We stay at a nice, clean pousada (motel/hotel), which is quiet and comfortable, not far from the Casa. Each room has a private bathroom with shower. Laundry service is available. Internet access and computer are available. The meals are excellent, with lots of delicious fresh fruits and vegetables and plenty of variety for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans.
Tour Fees
The fee for a fully-guided 12-day tour is US$2000 per adult and US$1200 per child under age 13.
Package 2 - Guiding You Solely in Abadiania
We live in Abadiania half the year. When we are residing there we offer this second option.
This method is for you to do ALL the "getting there" work on your own, including reserving and paying for your pousada room, and simply book us well prior to your arrival, to guide you once you get to Abadiania.
The Casa has set the price of $US700 for two weeks for
guides who live in Abadiania, which includes a thorough explanation visit with you on Tuesday, orientation at the Casa and personal, individual guidance and support on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with translators, when you see John of God and as you follow his directives.
Because we work as a team, you are getting two guides for the price of one!
During your stay you have up to 6 opportunities each week to pass by John of God. You will receive guidance
about what resources the Casa has to offer in your physical healing process as well as your growth on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Using us as guides allows you to remain focused on your healing and inner work.
We will be living in Abadiania from Oct 1st to Dec 31st, 2012.
