Summary
I offer neither a structured program nor specific methods, techniques, or readings, but rather a safe space where you can simply be with yourself and express yourself as you are. My approach is an alternative to rigid retreats that rely on therapeutic and group-dynamic methods. You design your own daily schedule—with the exception of mealtimes. You remain silent. You feel. You live from moment to moment and do whatever comes to mind. You are free. That is the essence. You are with yourself, within yourself, in silence. You observe. You can express yourself creatively for a maximum of 2 hours per day, through writing, painting, or dancing—if you feel like it. You don’t have to perform, prove anything to anyone, or fit into a group setting. No prior knowledge, beliefs, theoretical knowledge, or therapeutic experience is required to participate in the Silence Retreat—just the courage to be honest, patience, compassion, and the willingness to truly look within and open yourself to what is.

Accommodation
The luxurious Villa Maio Verde, with its panoramic ocean views, is the perfect place to unwind in a serene setting. Here you’ll find a peaceful atmosphere, enhanced by a breathtaking infinity pool. Maio Verde is just a few minutes away from Ponta Preta, one of the most beautiful beaches in Cape Verde. There, you can feel the fine sand beneath your feet and let yourself be moved by the endless expanse of the sea.
