“Retreat” comes from the idea of
“stepping back” or “moving aside.”
Today, it refers to taking a special
away from daily life to care for yourself
through meditation, rest, and reflection.
It is a moment to pause the busy flow
of life, to breathe with nature,
and to recharge your body and mind.
This is the meditation retreat
we have prepared for you.
