According to the article, this place has a small organic vegetable farm, exotic fruit trees and a few areas to practice outdoor yoga. They also have many animals such as horses, goats, ducks and rabbits. “Only one guest at a time is allowed (for meditation), therefore an individual intense spiritual study is guaranteed and includes Tai Chi and Qigong, Chinese practices that consist in deep breathing and a serene state of mind,” describes the article.
