The value of Stillness

​

• I believe that deep transformation requires not just intensive work, but also the grace of stillness. To maintain the quality of presence I bring to our sessions, I follow a personal discipline of quiet time and reflection during our intervals between activities.

• I deeply value these moments of silence as a way to recharge and integrate. I invite you to do the same, using these breaks for your own rest and contemplation. To honor this rhythm, I ask that we refrain from addressing therapeutic issues or do "small talk" during these personal periods or at the dinner table. By preserving the "space between," we ensure that when we do come together for our scheduled sessions, we both arrive with the clarity, energy, and intentionality that your journey deserves.​​​​​

• The therapeutic activities vary between 60 minutes per session to a maximum of 2 hours per workshop, where we do deep work as scheduled. Outside of that, the rest of the time is for your own integration, processing, and intentional silence.

• Because we are doing deep work, your nervous system will need a way to discharge energy. I require you to keep a Processing Journal or use some form of creative expression (walking, gentle exercise, breath-work, silent meditations, etc.) during your integration time.

House rules

​

• I encourage a SMOKING, DRUGS, and ALCOHOL-FREE environment. The designated smoking area is at the entrance gate and kindly do not throw your buds on the ground but use the trash.​

• Guests are not allowed to use the kitchen. All meals are served in the dining area - as self-service. You are free to eat on the terrace or in the living room. I may not always join you, as I follow a specific routine and diet. I also treat food as a blessing and am mindful of not wasting it, so I would appreciate it if we could be conscious of that together. Please let me know if you have any allergies!

• The community and house are safe however, I encourage you to keep your belongings in the room. I am not responsible for any lost or stolen items.

• If you need to do a load of laundry, please let me know. 

• I like keeping the space clean and organized to keep the energy flowing. When we don't have scheduled activities, I usually tidy up, focus on my online work, or relax outside. 

• The altar is my private, sacred space, so I ask that you please refrain from touching the objects on it. I also occasionally burn sage or palo santo to clear out energy.

• Leave the pool towels outside to be collected or to dry on the lounge chairs; please do not enter the house wet, make sure to dry off first.

• Use water mindfully as pressure is high, turn off lights and air conditioning when not needed, and embrace an eco-conscious lifestyle during your stay.

• All curtains open with the pull cord and the terrace screen door has a magnetic closure.

• If you cause any property damage, you will fully cover the cost of repairs or replacements. Treat this space with love as if it were your own.

• The egg chairs can support a maximum of 100 kg weight. 

• Love the neighborhood cats, but please don't let them inside, they carry ticks and other insects.

• Please refrain from using very strong-smelling perfumes, especially before entering a session.

• Recording sessions / workshops or any other services provided during your stay is strictly forbidden. 

• I suggest keeping your phone on silent and in your room during our activities or sessions together. You deserve some time for yourself!

• During breaks between activities, you can go for a walk, workout on the terrace, order an Uber to explore the surroundings or a beach, relax by the pool, unwind in a hammock with a book, or continue working on the exercises provided during our work together.

• House quiet time is from 9 pm to 7 am. 

• If you wake up early, feel free to be yourself and start your day. Keep in mind that if you go out for a walk, the main door opens only from inside. Keep the terrace door handle open (horizontal position) so you can re-enter through there.

• I strongly recommend disconnecting while you’re here, but if you need internet access, please scan the QR code located on the flyer.

• Enjoy your stay and if you need any information or tourist recommendation, please do not hesitate to ask me!​
