Teresa Ranieri

Mindfulness Teacher

Teresa has been a meditation practitioner since 1988. She has extensive training and experience in mindfulness, and holds a Master’s degree in Teaching Mindfulness-Based Interventions (with a focus on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) from Bangor University, UK. Her background is in Transcendental Meditation and she studied the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Sanskrit, and Ayurveda before training in the Theravadin tradition. Additionally, Teresa practices and teaches Insight Dialogue, an interpersonal practice created by Gregory Kramer that brings together meditative awareness, Buddhist teachings, and dialogue to support understanding of the nature and release of human suffering.

Teresa offers mindfulness-based programs in different social contexts, supporting other humans in their search for more balance in their lives. She facilitates mindfulness courses and retreats at Centro Upaya in Lisbon, Instituto Português de Psicoterapia Corporal in Coimbra, and the Porto Buddhist Centre. She also offers online training courses to the public on the topic of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBCT, MBSR, and Mindful Eating). Other nonprofit organisations she is involved with include MP4s/ Mindfulness Practices for Students in Society, Conhecer-Se, and the Potential Project.

She enjoys the opportunity to provide extensive support for people in search of a meaningful life while motivating them to discover true inner peace and their healthiest self. She feels that it’s a real gift to see people moving toward this direction. Her intention when working with people is not about fixing their problems but being of service. She believes her strengths emanate from bringing forth love, understanding, and respect for mindfulness, and all that it encompasses. Teresa practises yoga, loves to swim, and prefers the countryside over towns. She likes to learn and engage in meaningful conversations. She has lived most of her life as a foreigner, something which has taught her to be flexible and to learn from different cultures.
