In this episode of Carioca Connection, Alexia and Foster share their experience at a meditation retreat at the Art of Living Center in Boone, North Carolina. Alexia discusses her first immersive meditation experience, which coincided with her 35th birthday, and how she navigated the three-day retreat despite initial hesitations.

Key topics include:
* Finding the right meditation teacher and environment
* Balancing group practice with individual comfort levels
* The accessibility of meditation centers in Brazil
