Passaddhi Meditation Centre  

WHAT TO EXPECT ON A RETREAT:

There won't be any retreats at Passaddhi. Instead, Marjó is guiding retreats at other venues. See below for details.

All retreats taught by Marjó are in silence, and the guidance is offered on a donation basis. For most retreats, the food and accommodation is also offered on a donation basis, after a deposit of €100 to keep your place.

During every retreat group guidance is given; there is also opportunity to have individual talks with Marjó.

Sitting meditation is alternated by walking meditation. The walking meditation will be done outside as much as is feasible.

Silent retreats are an opportunity for a way to practise meditation more intensively than perhaps at home.
It is not really appropriate to use one's phone or other devices to go online, to make or receive calls or send texts (unless there is an emergency situation), and it is recommended not to read during a retreat. Journaling about one's meditation experiences is encouraged. These guidelines for being on retreat can support a heart and mind that is calm, connected and contented.

Please email Marjó if you would like more information about retreats or to request a booking form.
