“I had been so hesitant to get in touch with myself because I was worried about what I would find within but it ended up being a really lovely time to discover who I really was. It was one of the most potent times of spiritual growth that I've ever had… I came out of it a better, more balanced person than I was before.” - Sophia, from Texas, USA

TESTIMONIALS

“Rimi really help me look at some profound questions and issues I have been working on...I gained clarity with her mindfulness exercises and appreciated her including somatic body based healing into the course." - Catherine, Biz owner + social worker
"The grounds and accommodation are spectacular. It was such a treat to enjoy the locally and home sourced and prepared breakfast and meals. The onsite yoga studio is a bonus with such a high quality holistic yoga class offered by Rimi. Great tips on seeing some of São Miguel’s most beautiful spots." - Angela, from the UK
"I had great expectations of this visit to Minuvida, and they were surpassed beyond anything I could have imagined. The property is beyond stunning, from the beautiful gardens, serene nooks and crannies, and the yoga studio to the property itself, which was spacious and beautifully decorated. There is so much to do on the island, but I would have been happy spending all my days there. The food was heavenly. One of the best trips of my life...And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the adorable dogs and cats, who also were gracious, funny, and kind co-hosts." - Kelly from NY, USA ​
