Online meditation weekend retreat

Online meditation weekend retreat for North America (others are also welcome)

Experience and explore the silence of long meditation from the comfort of your own home. Join qualified instructors and fellow meditators from North America and perhaps other parts of the world.

What will you get from this retreat?

  • Renew yourself from within while staying comfortably at home
  • Experience with meditations at the 3-hour threshold
  • Deepen your understanding of your personal meditation process
  • Receive guidance from qualified instructors
  • Get to know other Acem meditators
  • Learn simple exercises and practice meditative Acem Yoga

Who is this retreat for?

  • You have already learned Acem meditation
  • A daily practice in the weeks leading up to the retreat is not required, but will be of advantage to your process.
  • The retreat is suitable for first-timers and experienced retreat participants alike.
  • You should be able to be undisturbed and not have other appointments during the retreat. 

You have practiced Acem Meditation for some time and have benefited from the stress release and mental digestion of the day's residues that your practice provides. Perhaps now is the time to take the next step and explore how to deepen and intensify your meditation process?

A weekend retreat – consisting of longer meditations, guidance, seminars, and group exercises – will help you to understand your meditation process better. The retreat will also give you an opportunity to practice and refine important nuances in the way you perform the technique, enhancing and deepening both short- and long-term benefits.

The program is based on our experience from online retreats we have held in Europe that have been very well received. The time schedule of the program is specifically set up to suit North America, but other participants from throughout the world are, of course, also welcome.
