Vedic Meditation in Lisbon

Learning in person in Lisbon

The Vedic Hybrid Course runs over five days: two private one-to-one sessions with Sam either side of three short teaching sessions. You receive your personal mantra in the first session and can meditate on your own straight away. Sessions take place in Lisbon, and the one-to-one parts 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.
