Welcome to Casa Maranders and Life from the Light side! - Spirit, Joy and Creative Arts -     On the red cliffs, overlooking the sea, just outside the lovely little town of Lagos in the Algarve, Portugal, we´re happy to welcome you to our small creative wellness and retreat center. Being close to the sky, close to the sea, yet well grounded in this beautiful house with its beautiful surroundings it´s a place that perfectly fits with the theme for our work and vision - Life from the light side.     Seing life from this angle sounds easy, but it usually doesn´t come without an effort. So, here we focus on seing, or trying to find, the good sides of life, and the good sides in ourselves. And bringing them out - our good abilities - the ones we know of, and the ones we might not even know we have.  We believe most of us are already well aquiented with our faults, fears and weaknesses - it´s the opposite sides, the light sides like love,  joy, compassion, creativity, harmony, inner peace and oneness that we need to learn more about. Bring out and try to make stay.       Here are some of the fields we work in:    Art therapy Expressive and Creative arts Art - The techniques Vedic Art Dance Dance therapy Yoga Meditation     We who hold private counsellings or are involved  with anything that has a pronounced therapeutic angle are all professionel teachers, therapists or psychoterapists.       Now you can take part of this in various ways.
