Mata House is a center for Being, community, healing and art. A place where you can transform yourself.

Mata House aims to invite Seekers, people who wish to work on themselves, and to help direct the world towards a better future. It wishes to establish a community around it, in its home village of Mata, and in the surrounding area. Its values are: freedom, compassion, connection, expression and awareness.

We invite those who wish to experience living and working with others, for a self-learning growing experience.

Gurdjieff Sacred Dances Retreat - October 2026

“Journey to Inaccessible Places” Retreat with Carol Squire – October 9th-13th, 2026

“It is only by grounding our awareness in the living sensation of our bodies that the ‘I Am,’ our real presence, can awaken.” G. I. Gurdjieff

 The Sacred Dances are a form of active meditation. They are designed to progressively take us beyond our normal ‘self’ and access a deeper quality of our being: our Essence.
