ITINERARY

Personality preferences and our patterns of movement and perception keep our everyday life experience within a pattern from which we rarely manage to escape. Years pass, life situations change, but we, the ones perceiving them, somehow remain the same. If you want to find a new freshness in the way you see and experience what is inside you and around you, then this retreat is for you.

​

​The retreat is an opportunity and a manifesto for a new freedom of movement, thinking, and perception.

​

The retreat is characterized by the unusual. Through various methods, both traditional yoga and spontaneous ones, the old thought and movement patterns of the participants will be tested and weakened with each passing day of the retreat, making room for a new experience—freer from the past, more spontaneous, and more universal. The journey of the retreat goes from the known to the unknown, from a person in the midst of many others, to a sense of new connection and unity with everything around us.

​The retreat offers the option to spend 2 and a half days of preparation, prior to the start of the collective retreat, 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. ​
