About retreat

ENGLISH

Did you know that 95% of our decisions are unconscious?
Would you like to make more conscious decisions and cultivate calm and tranquility in your life?
Do you feel the need to find greater inner peace and practice mindfulness?

We often see difficult situations as enemies, but beyond appearances, they are an invitation to transform—to change the patterns that often harm us and those around us. It is possible to walk with serenity in the midst of the storm, by understanding and transforming daily chaos.

This is what this retreat is about. Through three days of silence and the practice of mindfulness—combined with Buddhist teachings on meditation, the inner workings of the mind, and seeing clearly what truly matters—you will return home able to navigate daily life with inner peace and calm, even in the face of challenges.

Buddha taught about the existence of suffering, pointing to dissatisfaction, desire, and the clinging to a self-existent “I” as the forces that fuel this cycle of pain. But he also gave us hope: that we can free ourselves from this cycle of suffering and attain liberation.

The profound Buddhist texts we will explore speak of the inner dialogue between good and evil within our own minds. They reveal the many traps that deceive us—making us believe we’re thinking and acting in helpful ways when, in truth, we are often led astray, creating realities and experiences that bring us pain.
These teachings will help you unravel the mind’s seductive arguments and release long-held burdens.

 


WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

Buddhist teachings that will open your mind and heart
Three days of deep retreat and personal transformation

ESPAÑOL

Con frecuencia pensamos en las situaciones difíciles como enemigas pero más allá de lo que parecen son una invitación a transformarte, a cambiar los patrones que la mayoría de veces nos perjudican y perjudican a los demás. Se puede caminar con serenidad en medio de la tormenta, entendiendo y transformado el caos cotidiano.

 


Y de esto trata este retiro, a través del silencio durante los tres días y la practica de la atención plena combinada con las enseñanzas budistas que escucharás sobre la meditación, el funcionamiento interno de la mente y ver con claridad lo que realmente es importante, al volver a tu casa podrás navegar a través de la paz y calma interior en cada momento que se te presente en el día a día por muy desafiante que sea. Buda enseño sobre la existencia del sufrimiento, señalando como la insatisfacción , el deseo y el aferramiento a un yo auto existente alimentan este ciclo de dolor.

Pero nos da la esperanza que podemos liberarnos de este ciclo de sufrimiento y alcanzar la liberación.

 


Los textos budistas profundos de estos días nos hablan del diálogo entre el bien y el mal que tiene lugar en nuestra propia mente y nos revelaran las diferentes trampas en que nos engaña haciéndonos creer que estamos pensando y actuando de una manera que realmente nos ayuda cuando en realidad, con demasiada frecuencia nos lleva por mal camino creando realidades y experiencias que nos causan dolor. Estas enseñanzas te ayudarán a desentrañar los argumentos seductores de la propia mente liberando las cargas que llevas desde hace mucho tiempo.

 

QUE VAS A VIVIR

Enseñanzas budistas que abrirán tu mente y tu corazón.

Tres días de retiro profundo y transformación personal.

Practicas y herramientas que complementarán tu visión de la vida.

Aprenderás a transformar el caos en sabiduría.

3 Day Vipassana Silent Meditation Retreat (in Spanish), in Spain

25213 Sant Antolí i Vilanova, Lleida, Spain

Mind is quite cluttered and "busy". Wanted to try to slow things down a bit and get some clarity. I was interested in silent meditation in principle. This retreat looked like it would provide the right environment (long enough but not too long/serious) and be a good introduction for someone like me. Came in quite open-minded in terms of outcomes. Ideally, I would be able to calm my mind a bit and come up with more durable approaches that I can follow for the long term. It certainly delivered! Maria's care and hospitality (in all respects) were truly outstanding

I Would Strongly Recommend I have chosen to join a meditation retreat at a moment in my life when I was feeling to reconnect with my inner self. I have chosen Maria's retreat because she offered Vipassana meditation and a weekend of silence. Maria is a warm and welcoming person and she will give you the foundations of Tibetan Buddhism. If you are looking for a short but still escape from life and for deep introspection I would strongly recommend joining Maria to her retreats.

Thank you for everything, Maria!! It was incredible. I’ve learned a lot about Buddha, myself, meditation, and silence. I will definitely go to a 5-day retreat before committing to a 10-day one! Thank you for organizing everything and showing us how to practice properly. I loved the teachings and the literature about Buddha... At home, I will read much more on the subject. A hug

Éste retiro fue muy agradable, profundo, libre de crítica, cómodo y muy muy interesante para el crecimiento espiritual y mental. Las enseñanzas fueron introductorias y a la vez profundas, con suficiente tiempo para procesar y meditar. La casa de retiro era muy pacífica, limpia, bien organizada, con bellos jardines para caminar, meditar y relajar. La comida era casera y muy rica.

My best meditation retreat so far The place was sooo nice and I felt at home immediately. The garden where the nuns grow their own vegetables was a beautiful place to reflect and walk around. Maria's teachings were very inspiring, practical and really helped me to improve my meditation practice and to deepen my knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism. I would recommend this retreat to anybody who wants to start or go deeper with their meditation practice and have three beautiful days reflecting on life. Maria is a great teacher and a very inspiring loving person

Honestly, I feel different after finishing the retreat. I didn’t know I could gain control over my mind and through meditation, I believe I have made significant progress. Maria explains why it is so important to meditate and she does it very well. Many times, we hear about meditation but don’t really understand its meaning and usefulness. I deeply thank Maria for everything I learned this weekend, and I recommend everyone to take this retreat.
