House of meditation and Yoga

Macara is a place to meet and share. Everyone can feel at ease, escape the stresses of daily life in rest and silence.

Macara is a place for daily meditation and yoga for individuals and couples, and for all kinds of group seminars, workshops, courses and retreats. Here you'll find a peaceful atmosphere and enjoy unspoilt nature and views of the nearby mountains.

Macara is an old 18th-century farmhouse, renovated with charm and class. There are 7 bedrooms with 15 beds, a practice room, a large kitchen and a dining room.

 

We are an open house where meditation and yoga are practiced daily.

Anyone can come, even with no prior knowledge, according to schedule and availability.

There is unguided meditation in the morning and evening, and a traditional yoga lesson in the afternoon in the hall.

For silent meditations outside in nature, where you can also say hello and goodbye to the sun, we have a large platform with a beautiful view of the park behind the house.

Yvonne is a trained yoga teacher with years of experience in meditation (Vipassana). She learned traditional yoga in India, where she lived for many years.

Participation in meditation and yoga is free. Donations are welcome.

We have a bright room on the second floor with parquet flooring, about 8 by 8 meters, with a beautiful view of the park.  

We propose two vegetarian meals a day, an early lunch around 12 noon and an early dinner around 6 pm. This gives an interval of around 17 hours (intermittent fasting). Between the two, there are snacks and nuts for the little hungers.

A main meal (starter, main course, dessert) costs €15.

The quality of the food is very important to us. We are here to spoil you and offer different types of cuisine, according to your wishes and dietary requirements. We use local produce (organic market gardeners in the neighborhood), most of it organically grown. We welcome your suggestions! For dietary menus (vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, etc.) where we have to prepare additional menus, we charge a supplement of €1 per meal.

 We came to the Ariège because of the magnificent scenery and the high quality of life. After we acquired Macara and got married here, we now want to utilise our exaltation combined with our life's experience to share this place of quietude with others. It is our vital concern to create space, so everyone can discover,unfold and liberate one's own creartivitiy.

Daniel brings practical experience in the construction business, the social work and tourism industry.

Yvonne, the much-travelled , former nurse is involved with the study of Yoga and Meditation since many years,and lately  also acupuncture.
