Led by retreat leaders, mentors, teachers and former monks, Rajesh Ramani and Smitha Jayakumar of Mindfulness and Beyond, Longevity Wellness will be hosting the first curated retreats at Longevity Health & Wellness Hotel in Alvor, Portugal in April 2023, and bookings are now open:
Three Retreats in April
Stress: Balance and Wellbeing Retreat, 1st – 5th April (four nights)
An immersive experience that allows you to explore, understand and dissolve the sources of your stress and change your response to it, and in so doing, to achieve a state of wellbeing beyond stress. This retreat supports you while you re-establish the body-mind-heart connection as you regulate the nervous system and rediscover the peace of balance.
Embracing Connection Retreat, 8th – 13th April (five nights)
An immersive retreat where you will learn to build, sustain and enhance your ability to connect with others, while addressing the challenges that come with it. This retreat will help you manage your individual space and boundaries while maintaining a sense of belonging and connection.
The Rising Awareness Meditation Retreat, 15th – 21st April (six nights)
Meditation helps us engage with life deeply. It brings a calm sense of clarity as we navigate everyday tasks. The Rising Awareness meditation retreat combines insights and practices to train the mind, open the heart, so you can experience meditation in its wholeness with all its benefits.
What you can expect
All three guided retreats combine ancient teachings and traditional practices from Eastern philosophy with modern Western psychology techniques, offering attendees the opportunity to dive deep within and take inventory of their life. The retreats offer progressive solution-based insights and wisdom that will lead guests to a deeper sense of connection and clarity, ultimately steering you towards positive transformation.
In addition to the three curated retreats, Mindfulness and Beyond will be offering introductory talks, group meditation and pranayama sessions, and one-to-one personal mentoring for in-house guests while in residence at Longevity Health & Wellness Hotel, from 1st – 23rd April 2023.
“We believe it is possible to be happy and live a fulfilling life, with less suffering,” comments Rajesh Ramani of Mindfulness and Beyond. He continues, “On our individual spiritual paths, we have encountered many inspiring teachers and have both faced the full spectrum of emotions…from sorrow to joy…that accompanies the human condition. Mindfulness & Beyond is our effort to share our insights and wisdom with others in the hope that it will lead others to clarity and a connection with life’s magical potential.”
