Dora Gil

Dora Gil is a meditation and retreat teacher based in Cancelada, Málaga. Her work invites people to recognise the light of their own being within everyday life, and she describes each moment, whatever form it takes, as the perfect setting for that recognition.

She tells her own story plainly. For many years she believed herself insufficient and in need of fixing, striving to resemble others who seemed freer and more valued. Exhaustion and the pain of so much self-judgement eventually stopped her in the quiet light of the present, where she sensed the innocence of the life that had always sustained her.

Dora studied Psychology and Fine Arts, explored schools of self-knowledge, and trained in Transpersonal Therapy, Zen Meditation, Yoga, Mindfulness and Advaita Vedanta. She accompanies people in connecting and becoming intimate with their own lives, offering experience and training in the perspective of the present moment, where it is possible to rest and feel nourished by life.

Her teaching explores recognising what we are, falling in love with breath and meditation, living this in daily life with a unified purpose, and inhabiting the inner kingdom, where sensations, emotions and thoughts are met with love rather than treated as enemies. She shares this through experiential workshops, online courses, retreats, books, meditation and a YouTube channel offering inspiration to meditate.
