The Experience

We are cultivating land set in a picturesque valley and 2 kms from the biggest Kundalini Yoga ashram in Europe. Yet we are only 40 minutes drive from Lisbon airport. 15 minutes from the hip surf town of Ericeira and 22 from Sintra. The nearest beach is 5 minutes from our land. This area is famed for its biodiversity. Ancient oaks, acorns, pines, cork and olive trees and many plants and herbs unique to this region can be found here.

It is a great experience for those seeking for yoga and meditation in a peaceful place. A must go for nature lovers! Amrit is a great host, always doing his best to make us feel at home, and flexible with the working hours. Overall, I'm grateful for the whole experience. Sat Nam!

I want to encourage everyone to trust the process, let go and fully embrace everything this experience has to offer. Every day is unique and boredom simply doesn't exist here. One of the highlights of my stay was participating in long meditations(2.5 h) I managed to complete three of these, and the sensations and realizations I experienced were profound, something I believe most people think is only achievable through external substances. It's incredible what you can feel when you surrender and immerse yourself in the practice. Amrit is great spirit and he made this experience unforgetable.

I left Brazil aiming to face situations which I could feel challenged and learn new things from experiences that I'd never had before. And this was exactly what Amrit and this opportunity could deliver. Amrit is a lovely person who is always trying to teach you something, from whom you can pick up a lot of learnings if you are willing to be fully in the experience. The work was fair and meaningful, while the yoga experience could also make me realize how important it is for me to develop a similar morning routine. I'm very grateful to Amrit and to the experience as a whole.

Being able to visit the ashram, participate in the classes, and join in the chanting sessions was incredibly fulfilling. Amrit and Rajot always did their best to ensure everyone's well-being and comfort. The cabin is off the grid, which is perfect for disconnecting from the outside world, to get really immersed in this special experience. It was a chance to learn and connect with a community dedicated to personal development and spirituality. It's an experience I will carry with me.

“It was an incredible experience with immense learning! Amrit is exceptionally attentive to every detail, helping us in every way he could and making sure we were as comfortable as possible until the very last minute. He gave us an amazing introduction to yoga and Kundalini teachings, which was an invaluable lesson for me! I'll cherish this experience as my first with Worldpackers, holding it close to my heart!”
