On the day October 10, 2025<\/strong>, the Mentara<\/strong> was present at 5th edition of the Health and Wellness Fair<\/strong>, held in Ajuda Botanical Garden<\/strong>, in Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence of Maria del Mar<\/strong>, founder and director of Mentara, was one of the most inspiring moments of the event, in a meeting that brought together professionals, students and curious people around the promotion of a more conscious and balanced life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her speech, Maria del Mar reflected on the role of human relations<\/strong> and of the emotional consistency<\/strong> in the construction of well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat makes a person truly happy is not the number of relationships they have, but the number of consistent, deep, and lasting relationships throughout their life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The conversation also brought to light themes that permeate clinical practice and the humanistic perspective that guides Mentara's work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat really matters is affection.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe live in a permanent state of alert \u2014 we constantly hear from the news that the world is always ending and that there is a lot of war.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With her usual sensitivity, Maria del Mar highlighted the importance of reconnect body and soul<\/strong>, rescuing natural rhythms and listening more deeply to ourselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are the only animal that doesn't eat when we're hungry and doesn't sleep when we're sleepy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWho sustains what? Is it the soul that sustains the body or the body that sustains the soul?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In a touching closing, he left a reflection on time and finitude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFinitude does not guarantee change, but it has the power to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mentara's participation in this fair reinforces the project's commitment to promoting mental, emotional and somatic health<\/strong>, through a look integrative, human and transformative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
