Testimonials

Guest Voices

Quinta da Libélula is truly a hidden gem tucked away in the beautiful Portuguese mountains. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the high spiritual energy of the place—perfect for healing, self-discovery, and growth.
During my time here, I not only deepened my personal journey but also made meaningful connections and gained friends for life. The experience helped me grow as a person and step into adulthood with more clarity and strength.
The kitchen deserves a special mention—every meal was deeply nourishing, thoughtfully prepared, and adapted to all kinds of preferences. It felt like every bite carried the same love
and care that defines the retreat as a whole. I can honestly say I had the time of my life at Libélula. It is a place that transforms, uplifts, and stays with you long after you leave.

- Much love, Nandi

You are invited to let the shooting stars, dragon flies and sacred trees take you to a new
dimension. Quinta da Libelula is a magnetic, magical space in which profound energy renewal
and deep ancestral healing occurs. From the cold pool to the ceremonial space to the ancient
forest, a short time staying in Quinta da Libelula is equal to months of vacations and therapeutic
sessions, culminating in soul alignmnet.

I experienced the opening of my heart again. A soft, undeniable unfolding. This morning I woke with a calm clarity, a deep knowing that I am walking the right path. Not because it is without challenge, but because it is alive with meaning, joy, and truth. A grounded confidence settled in my bones, and with it, a quiet voice inside simply said, you are home.
There is peace in my body now, and a lightness I hadn’t realized I was yearning for. This time, I don’t feel the need to chase answers. I trust where I’m being led. To those who held the space with presence, with grace, and with unwavering care, thank you. And to those who walked beside me, thank you for your courage, your tenderness, your truth.
May the clarity stay. May the heart stay open. And may we each keep walking with gentleness, strength, and trust into the becoming of who we truly are.

„Happiness is your own nature hence, it is not wrong to desire it,
„What is wrong is to seek it outside because this is inside“ – Ramana Maharishi

About us

Hi, I´m Tae Ho Kim

founder of Libélula Retreat Center

— my heart project.

After a decade of learning from indigenous wisdom
keepers of Latin America and the yogic traditions of India
and Tibet, I felt called to create a space where people can
unblock their blockages and unveil their veils.

My dream is simple yet profound: to nurture a world
filled with more conscious, joyful beings living their
most authentic, empowered selves.
