What is a retreat?
The word “retreat” literally means “seclusion” and is used as an international term to denote time of solitude dedicated to either intensive practice, deep learning, or creativity.
A retreat implies that a person withdraws from society and their daily routine for a certain period (several days or even weeks) to rest, live in simple conditions, alone, in silence, and in nature.
Most often, retreats take place in quiet natural settings, away from noise and hustle of big cities.
Retreat programs at the Indriya Retreat center offer opportunities for a deep and authentic retreat experience.
A retreat is not an entertainment program or a chase for excitement; it is a deep internal practice aimed at healing your mind and heart through intensive meditation:
Several days in silence without your phone enjoying a break from the information flow
Slowing down, releasing tension, and feeling the healing power of the present moment
Improving health and establishing a healthy daily routine
Calm mind, better concentration
Radical increase in your energy level
Fresh perception bringing you back to enjoying simple things
Connection with your intuition, fresh creative ideas
Uplifted spirit and inspiration for new achievements
