A British woman has gone missing in southern Brazil after she entered rough terrain while on a meditation retreat on Sunday and did not return.

Brazilian federal police are investigating the disappearance of Katherine Brewster, 27, from Seaford, East Sussex, who reportedly left a house on the outskirts of an eco-village in Rio Grande do Sul state four days ago in light clothing and without her mobile phone.

The couple who were hosing Brewster reported her missing to police on Tuesday. She was last seen near a hydroelectric power plant on the banks of the Uruguay river, according to local reports.

Brazilian investigators said the 27-year-old’s passport and credit cards are missing, but her clothes and belongings were found at the property where she had been staying.

1. If I had a couple hosing me

near a power plant I might make a run for it, too.

2. Absolutely. That's just not civilized. Who do they think they are? n/t

3. Not conducive to meditation,

peace and love, IMO.

But, seriously, I hope and pray (yes, I actually do that sort of thing) she returns, or is found, safe and sound.
