l enjoyed a magical retreat at Seeds of Silence. For four days, a small group of five of us were treated to powerful breathwork and yoga sessions thoughtfully and expertly delivered by Cindy. I also had the opportunity to have a coaching session with Cindy and found her to be intuitive and skilled at helping me address important personal and business life milestones. The food – all vegetarian – was delicious and always sooo beautifully presented and l have to say each meal we had there was an event in and of itself. It being that time of year in the Algarve, we had great weather so lots of my free time was spent outdoors relaxing by the saltwater pool, boating on the Ria Formosa and, when l wanted it, quiet alone time by myself to read and contemplate in any number of idyllic spots both outdoors and indoors across the gorgeous property. Wish l could have stayed longer. Cindy and her wonderful team treated us like queens. There really is something to be said for small, intimate group retreats – the attention you get (if you want it) and the opportunity for a proper reset and switch off in the serene beauty of this lovely place can’t be beaten.
