You are welcome!

Welcome calm. Release what’s unnecessary. Return to simplicity.

At Zvangas, we are creating an environment where a person can come exactly as they are and encounter peace, silence, and space for themselves, or share meaningful time together with their family.

This home is becoming a harbor of peace — a place where one can arrive and take a deep breath, where the weary find refreshment, the lonely find presence, and everyone is welcomed with simple human warmth.

It is a countryside space open to those who seek peace and truth. And sometimes, it is precisely in this simplicity that a person experiences something more than expected — a peace that remains and a lightness that cannot be fully explained.

We are shaping this living space so that everyone who enters may, even if only for a moment, lay down what feels heavy, regain strength, and continue onward with a lighter heart.

— Liene and Uldis

Rest

Rest at Zvangas offers a chance to pause, breathe more deeply, and return to a simpler, more natural rhythm.
There are no televisions, no rush, and no pressure to keep up — only nature, a rural setting, fresh air, wholesome food, and space to be with yourself or together with those close to you. Those seeking silence, peace, or meaningful activities will find a rhythm here that supports both physical and mental well-being.

The Zvangas farm, surrounded by meadows and forests, offers an authentic rural experience shaped by its own daily rhythm, inhabitants, and values. Centuries-old willows, a traditional barn, and former livestock buildings create a genuine countryside atmosphere, while the rocky Vidzeme coastline lies just 4 km away.

Programs

At Zvangas, we offer programs that support renewal, cleansing, restoring inner rhythm, and fostering creativity.
Our programs are created so that everyone can experience mindful rest and renewal at their own pace, choosing the level and depth of experience according to their individual needs.

The programs offer different approaches — from gentle rest and silence to more intensive cleansing and renewal practices, as well as opportunities for voluntary work within our living space.

Individual sessions

These are present, attentive encounters with oneself — in the body, in sensation, and in awareness.
This is not the provision of conventional “services,” but a personal process in which you are listened to, accompanied, and supported in your own rhythm. A space and a time to pause, breathe, and hear what often remains in the background of everyday haste.

Each experience is shaped individually, based on your current state, needs, and readiness. The work unfolds through nature, presence, breath, and bodily processes, creating space for genuine change to emerge in its own time.

These experiences are intended for those who feel fatigue, inner tension, confusion, or a call to know themselves more deeply — within a calm, safe, and natural environment.

Workshops

Workshops at Zvangas offer the opportunity to learn new skills and creative approaches through hands-on practice, either individually or in a group.
Each workshop is designed as a practical learning process, where participants can work with materials, acquire core skills, and receive individual or group support.

The workshop formats are flexible — including one-on-one sessions, regular group workshops, as well as specially tailored workshops for groups and teams. The workshops cover both creative and practical skills that can be applied in everyday life, grounded in natural and sustainable processes.

Crafted at Zvangas

Created at Zvangas is a place where our handmade work and heartfelt care come together — cacao and cacao products, fermented foods, and handcrafted items. Everything is created slowly, consciously, and with respect for the ingredients, the process, and the environment.

This section is currently in progress and will be expanded gradually, following what naturally emerges at Zvangas.

Here you can explore, taste, and purchase local delicacies:

bean-to-bar chocolate (dark and with coconut milk)
honey with spices and cacao nibs
ceremonial-grade cacao and cacao for everyday use
fermented vegetables, buckwheat bread, and other seasonal products

Products are available on-site, and delivery via parcel locker is also possible (please contact us directly).

When visiting Zvangas, there is also an opportunity to taste and experience teas prepared on site, fermented buckwheat bread, ghee, coconut milk, yogurt, fermented vegetables, and seasonal treats.

After meeting Uldis Santjago on my path, I have already visited Zvangas twice. Uldis has an exceptional ability to create space — he listens with his heart and soul, welcomes a person exactly as they are, and creates an environment in which one can truly engage in self-discovery. I felt deeply welcomed, safe, and loved.

Continue what you have begun, Uldis. I hope that many people will find their way to Zvangas.

We all present to the world an image we have created for it, yet such lightness enters when we no longer carry that image and dare to reveal our hearts. This stage of the journey is not easy, and thank you for creating a place that supports people on this path. Because when a worldly identity collapses, everything connected to it often collapses as well — at times even family no longer feels like support. People may not yet know their own hearts, nor themselves without roles and masks in the world, and in those moments it is truly precious that we can be there for one another.

If you are seeking a space to heal and reconnect with yourself, nature, and life, this is the place. A place where you can breathe fully again, where food nourishes the soul, and where, through different practices, you return to your essence. In peace and self-acceptance, time begins to slow down, and the rhythm of life once again aligns with the rhythm of your heart. This is something that can only be felt through experience.
