Self - Love Retreat

Quelfes, Portugal

Discover Your Perfect Retreat

Have you ever been told to be kinder to yourself? To prioritize self-love before being able to truly love someone else? But let's be honest—what does that really mean?

Self-love isn't something that just appears overnight; it's a journey, a collection of small but meaningful steps. Love doesn’t look the same for everyone. Even in relationships, love manifests in different ways—sometimes it’s caring for someone, other times, it’s trusting them to stand on their own.

We all have parts of ourselves we struggle with—things we wish were different. But we also have parts we’re proud of! This retreat is about embracing all aspects of yourself with compassion.

Our personalities consist of different parts, and you can hear it in the way we speak: "A part of me really wants this, but another part is holding back."

The way these parts interact plays a huge role in your happiness.

At our NLP & Self-Love Retreat, you'll have the chance to define what self-love means for you. You’ll learn how to build trust, understanding, and connection between all parts of yourself—so they work together instead of against each other.

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.
