MEET THE INSTRUCTOR

Maria Miguel Ribeiro PhD

Helping People to Feel the joy of a quiet mind

My search for peace and silence started in 2010. I longed for peace and liberation from the oppression of my own mind. The journey lead me to meet to study with great masters.

The timeless wisdom shared by these masters and their lineage of teachers inspired and transform my own life. From an academic researcher working on sustainability to become an avid practitioner of yoga and meditation.

Today i am passionate about sharing these teachings. I inspire seekers to discover the bliss of a quiet mind and the pure inner joy that results from this work.
