This retreat provides plenty of time for meditation and self reflection. Long meditations help to alleviate deep layers of stress and muscular tensions, and to increase inner calm and receptiveness. By refining our meditation practice, we become more aware of hitherto unrecognized psychological patterns and emotions in ourselves.
