Bali Retreat, a paradise for body and mind
During the Bali Retreat we take you to Swasti Bali, a wonderful paradise where you can unwind completely. Together with up to 11 other attendees, you can immerse yourself in the perfect mix of different types of yoga, breathwork and healing ceremonies.
You will pamper your body not only with yoga and other sessions, but also with delicious meals from the extensive buffet. Thanks to this total package, you can return home fully rested and recharged, ready to take on the world again.
Food & drinks
The power of healthy meals
During the Bali Retreat, we focus on fresh and organic meals. Ingredients are grown in Swasti Bali’s backyard and are lovingly tranformed into healing, strengthening dishes. In the process, the chefs avoid using sugar and potatoes as much as possible, instead offering local alternatives.
Every bite has been well thought out, and each dish is a gift to your body. Enjoy the extensive buffets and blissful drinks, and learn to appreciate honest food again.

What a wonderful place to just let go of everything… the fun yoga and breathwork classes, the beautiful, serene surroundings, the good care of Cindy and her team make you feel away from it all and yet at home. The brunch is truly indescribable, looks like a picture and is sooo delicious… The massage was the icing on the cake. A gift to myself…. Till next year 😉
From the moment I came through the gate of Seeds of Silence, I was flooded with a very pleasant feeling of peace and warmth. The journey I have been on has been fantastic and life-changing for me. I could not have dreamt this beforehand. The guidance and attention to me as a human being has been heartwarming and I will never forget. Each and every one of you are truly amazing!
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.
This was my first yoga retreat, and I think I don’t need to look for other retreats in the future. This retreat has everything: a beautiful environment, a great vibe, friendly people (with whom I could practice Portuguese), a doggy, delicious healthy food (lots of vegan options, which was perfect for me), excellent and modern private accommodation, plenty of relaxation options (sauna, pool, yoga & breathwork sessions, massages, fitness, e-bikes to reach the nearest town and beach within 30 minutes) and most importantly, many comfortable seating and lounging areas in the garden and the house. Cindy has beautifully designed her ‘estate’ over the years, with stunning international artworks. Each corner has its own story and positive atmosphere. I haven’t even had the chance to try out all the relaxation spots! Maybe next time 🙂 I can recommend this retreat to anyone, look no further!
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this yoga retreat since it was my first time trying something like this. However, after 5 days at this oasis of love and tranquility, I can only say that I couldn’t have made a better choice. Cindy and her team went above and beyond from the start to make everyone feel at home and provided with all the luxuries. You feel welcome and can fully focus on relaxing. If I could, I would give this experience 6 out of 5 stars.
Seeds of Silence in one word: Abundance!! With a capital A! What an amazing retreat. This place simply breathes abundance! Delicious food, beautiful corners to retreat in the stunning garden, intense sessions: breathwork, yoga, tai chi, qigong, sound healing. Cindy has poured so much love into this place, you can feel it, taste it, see it, experience it! Every detail is taken care of! This retreat and the impact it had will stay with me for a long time. I’m very grateful that Seeds of Silence came into my life! A layer of my onion has remained in Portugal. Thank you very, very, very much, Cindy!
