Mandala Banana Workshop for children

^{We start right on the small stone beach in Paul do Mar, the little fishing village on the south coast of Madeira. Here we arrive and talk for a moment about mindfulness and enjoy the sound of the sea with a little breathing exercise. Each child can now look for a small lucky stone on the beach, which we put in our bag to paint later. Then we start our little journey through the secret paths in the banana plantations. I share my knowledge about banana cultivation and let myself be bombarded with questions, which I hope I can answer.

With a bit of luck, water may even be flowing through one of the levadas. Since the paths through the banana plantations are a real insider tip, they are not always well-maintained, and we sometimes have to go cross-country over hill and dale. But we are guaranteed not to meet anyone – except perhaps a few locals who work in the banana plantations, or a few local dogs who like to follow me. Afterwards, we stop at a cozy rest area where you can try the sweet bananas from Madeira and then, refreshed, we paint our lucky stone. The stone will accompany you on your journey and hopefully bring you lots of luck.}

Hiking in Madeira with your dog: Kitty goes hiking

^{A very special hike with a special guide.}

^{We meet at the Sol e Mar restaurant and start our hike with a short walk through the village.}^{Then begins the steep climb towards Raposeira. The path is wild, steep, and slippery in places—but the higher we climb, the more impressive the view of Paul do Mar becomes.

Kitty walks ahead, sometimes disappearing for a while, but always returning to check if we can keep up. She leads us through fields and meadows as we enjoy the silence, breathe in the fresh air, and discover the variety of flowers. Finally, we reach Raposeira, where old houses and friendly locals await us, always open for a little chat.

Our path takes us along a levada for a while before we switch to a newly constructed path towards Fajã da Ovelha. The views are simply spectacular! Then we walk a short distance along the road – Kitty, now reluctantly on a leash, acts as if she hasn’t taken a single step.

Finally, we reach the starting point of our descent from Fajã da Ovelha to Paul do Mar. In the warm sun, we walk downhill, always towards the sea. Once at the bottom, the water invites us to swim or enjoy a cool drink at the Bar da Praia. Kitty is greeted enthusiastically by the locals – and is still full of energy!}

Banana Tour Madeira Paul do Mar

^{Imagine visiting a small fishing village on Madeira called Paul do Mar. Here, you not only have the opportunity to stroll along the sea, but also to discover the village from above, between the banana plantations. These paths along the levadas are actually only used by locals to get to their plantations and water the bananas, and are definitely an insider tip. I guarantee you’ll be impressed by the play of colors along the mountains and over the sea—it’s hard to decide which is more beautiful. Finally, we stop off at Bar de Pedra, a bar so special that even the locals from Funchal come here to enjoy the sunset with a drink.}

Meditation Hike Madeira

^{We begin in Paul do Mar with a short meditation session accompanied by the sound of the sea in the background, allowing us to settle in and prepare ourselves mentally for the meditation hike. Then we begin our ascent: 600 meters of elevation gain and a 20% incline up to Fajã de Ovelha. Step by step, we climb the mountain, breathing, pausing, marveling—and getting closer not only to our destination, but also to ourselves.

During the ascent, it remains pleasantly shady at first, but on the last few meters of elevation, the sun greets us from behind the mountain. Once at the top, we enjoy the vastness of the ocean and the view of Paul do Mar – with a smile on our faces and perhaps a few beads of sweat on our foreheads.

After the quiet ascent, we take time to talk and share how we experienced the climb. Then you can decide whether to hike back down the same way or take the less traveled road. Both routes offer you the opportunity to feel the warming sun as you leisurely return to the sea.

Once you reach the bottom, depending on your mood, the weather, and the water conditions, you have a choice: jump into the crystal-clear sea or treat yourself to a well-deserved breakfast, for example at Villa Amore.}

Mandala Dot Workshop

^{Surrounded by banana plantations, the mountains and the sea, you arrive and familiarize yourself with your chosen stone and the dot technique.}

^{We start with a short chakra meditation that addresses our seven main energy channels in the body. We perceive and feel inside ourselves without any expectations. The body usually has a lot to say, we just have to take the time to listen. We then intuitively select the colors and start to create our personal mandala tailored to the moment using the dot tool. Accompanied by relaxing music, let your imagination run wild. You will then be given an overview of the seven chakras and their meanings so that you can reflect once again on which energy channels may have been particularly active and what you will take away from the workshop today. Maybe you didn’t feel much during the meditation – that’s perfectly fine. Because there’s one thing you’ll definitely be taking with you: your self-designed mandala dot stone.}

^{Water and tea are provided.}
