Meditation & silence retreat by MedioBalance

Meditation and silent retreat - a journey to inner peace

My silent retreat lasts several days and offers you an intensive time-out for reflection and relaxation from your hectic everyday life. Under my guidance, Jasmin Schumacher, you will experience guided meditation, mindful walking and inspiring one-to-one conversations. In the quiet atmosphere, you will find space for yourself, supported by daily sessions of meditation and quiet time together.

Schedule of the retreat:

Arrival day:
Welcome and dinner together. The retreat begins in the evening with an introduction and initial meditation practice.

Daily program:
The day begins early with meditative walking, followed by meditation together and meatless meals eaten as a group. The afternoon offers time for individual meditative walking or individual talks and meditations. In the evening we return for group meditation and a quiet conclusion.

Departure day:
After a final meditative walk and breakfast, we conclude the retreat with a farewell meditation and lunch together.

I cordially invite you to experience this valuable time of silence and inner contemplation and to treat yourself to a time-out for body, mind and soul - a journey to yourself that can have a lasting effect.
