My minuvida program

Step into a five-night, six-day journey designed to help you leave the virtual world behind and reconnect with what is real, grounded, and present. This intimate experience for groups of 4 to 10 participants invites you to slow down, feel the earth beneath your feet, and rediscover the value of simply stopping, being, and turning inward.

REAL FOOD
Explore the relationship between nourishment and well-being. Because what we put into our bodies matters, you will get your hands in the soil, learn more about your food, and make more conscious choices. This experience also includes learning how to pick, clean, and cook healthy and delicious meals, while understanding how real food supports body, mind, and spirit.

TRUE NATURE
Reconnect with the land through immersive educational hikes and nature-based exploration. These experiences are designed to help you deepen your connection to the natural world, discover the ecosystem and ancient stories of the region, and awaken a fuller sense of your own true nature.

HERE NOW
Make time to turn inward and cultivate presence. Through self-inquiry, dedicated practices, and group discussions, this part of the program supports a shift in mindset and encourages a more balanced, compassionate way of living. The intention is to help you be fully here now and experience greater clarity within yourself.

Across the itinerary, you can expect daily morning movement and meditation, immersive time in nature, workshops focused on mind, body, and leadership themes, and food that nourishes the soul. Every element is created to connect you more deeply to the present moment.
