Viștișoara Reset Retreat is an unconventional, intense yoga and meditation retreat designed to peel off old rigid patterns of the body and mind and awaken a new thirst for spiritual life.
ITINERARY
Sanatam Dharma, a Sanskrit term which translates as "the eternal law of Nature" is the theme of this year's Reset Retreat. In a world where people battle opinions and build personas, the simplicity and clarity required to perceive the underlying Truth of our existence is most difficult.
Through a mix of yoga, meditation practices, mantra chanting, contemplation on classical spiritual texts, and simple living, we slowly develop a new clarity, a new set of eyes that allow us to feel the real fabric of us and the world in which we exist.
The retreat offers the option to start the retreat with 2 and a half days of preparation, in what is called a DARKNESS Retreat.
During the Dark Retreat, the participant spends time alone in their room, in complete darkness (the room windows are isolated so that no light enters from the outside), in complete silence. Twice a day, at 10:00 AM and at 7:00 PM, a meal will be served in the room, which the participant will consume under the same two conditions of darkness and silence.
Although labeled by many who have not experienced it as potentially scary and uncomfortable, the Darkness Retreat is actually one of the most relaxing and inspiring experiences that one can have in their life!
With 'nothing to do' and 'nothing to see' for 2.5 days, the participants manage to rest and relax their minds like never before, bring their senses to new levels of perception, reflect with enhanced clarity at the things that matter most in their life, and connect in a completely new way with their inner world.
