THE GATHERING

This gathering is intended for anyone who's seriously interested in exploring inner landscapes, and to uncover the deep well of profound ease and stillness that is in each one of us. It's never not there, but most of us haven't learned to uncover it, and so we get caught up in endless streams of worry and regret. In plans and memories, and in mental constructs that obscure rather than illuminates. 

When we begin to glimpse reality the way it is rather than the way we are, we'll inevitably fall in love. Because there's so much beauty and awe to be found everywhere.

During this long weekend at a peaceful location, we'll give up our phones, and we'll practice noble silence for 48 hours. People often discover that being silent with other people is an intimate and powerful experience, and that there are many other ways to relate to people than through words.

But there will also be time to share and to talk, and most likely to have a few laughs too.

We'll practice walking and sitting meditation, and we'll practice yoga and other movement modalities. There will also be plenty of time for journaling, reading and walks in nature. In the evening the sauna will be lit. 

​

This retreat is intended for people with some meditation experience.

THE PLACE 

Nonna Hof is an oasis of stillness, a simple old two-storey farmhouse, with exposed wooden beams, sparsely yet stylishly furnished with loads of natural light. The house is surrounded by over 20,000 square meters of pristine land; meadows and woods, a healing herb garden and old fruit trees. 

The beating heart of Nonna is the spacious kitchen /lounge where we will share our meals, but also cosy downtime reading or journaling.

Accommodation are in pretty doubles and triples, there are 5 shared newly renovated bathrooms/toilets.

​

Arrival is from around 15:00 on Thursday, and we'll finish around 12 noon on Sunday.
