"Living in the Moment" Meditation School and Mindfulness in Mallorca (also for couples)

Meditationshaus auf Mallorca
Das Stadthaus befindet sich in Petra und das liegt im Herzen von Mallorca, zwischen Inca und Manacor und bietet neben den 4 aufwändig renovierten Zimmerm mit modernen Bädern, eine Dachterrasse mit freiem Blick auf die Umgebung, mit der Tramuntana, den Weinbergen und dem Kloster Bonany. Ein kleines Patio ( Hof) lädt zum Frühstücken ein. Der ZENraum, im Herzen des Hauses, ist ein Ort der Stille und Begegnung und der ZENgarten, mit seinem zauberhaften kleinen Sommerhaus, befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Hier gibt es verschiedene Meditationsplätze unter freiem Himmel und in dem eigens dafür gestalteten Wasserbecken, bekommt die Gehmeditation eine andere Dimension.

THE SEMINAR LOCATION

Our center for “Awareness and Meditation” is located in the immediate vicinity of “San Pere,” the baptismal church of the Franciscan monk Junipero Serra, on the northern outskirts of the small town of PETRA. THE TOWNHOUSE is deliberately situated in an environment familiar to us in our daily lives. To truly integrate meditation into today’s everyday life, we believe it makes sense to cultivate and practice this vital aspect. Thus, in addition to beautiful rooms with modern bathrooms, the house offers a rooftop terrace with an unobstructed view of the surroundings, including the Tramuntana mountains, the vineyards, and the Bonany Monastery. In a Zen garden, right in the heart of town, you can practice walking meditation in a specially designed water basin and let the atmosphere of the garden wash over you. One of the most beautiful destinations for pilgrims and hikers is the Santuari de la Mare de Déu de Bonany monastery, which you can reach on foot from our location. In 1993, this region was recognized as a wine-growing area and invites you to take both short and extended walks.

You will be staying in a meditation retreat center that provides a structured daily routine throughout your entire stay. You will begin each day with an active meditation before breakfast. Throughout the morning, you will alternate between further meditation sessions and discussions focused on self-reflection. After lunch, you will have time to enjoy the garden or take a walk. We begin the second part of the day with a tea ceremony. This is followed by mindful physical exercises that lead into the realm of body awareness. Further introductions to meditation and discussions will then bring the day to a close with the evening meditation, ending around 9:00 PM.
Excursions to the sea and the surrounding area are planned and will be arranged together with you.
