IN THE CENTER OF THE

From the top of the “Monte”, the owners of Monte Velho Eco Retreats become conscious of the vast natural space around them, 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, as humans, 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. If you have worked on meditation you will understand the need for peace when you begin to learn your own personal technique, now this may well begin as time in a room, door shut and outside influences closed out, but the very best way to discover the art of reconnection is through nature. Just stopping and focusing into the sounds around you will enable you to move into the flow with ease, you will actually be amazed at how loud nature is, you have probably not noticed this for awhile, “normal” life

does this to you, it shuts down your natural senses. Here is a beautiful destination, designed to live in harmony with nature, a true eco destination where retreats are held and where others can come and hold their own retreats. You can read a great deal about the eco practices at www.montevelhoecoretreats.com/ philosophy but it is a continual learning process with new ideas being implemented all the time. It is a perfect tool to demonstrate to others what can be achieved using the tools that Mother Nature gives us.
