About Us
What can this Retreat Center provide you? To avoid misunderstanding, we must clarify the meaning of some related definitions.
Retreat
“I’d like to go for a retreat for some days!”
You may have heard this many times and you may have felt it already. But where should you go? Where is the place where you could be left alone for a few days without phone? Where you won’t hear your neighbor who is listening to music at 2 a.m.? Where you can feel the healing silence? Where you can organize your confused thoughts, and all those thoughts that are swirling in your head can slowly quite down. But if you are alone, is that really possible to make the swirling thoughts settled and straighten what is tangled now?
Maybe yes – maybe not. Anyway, retreat is a social experience where you can be alone, but not lonely. There are programs that are common activities. There is a daily agenda that provides a framework for your presence here, although it may be more strict and bounded than you are normally used to. You have time for yourself, you can clear up your inner confucions. It’s all about the practice here. Different retreats work according to different rules, but there is one characteristic what you can experience in almost all of them: silence, and almost no speech what you manifest. There are no obligatory networking here, you don’t have to share anything with anyone, being together is more than enough. You can be alone, but you are never lonely. Is this what you meant too while thinking about retreats?
The Center
As you read above, retreat activities are very different from everyday activities. For these different activities, we provides an environment that is quite different what you require in your everyday life. This environment is the Center itself. This is a slice of the ordinary world but well separated by plants, fences and trees. You leave the world and its burdens outside of the gate for a few days. This place is simpler and more modest, but it has a sacred purpose. The unique atmosphere of the place is given by the spiritual power of a thousand-year-old tradition besides the restrained and puritan spaces. The practitioners are infused by this spiritual power but the effect is different for everyone. Some of the practiotioners talk about inner purification, some of them experience recreation, and there are guests who feel peace by the end… Overall, you will see that the time you spend here will be truly transformative.
Creative Center
In this place you have the opportunity to create something that might be more difficult or more complicated in the everyday world. The inner peace, purification, and recreation you will find here can give you real creative power – not just for artists – that enables you to transform yourself. You can be a sculptor and a statue at the same time. The creator and the creation. You can create your own work, even it is a poem, an image, a statue, or your own self. As it was mentioned before, the time spent here will have a transformative effect, but only you can transform and only you can be transformed.
We are happy to see creative minds, artists and people who want to work on themselves.
