THE FLAVOR OF JHANA
Join us for a transformative meditative immersion—where each breath leads to profound inner shift.
DESCRIPTION
Step into the depths of stillness. Discover the power of jhāna.
More than just a meditative state, jhāna is a gateway to unshakable concentration, lasting inner peace, and deep joy. This unique retreat offers both structure and spaciousness, creating the ideal conditions for real, grounded transformation.
From the very beginning, you’ll be supported in choosing a concentration object that resonates with you personally. Then, day by day, you'll be gently guided through a subtle and progressive journey into jhāna, based on universal principles that apply across all meditation techniques.
This inner exploration invites you to discover—or deepen—jhāna across four essential dimensions:
• Somatic – cultivating embodied presence through breath and body
• Energetic – attuning to subtle internal vitality
• Cognitive – refining clarity, attention, and awareness
• Archetypal – opening to states of deep wisdom and inner beauty
Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or a curious explorer, this retreat offers a complete immersion into an ancient practice—reimagined with clarity, depth, and accessibility for the modern path.
