Meditation Guidance With Miles Kessler
Miles Kessler will be your guide for this retreat. Miles has years of experience both sitting on intensive retreats himself, as well as guiding meditators on their retreats. He will be giving daily inspiring meditation talks, practical instructions to apply directly to your meditation, meditation Q&A sessions, as well as the daily meditation interview.
Daily Meditation Interviews
To support your practice you will receive regular meditation interviews with Miles. In these 1-on-1 interviews, Miles will help you to clarify any confusion in your practice, stabilize your current meditative states, and give you precise instructions to help the natural unfolding of your practice on your meditation path.
Community Support
When you join this retreat you will be part of a community of sincere practitioners who will both challenge and support you in your practice. By sitting in a container of communal silence, mindfulness, and contemplation, you will discover spiritual intimacy and the power of collective practice.
"A community of spiritual friends and companions is the entirety of the spiritual life." - The Buddha
A Personal Invitation From Miles
"I am extremely happy to announce a 7-Day Mindfulness Meditation Retreat that I will be leading at the beginning of 2024 at the beautiful "Zusters van Denekamp" monastery in The Netherlands.
The past few years have shown that having the opportunity to retreat from our daily lives and spend time in personal contemplation in a supportive environment is not a given.
Being able to go on retreat is a rare and precious opportunity that takes unique internal and external conditions and resources.
You are invited to join me in this 7-day silent meditation retreat where together with a supportive community you will be able to reconnect to yourself, awaken insight, and deepen your practice.
So if this invitation speaks to you then it would be my honor to be your guide for this 7-day mindfulness meditation retreat.
With Love,
Miles Kessler
