The food

Sattvic, seasonal, from the garden

Nourishing homemade meals crafted with organic ingredients — straight from our garden and locally sourced — embodying a philosophy of conscious, anti-inflammatory eating that supports both physical well-being and the reflective journey.

Rooted in the sattvic vegetarian approach, our kitchen brings balance, simplicity and natural harmony, adapted to women's bodies and to the winter season. Each dish is prepared to ground and sustain you, promote clarity, and keep you centred throughout your time with us.

The place

Ananda Kalyani

A spiritually rooted, nature-centered eco-village and retreat project in Central Portugal, nestled in the scenic landscapes near the Serra da Estrela Natural Reserve. It integrates spiritual life, regenerative living, community development and connection to the land into a living, evolving environment that welcomes all who arrive with an open heart.

The land comprises pastoral valleys, private river access, woodland, orchards and natural gardens.

Susana

the sun — a ball of fire and joy

With a long background in hospitality and people development, Susana's path has always been rooted in human experience.

As a yoga teacher and therapist, her work explores movement, breath, touch, and the relationship we build with our bodies.

With a heart of gold, she believes it is in our darkest moments that we may find “the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves, that can never, ever be dimmed”. Susana is the embodied fierceness.
