Details of this retreat
The 8-week version of this transformational program has reached thousands of people across 30+ countries. The approach integrates ancient practices and modern discoveries in physiology, adult learning, behavioral psychology… and is proven to reduce stress and increase resiliency, empathy, and mindfulness. This intensive format enables us to go deeper with the meditations (deep breathing, 20+senses, mantra, Metta, R.A.I.N. Naikan, Tonglen, open monitoring), PLUS explore embodied movement (walking, yoga, forest bathing) and intuitive energy healing, together. The point is to learn, practice, discover, rest, be present, reset, and connect peacefully with yourself and others, releasing expectations about how meditation, you, or life should be.
We explore meditation as something embodied and intuitive, not rigid or performative. Each day includes guided and silent sessions, breathing practices, energy work, movement, time in nature, still and quiet reflection. You may engage as much as you want, from 3 up to 9 hours of meditative practice daily. There is sharing and silence, enabling personal discovery, listening, settling more deeply.
This retreat is designed to support people new to meditation, as well as experienced meditators. We all leave with renewed clarity, a stronger sense of community and connection, and practical tools for daily life.
