💫 Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is especially suitable for you if:

• you’re seeking inner growth or deeper meaning

• you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or emotional heaviness

• you love self-awareness, spirituality, or philosophy

• you sense a higher level of consciousness and want to explore it

• you’re ready for a shift — subtle or profound

You don’t need any prior meditation experience.

🕊️ Retreat Lifestyle

To support a calm and transformative atmosphere, the retreat follows a simple, monastery-like lifestyle:

• vegetarian meals

• no alcohol, smoking, or recreational drugs

• minimal phone/social media use

• no TV

• quiet, respectful environment

• celibacy during the retreat

This creates the clarity and inner stillness needed for the deeper work.

If you can begin easing into this lifestyle a little before the retreat, it often helps you get even more from the experience.
