Frequently Asked Questions
Would a retreat be appropriate for me if I haven't practiced anything before?
Yes. The retreat will be effective and helpful even if you haven't practiced anything before. Before the retreat, you will receive training in the form of an online course, individual guidance from a mentor and 3 webinars. So you will have the necessary basic training.
What's more - it's even good if you don't have past experience with practices and spiritual teachings. Instead of comparing yourself to past concepts, you will openly accept the methodology for what it is and be able to use it 100%.
Why do you need restrictions before a retreat?
Why stick to a vegan diet? (Exclusion of all animal products)
Under normal circumstances, 75-80% of a person's energy is spent digesting food. A plant-based diet requires less energy to digest. And the released energy will go to the internal restructuring and purification of the body.
Why eliminate the use of alcohol and tobacco?
During the course the nervous system is cleansed of accumulated tension and mental patterns of the mind. This is already a serious enough load on the body. And if you combine the practice with the intake of alcohol or any other psychoactive substances, then there is a risk of greatly deteriorating your health and well-being.
Why are restrictions necessary?
For a deeper immersion in the practice, it is necessary to go into a quieting mode. This means temporarily giving up music, movies, books, videos, sex, overeating. As well as anything that is a mental stimulant, or that you use to escape from a sense of inner emptiness.
The quieting mode will allow you to accumulate inner energy, channel it into understanding your nature and realize your potential more quickly.
I need to stay in touch, can I keep my phone?
One of the main factors in the effectiveness of a retreat is a complete change in the usual activities of life. The telephone is one of the significant attributes of the modern world, which we take with us everywhere and anywhere, using it for communication and entertainment, reading books, watching movies and much more. In general, we associate the phone with a myriad of daily tasks and activities that fuel our mental activity. And in order to deeply feel and understand the retreat methodology, to get the effect of the practices - it is necessary to internally quiet down.
In this regard, all phones and gadgets are surrendered to the organizers for the duration of the retreat. Take care in advance of questions that may arise during the retreat.
You can give the retreat organizers phone number to people who might need you under extreme circumstances so they will be able to reach us.
I have injuries, medical restrictions or I follow a special diet as recommended by my doctor.
Diet, injuries and other medical conditions should be reported in advance in the questionnaire before coming to the retreat. In this way, the instructors and organizers will already be aware of your health condition and, if necessary, will create special conditions for you.
