Below is an example of a typical day we will experience at the retreat. However, there will also be days when you may want to spare time to wander through the village, or organize an activity that calls you. You may also wish to simply receive the space and time to reflect and enjoy the opportunity to disconnect from your everyday life at home in the powerful energy of the land of the rising sun.

​

7.30 Meditation

8.00 Yoga
