Experience the Vipassana Retreat at the Open Sky House in Hitdorf, Germany - a transformative journey to gain insight into the nature of all things. This retreat offers you the opportunity to discover the wisdom of silence and the incessant change of life.
What to expect:
Intense self-encounter: Spend a weekend in silence with yourself and explore the workings of your mind and body in a profound way.
Personal meditation space: The 'Vipassana Island' consists of a chair, meditation cushion, backrest, mattress and blankets. On this island you spend the whole weekend together with other meditators who have their own island in the same room. We recommend that you wear a blindfold throughout the weekend. This allows you to keep your gaze inward. The first moment after the weekend is a magical experience for many.
All-round care: A loving team of helpers will take care of your needs and bring you food.
What you take away from the weekend:
- A unique meditation experience
- A deep appreciation for yourself and the world
- A new calm and serenity
- Insights into the workings of your mind
- An unforgettable insight into the beauty of the encounter with yourself
- Courage, support and strength for the next steps in your life

Arrival: Friday afternoon
