“There is a life, an existence, a way of being which is more loving, more precious and tender and fulfilling than my imagination could conjure up.
I have come to understand the true nature of love, all thanks to the vision and generosity and kindness of you both. I am your devoted friend.”
Michelle Hallahan
The Venue
Terramaya is an isolated, off-grid retreat centre on the middle of a moutainside in the heart of the Atlantic Rainforest!
Being there is an immersion in wild, pristine nature: pure air, clean water direct from the springs, waterfalls, swimming holes, rainforest. There is no road, no light, sound or air pollution, no mains electricity or phone service.
It is a magical opportunity to take a step back from the world of scrolling and screens, and experience inner and outer nature to the fullest.

“The light of your spirits shine so bright and allow me to feel like I can also shine.
Your compassion and generosity in each interaction inspire me to show myself the same compassion and acceptance and to allow it to flow like water from my soul to all souls.
Thank you, for this work, for your love, for your presence.”

FAQs
-
Don’t count on it! Terramaya is an off-grid centre, and there is very limited, solar-powered electricity available.
We suggest you bring other devices ie. torch, camera, watch etc so you are not dependent on your phone for these.

There is no phone service, and no internet available for guests.
Being offline is part of the retreat experience at Terramaya.
We will give you an emergency contact number that you can pass to your dear ones so they can contact you in case of any problems.
-
The sleeping cabins fit up to 4 people., with en-suite bathroom. While we make every effort to ensure that rooms are single-sex and that couples can go together without other roommates, sometimes this is simply not possible. If you wish to guarantee a private hut for yourself / you and your partner, please purchase 4 spots.

Note from Milli…
I’m so excited to welcome you to this land and this retreat!
This beautiful medicine has been so powerful in my own journey of inner growth.. that has connected me to states of the purest the love within, that has helped me navigate the challenges of life, has enriched my relationships and sense of purpose, and that have shown me the deeper truths of life.
And all this at Terramaya, the magical centre that my beloved and I, along with many friends, have poured our heart, soul and energy into over the last decade. Terramaya in itself is healing, and it’s an honour to share this land, this medicine and this work with you.
