A great favourite among practitioners and praised as being one of the best methods to improve mindfulness and concentration. Deeply relaxing and profoundly illuminating, these meditations will improve your meditation skills and empower you to maintain a happy and peaceful mind in your daily life.
Dive into the silence and the clarity of your own mind and experience the tranquility and transformative quality of the mind’s pure nature, allowing you to let go of limiting and painful self-conceptions and to progress towards becoming the person you wish to be.’
This retreat offers a rare opportunity to step away from everyday activities and worries and embark on a meditative journey.
Each session will include uplifting talks and guided meditations, allowing both new and experienced practitioners to relax and enjoy this step-by-step retreat, reaching deeper levels of inner peace and happiness. There will also be plenty of time for relaxing and connecting with like-minded people.
