Personal Meditation Retreat

The personal meditation retreat can be adapted to what you need. This can be different for everybody and depends on the purpose of your retreat. We facilitate a programme similar to the communal retreats. You can decide yourself wether you would like to stay in silence (parts of) the day or not.

Why a personal meditation retreat

The reasons for a personal retreat vary widely.

For example, your goal may be to relax from busy life, recharge your batteries and reconnect with your natural state. We then recommend staying in silence as much as possible, including a digital detox by turning your mobile phone off or on flight mode. You can then also choose not to read and write and focus completely on ‘doing nothing’. This is the most powerful way to go deep into the retreat. Of course, you can vary this as you wish, which is the beauty of a personalised retreat.

Also if you are in or recovering from a difficult time or a burn-out, for example, a personal retreat can do some good. For instance, we have a very useful and powerful text written specifically for retreats. This text helps to give direction to thoughts and enter into a more reflective state. The text also gives some insights that can help gain insight into the programmes that caused the difficulties or the burnout.

We even sometimes get writers who like to write their own book in silence. So there are many different motives to which the personal retreat can be an answer.

Make sure to mark an option “Private Meditation Retreat” when booking on location

We use a minimum and maximum stay of 2 and 5 days respectively, Monday is our restday, visits are not possible then.

Check-in on location is after 3 pm and check out of the room at 11 am. It is possible to stay until after lunch, you can choose this as an extra option with your reservation.

Always wanted to go to a monastery for a few days to withdraw from a busy life and to recharge your batteries?

Apart from religion and tradition Asharum Amonines offers different retreats which are a beautiful opportunity to unwind from a busy and demanding daily life and to attune to your spiritual and transcendental nature, the Essence of what you truly are.

You can decide yourself when you would like to do this retreat and how long. During such a retreat a staff member will be available to guide you and facilitate a meditation-rhythm. Usually, a daily rhythm of four meditations a day is possible. We recommend you to be in silence during the day or parts of the day and you will receive some extra tools which can help you find focus and attunement during such a retreat.

The personal meditation retreat will be accompanied by Irma ten Brink. If she cannot attend, she will provide a replacement. If she cannot find a replacement this will show in the calendar below, therefore check the calendar if you want to be sure this retreat is possible to attend.

During a personal retreat, you stay in a single room.

The costs of such a retreat includes full-board meals and meditations.

Online participation from the Location Asharum Amonines

We have recently gained very good experiences with facilitating different programmes through an online connection.

All retreats of 2022 were followed at three locations (Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands) and at many people’s homes. By keeping the meditation room available online through a Skype or Zoom connection, the energy of the place is also felt and supportive in your home. You participate in all programme components and we help to create the right ambiance at home for a powerful experience.

“Discover your belief in your heart
And transcend your heart in Love
In Love, belief and religion are transcended
In Love you will find meaning and joy”
