Experience a calm, powerful retreat that harmoniously combines meditation, mindfulness and mindful bodywork. In the inspiring environment of Rangjung Yeshe Gomde, you will find space to renew your mind, body and heart in a profound and sustainable way.
Meditation and mindfulness practice
Meditation is at the heart of this retreat. Under the guidance of Lama Thierry, an experienced Buddhist teacher, we will practice calming the mind and developing a clear, open presence.
Through guided sitting meditations, we will explore inner peace, serenity and a deeper connection to ourselves. Lama Thierry teaches the practice in a way that is accessible to beginners and experienced practitioners alike and provides insights into how mindfulness can enrich our daily lives.
Yoga-inspired, gentle movement
In addition to meditation practice, Cecilia Pla leads gentle, mindfulness-based movement sessions.
Inspired by yoga, dance and the Feldenkrais method, the exercises promote flexibility, body awareness and inner stability. Through gentle, conscious movements, we release tension and strengthen our connection to our body – regardless of previous experience or physical condition.
A retreat for all those who…
…want to deepen their meditation, integrate mindfulness into their lives and lovingly support their body through movement.
These three days offer a safe space to gain new strength, peace and inspiration for everyday life.
