Retreat Environments / /

Held at the Waldhaus Zentrum, near Andernach. See flyer with text

I am off to Germany next week to give two insight meditation retreats near Andernach in Germany starting in late July 2023.

Time for Silence. Time for Teachings. Time for our Interior Life. Time for Nature.

Why go to a silent retreat? See info and flyer in text. Why Go to a Silent Retreat?

You are very welcome to join.

We develop mindfulness/meditation in four postures. Why? Because we spend most of our life in of the four postures – sit, walk, stand and recline.

We reflect. Why? We have experiences in relationship to past, present and future to squeeze the honey out of these experiences – to quote the Buddha. This means uncover the insights to change habitual ways of thinking or develop fresh ways of living.

We go deep. Why? To expand consciousness, to listen to the depth and live with a liberating wisdom.

Wake up at 6 am. End of day 21.30. Nutritious food. Glorious nature. Beautiful people.

Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators.

You can also email me about the retreat itself. christopher@insightmeditation.org

Please email the centre for administrative details. See flyers.

Thank you.

See you soon,

Love

Christopher
