"I love to meditate, walk in nature and enjoy an almost monastic life. In Little Paradise we hold a place, a space, an "energy" or "atmosphere" and a lifestyle that can be very supportive for people wanting to reconnect with the Source, with themselves, with nature, or the stillness inside. We offer retreats throughout the year and the residents and the small group of guests from around the world form a loose ever-changing community that can be supportive for the retreat process."
Maria hosts retreats with nature, stillness, and meditation.
Our retreats are always "individual retreats" -- meaning that we provide a framework, but the guests are basically following their own needs.
The place provides:
- a beautiful place and surrounding,
- morning and evening group meditations (participation is always optional),
- retreat guidance (one-on-one talks up to once per day),
- retreat schedule (as a compass about how to spend you time --- but you can also just do your own thing.)
- high-quality organic vegetarian food,
- an "atmosphere" that helps you to reconnect.
Guests have said:
"Little Paradise truly lives up to its name. It is indeed a Paradise."
"The best thing about Little Paradise is not the clean and comfortable rooms; nor the beautiful, secluded garden. ... The best thing about Little Paradise is the peace it can wrap you in. ... This guest house is truly unique and exceptional for this reason."
"The retreat week was one of the best weeks in my life."
"... being there for 3 weeks was very nourishing for the soul, recharged my batteries and got clear answers to what was necessary to be answered. ... A place that i can recommend from the bottom of my heart!"
"Life-changing place."
"...I would say the best experience is always beyond words. You don't need to find peace, peace finds you here:)"
