Vedic Meditation in Lisbon

Learning in person in Lisbon

The Vedic Hybrid Course starts with a private one-to-one with Sam in Lisbon, where you receive your personal mantra and can meditate on your own straight away. Three short recorded lessons follow over the first five days, then a second one-to-one a week or two later. Either one-to-one can also be taken live over video if your week will not hold still.

Vedic meditation is effortless. There is no concentrating, no clearing your mind, no doing it wrong. You sit comfortably for around twenty minutes, twice a day, and the technique does the settling for you. It suits busy, sceptical people who have bounced off breathing apps and guided tracks.

Retreats near Lisbon

Once you have learned, Soma runs small Vedic meditation retreats at a secluded quinta around thirty to forty minutes from Lisbon airport. Days of rounding, gentle yoga, breathwork and home-cooked Ayurvedic food, in a place built for rest. You can learn during the retreat itself if you prefer. See the retreats page for what a day looks like.
