Many people take vacations.
Very few give themselves enough time to truly transform.

Finding your path begins with something simple — and deeply challenging: stopping.

Our 28-day retreat in La Palma, created by Master Dhiravamsa, offers a space dedicated to inner awakening through ancient teachings inspired by the Buddha’s sutras.

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make it possible for the Vipassana silent meditation retreat in Gran Canaria to continue.

Las Tederas has welcomed us every year since 2014 during Carnival, offering a space for stillness and silence. From there, each person—alone yet supported by the presence of others—can dedicate themselves to inner work: remembering the simplicity and depth of living in the present moment, and allowing the process of letting go of everything that prevents us from being fully here, complicating or distorting perception, sensations, or thoughts.

Next meditation in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria this Sunday, February 8th at 10:00 a.m. at the Power Yoga center in La Puntilla.

A warm hug!!
Janine Jutima

Just a reminder that this Thursday, January 1, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. (Barcelona time), we will continue our online meditations with a New Year’s welcome meditation, to embrace and connect with the energy this new year brings. Thank you to everyone who has accompanied me once again on this journey of growth, exploration, and liberation. We continue our practice with joy and enthusiasm, honoring the legacy of Master Dhiravamsa and remembering who we truly are.

With deep gratitude and loving mettā, I send you my best wishes, and may all the benefits of our practice be for the welfare of all sentient beings.

Throughout 2025, numerous online gatherings were held, reaffirming our commitment to practice and the well-being of all beings, including ourselves.

Today marks 91 years since Dhiravamsa was born in a small village in northern Thailand. We continue to celebrate this day as a gift from the universe, honoring the memory of a Master who arrived and touched countless hearts. For this and so much more, he continues to inspire us with his joy and profound wisdom. May we all reach true bliss and happiness 🌸💞❤️

With hearts full of gratitude, we remember the seven-day Vipassana silent meditation retreat held in Córdoba from September 13 to 20, 2025. We shared a space of reflection and practice, where inner silence became our greatest teacher. These were simple yet profound days, devoted to observing, breathing, and returning again and again to the direct experience of the present moment.

We would like to give special recognition to Carmen, whose dedication and care in organizing the retreat made it possible for everything to unfold in harmony. Her quiet work, attentive to every detail, allowed the retreat to become a true space of calm, practice, and connection.

Once again, we celebrated the annual meditation retreat in Lleida from August 4 to 12, 2025 (9 days), with Janine Jutima, Guillermo Leyva, and Carmen Casamitjana. Many thanks to everyone who attended for your love and joy. May we continue our practice for the peace and harmony of all beings.

With boundless gratitude and loving mettā,
Janine Jutima

Once again, we celebrated the Vipassana meditation retreat in Haro (La Rioja) from April 17 to 27, 2025, surrounded by nature, with much stillness, silence, and loving mettā.

Infinite gratitude to all who participated, to Master Dhiravamsa, who continues to inspire and encourage us to keep practicing, to the organizers Lurdes and Isabel, and to the light that guides and accompanies us inward toward our original home ❤️❤️🌸🌸

May peace and harmony be for all.

Thank you to everyone who participated once again in the annual retreat during Carnival week in Gran Canaria, this year from March 1 to 9, 2025. It fills me with joy and love to remember everything we shared together through this photo. May we continue this noble practice of cleansing and purifying our bodies and minds, living life from the heart, and bringing light to every moment, every inhalation, and every exhalation.

With boundless loving mettā,
