We Are Moving To Tulum, Mexico!
Opening Date: October 17th, 2025
What is The Essence?
Our Vision
Sharing the light of awareness with all beings, to support and be supported, now and for generations to come.
Our Mission
Creating a space where awareness, connection, and presence form the foundation of a conscious way of living.
Through daily practice, reflection and guidance, we cultivate clarity and resilience—supporting the journey of self-realization, self-transformation and a life in harmony.
About Us
We are grounded in slow living, sharing plant-based meals, and living close to nature and to ourselves. Life here is about being rather than doing.
We’ve cultivated a sanctuary where we can stay present, be conscious, develop self-awareness, and build emotional resilience.
Together we inquire into the nature of the mind to remember the root cause of our suffering and pain. By sharing our struggles and reactions openly, we bring clarity to doubts and find peace with who we are and each moment as it is.

Our Current Phase
Our community currently consists of five members plus a one-year-old.
We are currently based in the Portugal, where we focus on building our inner foundation and strengthening our connection through shared living and daily practice.
We host self-awareness retreats and welcome those interested in joining our conscious community. Whether for a short stay or a longer-term commitment, we invite you to grow stronger, connect deeply, and live with authenticity alongside us.
As we grow together, we envision settling on a piece of land in the coming years—a space to nurture a conscious way of life for generations to come, and stay awake.
