We have created the Transformational Residential with the goal of providing a more complete transformational experience. The intention is to create a safe space during a period of time, to question everything, from our sense of identity, the past and all the ideas to which we are attached to, mainly those that limit us, so we can look at Life through a different perspective. This program is definitely not for everyone, as it requires a great dedication and surrender, without which no profound transformation can occur, but the potential is very big.

For those who want to participate in this adventure within, meditation will be a fundamental practice, not just as a relaxation, but mainly as a means to discover our true essence beyond the mind. What stays when the mind stops and the body dissolves? I am still here, but who is this I?

The mind will also play an important role in the process, because we will use it to discriminate and deepen self-knowledge. We will do some contemplation exercises, with a scientific approach, to question the reality of our habitual identification with the body and mind.

All interior work will also be accompanied with work outside, in order to provide active moments of presence, sometimes in silence, according to the needs of the community at the time, and also respecting the preference of each one.
