The Mind Retreat (100-hour training)

.

 

The Mind is a unique silent 10-day retreat for those who are looking to find peace, clarity and spaciousness within the nature of their mind. Our mind is usually distracted by endless thoughts jumping around like a monkey. We are spending too much time thinking, worrying and pondering but rarely find the peace in our mind that is our birthright. During The Mind you will learn the foundation of mindfulness practice and go deeper into meditation techniques that will firmly establish you in your peace, awareness and presence. You will come out as a different person, with a clearer understanding of yourself, your practice and your dharma – this retreat will literally blow your mind away.
About the retreat
Investigate the Mind as true scientists within our own laboratory

Welcome to The Mind, a silent yoga retreat designed to help you find peace, clarity, and spaciousness within the nature of your mind. In today’s world, our minds are constantly distracted by endless thoughts, worries, and ponderings, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves. But that doesn’t have to be the case.

During The Mind, you will learn the foundation of mindfulness practice and dive deeper into meditation techniques that will firmly establish you in your peace, awareness, and presence. You will learn how to quiet the monkey mind and find a sense of calm within the chaos. With each practice, you will begin to see the world with greater clarity and a deeper understanding of yourself.

As you move through this retreat, you will find that your mind becomes more focused and still. You will learn to let go of the worries and distractions that are holding you back, allowing you to connect with your inner self and find a sense of inner peace. With each practice, you will feel more grounded, centered, and present.

The Mind is a journey of self-discovery and transformation. By the end of this retreat, you will come out as a different person, with a clearer understanding of yourself, your practice, and your dharma. You will find yourself more in tune with the world around you, and with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. This retreat will literally blow your mind away.

So, take a deep breath and allow yourself to fully embrace The Mind. Trust in the process, and allow yourself to let go of the distractions and worries that are holding you back. By the end of this retreat, you will feel more connected, more grounded, and more present than ever before.
