Brahma Vihara
North Portugal
Immerse yourself in peace and tranquility
surrounded by nature.
I am excited to tell you about our plans for the summer ahead at our beautiful new retreat centre in Portugal.
We opened Brahma Vihara last winter with our first long long retreat since the pandemic. 18 of us gathered to immerse ourselves deeply in practice and it was a truly magical experience.
We have set up Brahma Vihara as a place of practice for those of you who are becoming more confident in your meditation and are seeking the space to practice more independently, but with the support of community.
We have also set up a ground breaking new programme at Brahma Vihara which we are calling “The Reset”. The idea behind the reset is to provide rehabilitation, healing at an energetic, neurological and physical level to support you in your efforts to bring the best of yourselves to your life, work and spiritual practice.
We will also be offering our trusted detox programme for those of you wanting a more physical health orientated retreat option.
These programmes will be available from July until November 2025. Long retreat will be hosted from November 2025 through to March 2026.
