Immerse yourself in a silent, powerful retreat that harmoniously combines meditation, mindfulness and mindful bodywork. In the inspiring surroundings of Rangjung Yeshe Gomde, you will find space to renew your mind, body and heart in a deep and lasting way.
Meditation and mindfulness practice
Meditation is at the heart of this retreat. Under the guidance of Lama Thierry, an experienced Buddhist teacher, you will practise calming the mind and developing a clear, open presence.
Through guided sitting meditations you will explore inner peace, serenity and a deeper connection to yourself. Lama Thierry teaches the practice in an accessible way – for beginners as well as experienced meditators – and gives impulses on how mindfulness can enrich your everyday life.
Yoga-inspired bodywork
To complement the 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, you release tension and strengthen the connection to your body – regardless of previous experience or physical condition.
A retreat for all those who …
… want to deepen meditation, integrate mindfulness into their lives and support their bodies through loving movement.
These days offer you a protected space to find new strength, peace and inspiration for everyday life.
