About this Retreat
Your Guides
Ay Lin completed an extensive mindfulness course at Radboud University in the Netherlands, with over 100 hours of guided practice. During the COVID period, she deepened her experience by completing an online mindfulness certification as well.
Health and well-being have always been part of her path. She began by sharing knowledge about nutrition and mindful eating, in her book Healthy & Happy Without Diets. In her younger years, she also worked as a sports instructor — a reflection of her lifelong dedication to balanced living.
Today, her focus is on mindful living at a slower, more natural pace. Through walking the Caminho in Portugal (she is the expert on all caminho's in Portugal). and guiding gentle mindfulness practices, Ay Lin supports others in reconnecting with themselves. Sharing health wisdom; physical, emotional, and spiritual, is part of her ongoing mission: to help others live a Healthy & Happy life, from the inside out.

Getting Here
Casa da Lima, Canto da Ribeira de Baixo 25, Ribeira de Alcamalouque, Portugal
Directions
Casa da Lima is conveniently located between Porto and Lisbon, near Coimbra. If you're driving, simply follow the IC2 towards Porto or Lisbon, depending where you land. For those using public transport, frequent buses run to Coimbra. From the airport, take the metro to the bus or train station, then continue to Coimbra. Because we are in a tiny village, we offer pick-up and drop-off in Coimbra for an extra fee, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey. If you need help with finding bus tickets from the airport to Coimbra, we will help out.

The locations are original, somewhere in nature. In these guided meditations, we draw strength from nature. Standing firm like a mountain or finding stillness like a tranquil lake. Practicing in front of towering peaks and beside flowing water strengthens the impact. And being on top of a mountain makes you stronggg!
