Practice the second level of long meditation

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.

Daily guidance group

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.

 

Evening seminars to support your meditative journey

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.

Yoga

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.
