Administrative Information
The opening meeting of the retreat will be held on its first day at 16:00. Thus for 2009:
- 16 August at 16:00
- 27 December at 16:00
During this meeting we will explain the guidelines for participants as well as some general
principles of the retreat, and we will hold a first meditation together. All administrative
details will be resolved during this session, so that when the retreat begins the following
morning, the next six full days may be devoted exclusively to meditation and interiorization. The
retreat will end after the afternoon meditation on the last full retreat day (22 August and 2
January), after which participants may share their retreat experiences with each other. On the
last morning, 23 August and 3 January, a last meeting for questions and answers will be held.
The program will be of approximately 10 hours per day (about 6.5 hours of meditation, two hours
for lectures and the reading of inspirational texts, and 1.5 hours for Hatha Yoga practice),
with two breaks (for lunch and dinner). The menu is lacto-ovo vegetarian; there are two meals
per day (lunch and dinner).
