From the top of the “Monte”, we become consciousness of the vast natural space around us, the strength of the elements in the region and the overwhelming beauty of one of the most, or perhaps last, secret places in the world. The Ocean, the trees and hills, the animals and humans, one vision that puts us in the very center of the continuous beautiful and mighty universal cycles. Once a rural tourism center, Monte Velho has grown into its true essence and purpose as an Eco Retreat Center. A space to appreciate and bring to life the natural beauty of the environment and a chance to have a real and empowering experience, our connection to our roots and a way to discover our true nature.

Rihannon -  ALL THE WAY IN REUNION

30-8th June

 

Rihannon is a vocal artist with a vision of music as a vehicle for innovation, healing, transformation, and social change.

 

 

 

Rihannon -  ALL THE WAY IN (mastery level program)

10-18th June

 

ALL THE WAY IN has been a major landmark in my learning about this craft called improvisational singing. The sharing of knowledge, tools and unique perspectives by the participants is a valuable adjunct to the course materials themselves. I have made lifelong friends with whom I am sure to collaborate, in the future. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about vocal improvisation.

Take a break and reconnect. Together we embrace nature, dive into the ocean and meet within a lovely community.
Invite yourself to find peace in daily morning meditation, to breathe deeply in a mindful yoga practise (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga), to enjoy our delicious gatherings around a buffet of healthy homemade food and to simply be and explore the beautiful surroundings of Monte Vehlo - walking new paths, taking heartful movements on the oceans floor in your daily surf lessons and chilling in your hammok with ocean view.
