In this house

This is a home where we cultivate a school and practices for caring for the body and its psycho-emotional landscapes. We open pathways back to deep ecology and the organic time that dwells within our biology—to a sense of belonging within an ecosystem. Here, we awaken artistic expression as a way to inhabit the poly-crises of modern culture, creating possibilities for resilience.

We host seasonal training programs and immersions that invite deep listening and sensitive presence as acts of repair. We offer time to rest from a productivity-driven culture, awakening the imagination and slow creation as resources for feeling, inhabiting one’s own skin, and connecting with the collective. We gather in circles so that every journey is co-created with kindness and consent, restoring a sense of community to modern individualism, fostering connection where there was a divide between humans and nature and offering the body expressive languages that nourish, structure and revitalize.

Here, you can join practice groups and teacher training in meditation, creative labs exploring body, dance and voice, a seasonal journey of re-signification and creation centered on grief, therapeutic support and immersive residencies that nurture life transitions.

Meditation House Porto is an Ursa Parda project—an invitation to practice and learning amidst the stone, water and root places of the Leça River’s Valley, in Porto, Portugal. It is a space dedicated to care the human-nature rift and weaving ways to return, integrate and belong to our territories.

Team

Nuno Miguel Teixeira

Integrative meditation teacher and researcher into breathwork and the support of psycho-emotional landscapes; creator of the educational, therapeutic, and community projects Meditation House Porto and Ursa Parda.

For 15 years, he has been exploring potential pathways connecting meditation, breathwork, nervous system co-regulation and new ways of inhabiting the body, places, and relationships within modern societies. Facilitating practice groups and teacher training courses, circles for mindful and creative masculine presence, breathwork study groups and journeys dedicated to holding space for individual, community, and ecological grief. He co-created Ursa Parda as both an invitation to practice and a school situated in the native woodlands, stone, and waters of the Leça Valley, Porto—a project to care the human-nature modern break and weave together ways of returning to belonging and caring for the land.

His work is grounded in an academic background in Economics and Sports Sciences, as well as a professional career in business management. He is the author of the books A Prova do José (Chiado, 2017) and Volição: a Vida como Meditação (Moonlight, 2026), both of which explore themes of social and cultural questioning.

Inês de Araújo e SIlva

A body educator, an eco-somatic movement teacher, and a researcher in artistic communication and bioregional land-based practices.

She is deeply attuned to the territories of her origins—Minho—and her current home—Douro Litoral—weaving connections with the ancestral heritage that defines the Iberian Peninsula, including matriarchal communities rooted in care and a sacred bond with the land.

She is a passionate creator of educational, therapeutic, and community projects that foster a return to ancient wisdom—embracing deep, ritualistic, artistic and medicinal relationships with the cosmology of the land. These initiatives serve as acts of collective resilience and offer a way to imagine new modes of inhabiting both the body and the earth amidst a modern culture defined by intersecting political, social, and cultural crises.

Artistic expression serves as a language of communal regeneration in her work, addressing a deeply individualized society while acknowledging the interdependence between humans and the more-than-human world, as well as the interplay of grief and enchantment in an era of vanishing wild biomes.
