EL PORTAL DE LOS OMBUES.
It is a place of great beauty, quietness and
un-polluted Nature, situated in the hills of Minas, Lavalleja, in Uruguay.
The “Portal” gives us the possibility to re-discover and enjoy Real Life. One can observe the changes that happen along
the day, with its lights and shadows and then watch the night sky full of stars
and a very bright moon. All the wonders
that we have almost forgotten, because
we are unable to see them in the cities anymore.
This place needs to be lived in awareness, timelessly,
and letting go of our worries and everyday activities. At least for a few hours. The quietness and peace
will
soon make us more perceptive and each moment can be
lived more fully and attentively.
The “Portal” will
help us to become conscious of the fact that we share life with all the beings
that surround us: trees, animals and humans.
We can observe their daily activities and learn from each one.
One can choose to have an active day: helping in the vegetable garden, or taking a
hike to see some of the animals or
visiting the water spring and the stream.
Or a day of total relax under de centenary trees or drinking a tea and
enjoying the view from the windows of the lounge.
The basic idea of “El Portal de los Ombúes” is that
each person will be able to enjoy in his own way the beauty and silence of the
place and through this experience regain contact with himself and awareness of
the surrounding life.
Different activities will develop in the flow of daily
life: Yoga, meditation, watching some
videos and sharing our interest about the great human opportunity we call life,
listening to a violin concert, or sharing in the pottery creations.
When we eventually leave and slowly descend from the
“Portal de los Ombúes”, we will return to our everyday life, but hopefully we
will take within us the peace and quiet we experienced and a heart that beats harmoniously and feels
fuller and happier.
