About The Retreat

For the five days of practice program of total devotion, 
We are about to enjoy a serene and purifying moments that are beyond the concept of time...

Eternity not to be explained but we truly live,
Living in serenity with its pure spirit as in a temple, 
Living authentically moment after moment, hold the rein with strong awareness of principals but not with formality. 

As our intention for serenity is itself purifying, thus devote, devote, devote, so as we break through and enter the door with its depth.
Practice without mental purpose, it stills the mind and making PRESENT revealed with intensity...
