Details

Meditation & Flora is an intimate one-day retreat created to help you slow down, quiet the mind and reconnect with yourself through meditation and the living presence of nature. Held in the peaceful surroundings of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, just a few kilometres from the ocean, the experience combines guided meditation, sensory awareness and mindful connection with flowers and plants. Throughout the day, you will be invited to step away from daily demands, become more present in your body and explore the natural world with greater attention and curiosity. No previous meditation experience is required. With a small group and a calm, welcoming setting, Meditation & Flora offers space to breathe, restore your energy and return home feeling more grounded, clear and connected.

Testimonials

I always look forward to Sunday because it's at this meditation where I get ready to start the week. That's what Alexandra's meditation is all about for me. It's amazing how after the session I feel more in tune with myself. It has a special message for me, such profound guided meditations that bring incredible imagery that Alexandra then puts in words that make so much sense, you have a gift Alexandra, I really appreciate you and am grateful I came across you.

Nanda, Portugal

With Alexandra, I was taken on a magical journey through my past, present, and future. I discovered parts of myself I had never known but instantly connected with. I also encountered aspects I didn’t understand at the time, but months later, they began to manifest. Everything makes so much sense, even if it’s not immediately clear in the moment. Receiving such valuable insights through a facilitator who is so loving, calm, and deeply connected can only result in an incredible experience!

Lara, Mozambique

Alexandra, on behalf of all us here. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have such a sweet, caring, loving energy about you and this has been amazing. Thank you for your service and gift. Always.

Anna, Spain

Alexandra's work is truly extraordinary and professional. I felt a significant difference after each session, and her thoughtful and attentive approach made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking energetic realignment, a sense of renewal, and a deeper understanding and awareness of their individual process
