Learn to Meditate at the Young Retreat

Acem Meditation is easy to learn. Personal instruction and guidance ensure that you get a good start. Group discussions help you to deal with beginner’s problems and to establish a meditation routine.

About the course

Sound meditation

At the first meeting, you will receive individual instruction in Acem Meditation. You will learn the meditation sound, a sound suitable for meditation - without linguistic meaning. When you meditate, you sit comfortably in a chair, close your eyes, and repeat the sound effortlessly in your mind. It makes the body and mind relax. To try out the technique and for best results, 2 x 30 or 1 x 45 minutes of daily meditation is recommended.

Stress management and personality development

The last four meetings start with 30 minutes of joint meditation. Experiences are discussed and each meeting has a topic:

  • What is correct meditation
  • Long Meditation
  • Results and research
  • Personality development and the further process

Environment and Technical

All you need is a computer with a camera, and a microphone
