Meet your Retreat Host
Your hostess in an oasis of calm
Cindy, the inspirer of Seeds of Silence, has long traveled the world. It was her way of escaping the hustle and bustle of life and finding herself again. During her travels, Cindy has experienced the healing impact of a quiet, warm, friendly and spacious environment on her well-being and health. She now wants to share this experience with you. Cindy spent years searching for the appropriate location for a safe haven. Eventually she landed in the Algarve, the beautiful sunny region in Portugal. A place that welcomes you with its warm climate, beautiful nature and relaxed lifestyle.
A blessing in disguise
Meeting Cindy today, you would never guess that she was still racing through life 10 years ago. Together with her husband Nico, she ran a successful motorcycle business until disaster struck in 2015. A short circuit caused the business and their home to go up in flames. ‘A defining moment.’ The entrepreneurial couple did not sit back and soon a new business was resurrected. Cindy now sees the fire as a new opportunity. A blessing in disguise. In fact, in addition to the motorcycle business, she had another passion: yoga and meditation. Cindy began teaching yoga classes and built her own practice as a holistic life coach. Together with other coaches, she organized her first retreats. Soon after, she started dreaming about opening her own luxury retreat center abroad. In 2019, Cindy bought her own B&B in the Algarve. Today, Seeds of Silence symbolizes beauty, silence and peace.
