Ser Integral – Portuguese Center for Mindfulness was founded in 2007 under the name Projeto Mindfulness Ser Integral, becoming the first initiative in Portugal to offer mindfulness services in a secular context, integrated with Clinical Psychology care.
Over the years, following a natural process of growth and responding to the evolving needs of the community, Ser Integral has developed into a center for therapeutic practice, human development, and social action. Its work is grounded in mindfulness-based approaches, trauma-informed therapeutic interventions, and the cultivation of human capacities for self-care, regulation, and emotional development.
Our mission is to offer holistic and integrated services that support physical, emotional, and mental balance. We work from the understanding that each person is unique; therefore, our approach is person-centered, personalized, and attuned to the specific needs of each individual.
We believe that life is a continuous learning process across all dimensions of being. Living with balance and meeting life’s challenges with perseverance opens the way to ever-deeper levels of awareness and understanding—of ourselves, of others, and of life itself.
Ser Integral is a space where human accompaniment—both individual and collective—seeks to weave a network of care, presence, ethics, and development in service of the community. Our work unfolds across multiple areas, yet is rooted in a single shared purpose: to create safe spaces where each person can reconnect with themselves, restore a sense of presence and authenticity, and recognize themselves as part of a collective “we.” This is a movement that contributes to a more truthful, humane world, aligned with the natural rhythms of existence.
Rhythms of expansion and contraction, of joy and pain, continually invite us back into contact with who we are—an encounter lived in the present moment, with truth, responsibility, and integrity.
Ser Integral is a living and evolving space, shaped by each person who arrives and calling us to respond with sensitivity to the unique needs of every individual.
It is a place where we listen, welcome, and meet one another—receiving each person exactly as they are, and exactly where they are in their life, moment by moment.
