Meditation
Personal Transformation
Meditation is a path to personal transformation, inner calm, peace and love. Through the regular practice of meditation, we can experience inner peace, mental clarity and spiritual connection. It is a path that invites us to explore the depths of our being.
Finding Freedom
Detach from conditioning
We often don’t realize how deeply we are conditioned by society’s ideas of what life should look like. Breaking out of this is not easy and requires deep inner enquiry through meditation, for example.
Now is The Moment, Take it!
The next Step in your Life
In this Retreat embark on an Awareness-Expanding journey of Self-Discovery and Personal Growth this weekend with the Vibrant and Spirited Community of Open Sky House! Get ready to Unlock Your Inner Potential and Explore a Universe of Transformative Experiences.
We will introduce you to a fascinating selection of meditation exercises, both still and active. Find practices that touch you deeply and give you the strength to bring mindfulness and serenity into your everyday life.
