father. He spent his early years in Angola, where a civil war was raging. At the age of 8, the impact of the war led his mother to flee the country with him and his two brothers and sisters, leaving his father behind to continue his fight for an independent and sovereign Angola.<br>The theme of reconciliation and human liberation has always been central in his family, beginning with spirituality through his two grandfather pastors, then on to politics and economics. For 10 years, Claudio set out on a path of spiritual and existential quest, traveling through different cultures and experiences &#8220;in search of what connects all things.&#8221; He practiced meditation and yoga in Indian ashrams, studied qi gong in China and Nepal, and served as a monk in monasteries in Japan, where he completed a 1,400 km silent pilgrimage to break through inner barriers.<br>This journey led him to explore the mechanisms of ego and to reach inner peace by letting go of the world and reconnecting to the true essence of reality. After 10 years of meditation and silence, including three months of solitary introspection in a hut in the Himalayas, he experienced liberation by \u201cno longer seeking to be someone,\u201d preferring instead to be fully present to life rather than reject it.<br>When he returned to the West, he met his partner, started a family, and pursued a professional career in Africa and then in Europe. For several years, he lived in Sweden and the United States, where he facilitated circles and retreats for men. He now lives in Montreux and has launched a circle of men exploring the path of the peaceful man. Claudio is a certified Life Coach (Reconcile with Life) and has been serving as a youth pastor at the Village Mosa\u00efque since September 2022.          <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a921f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2a921f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contact<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e39c496 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e39c496\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">Claudio Lamsa <\/p><p class=\"\">Certified Life Coach: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reconcilewithlife.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.reconcilewithlife.com<\/a> <\/p><p class=\"\">Youth Pastor and Youth Leader at Village Mosa\u00efque: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.villagemosaique.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.villagemosaique.ch<\/a><\/p><p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arzillier.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Board Member of the House for Interreligious Dialogue \u201cMaison du dialogue interreligieux\u201d Arzillier: https:\/\/www.arzillier.ch\/<\/a> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a671cf8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a671cf8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23264be3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23264be3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">For more information, contact Claudio Neto Da Silva: <span style=\"color: #ff7aac;\"><a style=\"color: #ff7aac;\" href=\"mailto:claudio@villagemosaique.ch\">claudio@villagemosaique.ch<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men&#8217;s Circle \u201cFROM THE MAN OF WAR TO THE MAN OF PEACE\u201d with Claudio Da Silva, certified life coach and co-founder of the Village Mosa\u00efque (CHF 20.-) Schedule Fridays 6:00\u20137:15 pm: January 16, February 13, March 6, April 10, May 1, June 12, 2026 6:00\u20136:15 pm Meditation and Intention 6:15\u20136:45 pm Physical Training (martial arts, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1480,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1517","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1517"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3059,"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1517\/revisions\/3059"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/villagemosaique.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
