At this retreat, you practice the second level of long meditations: 3-4 hours. Deeper layers of stress and tensions loosen up. You feel renewed from within.
You attend guidance groups of 4-6 people, led by experienced instructors. This is a place to share experiences from your meditation. Your own reflection and the dialogue help you meditate better, and give you personal insights.
To further support your understanding of Acem Meditation, evening talks address relevant topics, such as meta-thoughts and self-images, the free mental attitude, personal growth and existential topics.
You can start the day with yoga, which gives a good bodily starting point for the long meditations. Acem Yoga includes a sequence of breathing exercises and stretches, done in a calm and introspective way, leveraging the free mental attitude.
The retreat has an open and inclusive vibe, and includes different social activities. If you don’t know anyone going to the retreat, don’t worry, you will quickly feel a sense of belonging.
