Deep Vibes
- Ancient Temple Meditation Retreat -

Cut the busyness, fullnuss of the mind and retreat yourself in the mountain nature. 
Each breathe in the morning and night, purify self, revitalize self, awakening and follow the true self WITHIN…

Length : 2 days, 2 nights
Location: The retreats are organised in different temples. Usually it takes around 2-2.5 hours driving by bus from the gathering place.
