TERMS OF PARTICIPATION + CONTRAINDICATIONS

Some meditation experience is welcome. But even without any prior experience, you’re exactly where you need to be.
This one-day retreat is not suitable for people experiencing acute life crises, shortly after traumatic events, during acute phases of anxiety or depression without medical supervision, or when dealing with acute suicidal thoughts or recent grief. This is because meditation and silence amplify whatever is already present. So if you’re currently in need of stabilization, you’re more likely to find it in a structured coaching or clinical setting than in a meditative space with periods of silence.
