My name is Joanice Barbosa Parmigiani. I was at the Ashram at the beginning of 2023 for ten days of meditation and silence. Yes, I found this grace, I had a transcendent experience, and even today (November 2025) everything I lived at the Ashram still resonates deeply within me.
I am immensely grateful, and I will return soon to dive once again into the transformative silence of meditation.
Gratitude, gratitude, and more gratitude!
A loving embrace to all.

My silent meditation retreat at Cidade dos Anjos was simply fantastic. I have done another retreat before, which was also good, but here at Cidade dos Anjos everything felt different, the immersion was much deeper. I am still feeling the insights resonating within me. I will definitely return for another course.
My thanks to the entire team for everything shared. Gratitude.

This is the third Meditation and Silence retreat I’ve done, and each time it becomes deeper and more challenging as my inner issues inevitably surface. Here, I have this opportunity that is so generously offered to us. Everyone works with dedication so we can reach our goal.
Master Narayana shares guidance and teachings with great kindness and wisdom.
I am very happy to have completed another 10-day retreat, and I’m already planning to return in 2026.
The 10-day retreat was a transformative experience.
I was able to quiet my mind and reflect deeply on the need to improve my discipline.
The first days were challenging, especially with the back pain, but gradually the discomfort faded.
The Cidade dos Anjos Ashram revealed itself to be a truly magical and sacred place, with a very spiritual atmosphere.
The vegan food was wonderful, prepared with so much love.
I am very happy with this experience and wish to return for new journeys.
