16-Day Advanced Deepening Retreat

This kind of advanced deepening retreat of 16 very intensive days is for Acem meditators who want to practise particularly long meditations and who already have experience from at least six weeks of deepening retreats. Participation presupposes regular meditation habits (30 min x 2 or 45 min x 1 daily) and no psychedelic or other psychoactive drugs the past 12 months. Participation from the first to the last day of the retreat is required.

Meditation will be possible from 15.00 on the first day. Participants should try to arrive early enough to meditate several hours from day 1.  

Advanced Deepening Retreat offers meditations lasting more than 24 hours, combined with process-oriented guidance, walk-and-talk sessions, and meditative yoga. After each long meditation, there is an evening seminar focusing on the meditative process based on the participants’ experiences. This facilitates the cultivation of subtler levels of free mental attitude and mentalistic sound repetition.

The retreat stimulates fundamental inner processes of change. The aim is to open the mind to meditative silence. Together with the rest of the program, the long meditations will help loosen the grip that time and the body have on us. Psychological investments and low self-images are helped to let go.

People over the age of 75 are not recommended to attend retreats involving especially long meditations, and those who do participate must consider the possible health-related challenges themselves.

Guidance groups are available in both English and Scandinavian languages.
