Rules are usually not nice to hear... But it's necessary to follow them to make your retreat most effective:
1) Please rent a room next to the course location not more than 5 minutes walk. Between the sessions you will meditate in your room. Please use all your time only for the course program
2) Driving vehicles or bikes is not allowed, no public transport or taxi
3) Please live alone in the room and sleep alone. No visits by children, relatives or friends.
4) Organize your food in advance to minimize shopping and cooking during the course. Meal delivery is an option.
Eat alone. If we organize catering for the group, we eat together in silence.
5) No work should be carried out - no online work, no zoom meetings, phone calls, work arrangements, messages or emails, for 10 days
6) No alcohol or drugs
7) For the first 5 days put off all devices. No messages, no TV or books, no listening music or watching YouTube, no writing a diary.
8) First 5 days will be held in total silence. No communication with anyone including relatives, children and friends. Please tell them in advance that you will not speak with them or message them for 5 days.
9) During the last 5 days you are allowed to speak. You can talk to anyone for a short while but your focus should be still on the program
