What an incredible paradise this place of Cindy’s (Seeds of Silence) in the Algarve is. Close to the airport, right in the middle of nature. I truly enjoyed Cindy’s breathwork sessions, and on top of that, the beautiful combination she creates with her yoga classes – she clearly has a lot of experience. But oh wow, I didn’t know where to look first. The various gardens are stunning, the rooms on the ground floor (always your own room), the large swimming pool, and the many shaded and sunny lounge areas with beautifully curated furniture. The atmosphere feels like Marrakech/India/Bali – this place is just too beautiful. It’s the kind of place that gives you endless inspiration for your own home and garden. The enormous Buddha statues and other sculptures in the gardens, the big house… the interior design is simply magnificent. And it’s also so nice that the group is small (maximum 5 people). That allows Cindy to give truly personal attention. What a lovely, kind, and beautiful woman she is. I really felt a connection with her. I truly hope all her retreats will be fully booked. And I haven’t even mentioned the delicious vegetarian food yet, presented with so much care and beauty. Everything matched in color and flavor (often from the garden itself). Super fresh – and you could really taste it. Every day had its own theme, lovingly prepared by the two chefs and explained to us as we sat down after our yoga and breathwork sessions. The drinks and smoothies were equally amazing. Everything was too good to be true. It honestly felt like a dream.It’s rare for me to want to stay longer somewhere, but with Cindy, I definitely did. I’ll certainly be coming back next year. The price-quality ratio is absolutely spot on. Of the six different retreats I’ve attended over the past few years, this one is without a doubt my number one!
