Vipassana

April 21 - 27
November 24 - 30

A week with no words and gadgets
Time for being you
What?

We will spend a week with no word, without looking into the gadgets.


Plenty of meditation, a bit of forest walks, reading books, playing chess, dancing, yoga, cooking together, spending evenings by the fireplace - slow life with no triggers, in a beautiful place with conscious people.

Why?

To spend time with ourselves among the others. To learn how to remain authentic with other people. To get the good sleep. To enjoy the autumn nature. To heal your body and mind. To get the new friends. To experience something you've never done before.

Everyone is the message
Where?

Gomarduli Dao Space -

the first and the only retreat center in Georgia.


Located in the Highlands of Adjara,

it brings the fascinating experience

for people from all around the world.

Program

We would like to follow the group dynamics

and leave the space for improvisation.


This will be rather offering of the silent space

than the intensive workshop.
