Your Own Retreat is based on a totally personal experience of meditation (or for couples or small groups), ideal for the development of much more precise objectives, in a deep, private and calm way.
With this program I invite you to join me in my daily routine here where I live, a place surrounded by nature and spaces to meditate.
In the program I share breathing meditation and ancient yoga techniques adapted to your own motivations, which can be emotional, or for stress relief, or simply experience the benefits of meditation to apply them in your usual routine.
Depending on the length of your stay, there are the following two programs:
"Walk as if you were kissing the ground with your feet. Be aware of your surroundings"
– Thich Nhat Hanh –
Minimum 2 days / 2 nights.
Practical sessions every day you stay here. You'll have three daily sessions of 1 hr. each, with support and guidance available in each part of the process (we arrange the schedule of the sessions once you come)
You will also receive additional instructions to practice the exercises in the assigned space within your room. This will be key to making your retreat a highly introspective experience.
