Expired!

Time

Saturday 2pm 21st to Tuesday noon 24th January 2017

The Mediterranean Meditation Retreat provides a three day holistic and relaxed experience with daily meditation, yoga, delicious Mediterranean vegetarian food and spiritual group discussion / documentaries. The retreat offers an opportunity to learn mindful speech and will also partly be in silence. Mindful writing and time to explore the beautiful retreat surroundings are some of the activities available to enhance your recuperation.

The meditations are non-secular and cover teachings from different traditions such as Buddhist philosophy, Hindu chakras and Western Mystery. Meditation is augmented by a short Sanskrit seed chant, like AUM, which helps calm the mind before the mainly guided meditations or visualizations. The meditative techniques taught help make our mind peaceful and also use self-enquiry, so we can start to experience happiness even in difficult circumstances.
