$35 each way.




"We were able to only do three days of this event. But the impact for me was most profound. On our day 4, integration day an awareness of the Truth arose in me and left me totally flummoxed. Just what I have been working for, for so many years. I am truly a different person than the one who started the retreat last Friday. Profound gratitude to Jeff and the team."

"The daily teaching, Q&A's and and meditation sessions were so powerful , they brought such calm and flow to me and in turn to my family. Jeff's teaching enabled me reach greater depth in my meditations as each day passed."
~ T. Bird.
"The retreat was eye opening and life-changing, giving me a new understanding of me as a soul, and deepening my relationship with it. Giving all day to meditation for a few days, rather than an hour a day for a prolonged period, has brought changes in me that are indescribable. I did not want it end!"
~ J. Aebi.
"This retreat was a wonderful and profound experience of sinking into the depth of Being. Experiencing blissful happiness and liberation, just abiding there, without needing anything. Even in the face of challenges from outside, like a noisy neighourhood."
~ J. van den Bogaard.
