Weekend Retreat in Dominican Republic
A Weekend Retreat provides an opportunity for training long meditations at the three-hour level (in your own room), guidance groups led by experienced instructors, talks and discussions on the psychology of meditation.
This is an opportunity to meet fellow meditators in quiet surroundings for longer meditations combined with guidance fromexperienced instructors. This provides a possibility to intensify the effects of meditation. To discuss and share your experiences in small guidance groups, can be very helpful and inspiring. In the seminars you may discuss different aspects of Acem Meditation and achieve a deeper understanding of the technique and the meditation process. You will be able to experience more directly the relationship between meditation and personal growth.
The course is held in Cabarete.
