NLP & Self-Love Retreat
How do you practice self-love?
Ever been told to be kinder to yourself? To love yourself first before truly loving someone else? But let’s be real, what does that even mean?
Self-love isn’t something you just wake up with one day. It’s a process, a series of small but powerful steps.
During this retreat, we’ll explore together:
- what kind of love feels right for you
- where your true source of love comes from
- who you share your love with (including yourself!)
Love isn’t one-size-fits-all. Even when you love someone else, it can show up in different ways—maybe you love by caring for them, or maybe your love is trusting them to stand on their own.
During our NLP & Self-Love Retreat, you get to define what self-love means for you. Is it acceptance? Respect? Appreciation? Recognition?

You and Your Inner World
Here’s something to think about: Who is the YOU that loves YOU?
We all have parts of ourselves that we struggle with—things we wish were different. But hopefully, there are also parts you’re proud of! This retreat is all about looking at all sides of you with kindness.
Our personality is made up of different parts, and you can hear it in the way we talk: A part of me really wants this, but another part is hesitating.
The way these parts interact plays a huge role in your happiness.
What you’ll get from this retreat: You’ll learn how to build trust, understanding, and connection between all parts of yourself—so they work together instead of against each other.

Thank you so much for the wonderful time. You gave me fantastic lessons and valuable insights. A thousand thanks and much love. I look forward to coming back again!
A piece of heaven on earth. Truly! If you’re looking for a retreat on a small scale (6 rooms) on a beautiful spot with super healthy ànd delicious food, this is the place to be. I’ve done a few retreats, this is the best one. Cindy is a wonderful host: wise, strong and just lovely, as is her staff. I’ve experienced a retreat to remember and cherish. Allow yourself to enjoy this!
What a beautiful, peaceful place! I followed the small group yoga retreat and could relax completely thanks to hostess Cindy’s inspiring classes and her warm personality. With her eye for detail, she transforms this property into an oasis of peace where you lack nothing. From the many Buddha statues over the delicious vegetarian dishes to the extensive choice of nooks to get cozy in the sun with a book: this place has everything to boost your whole being and return home fully recharged. Wonderful, healing, transformative experience. Thank you Cindy & team!
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!
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!
A wonderful experience that I highly recommend if you want to find yourself again and rediscover your inner strength! The top quality coaching, the healing yoga and breathwork, the peace and relaxation,… and not to mention the food is very very good.
Seeds of Silence is a piece of paradise in the Algarve. You are welcomed with so much love. Cindy and her team make sure you will not lack anything: healthy food for body and mind, and yoga, breathwork and other workshops of top quality. Pure indulgence! I will return here!
The gift of the Seeds of Silence Small Group retreat to myself is one of the best things I have done in my life. I have been on many retreats around the world but what Cindy has created here is both nurturing and nourishing for the body and soul. The path to return to this sanctuary in a beautiful part of Portugal will remain a constant in my life.
What I experienced during the Small Group Retreat is indescribable. I went through such a tough period in late 2022, early 2023, and I finally found myself again after a week at Seeds of Silence, thanks to Cindy’s amazing work and the soothing conversations with the people who were there. I am truly ‘back in my own shoes’ now, and knowing where I come from, I am really proud of myself!
