SUMMARY:Weekend in Malmö
DESCRIPTION:Be Still and Know Who You Are – Weekend Retreat in Malmö — a grounded taste of Tantra \n\n\n\nWhat if the real gift of a spiritual path isn’t “becoming better”… but discovering a true refuge that can’t be taken away? \n\n\n\nNot a refuge that depends on your mood\, your relationship status\, your nervous system behaving nicely\, or life being kind. But something you can return to right where you are—even when the ground shakes: loss\, change\, heartbreak\, uncertainty. \n\n\n\nThis weekend in Malmö is an invitation into that kind of homecoming. \n\n\n\nIn the Tantric view (in the broad\, non-sectarian sense)\, awakening isn’t somewhere else. The doorway is this life\, this body\, this moment. We learn to recognize what is already here—beneath the stories\, beneath the strategies\, beneath the constant self-improvement project. \n\n\n\nAcross many traditions\, three “doors” appear again and again on the path of awakening. We’ll explore them as lived experience\, not as theory:• Truth — the simple reality of the present moment• Love — warmth\, kindness\, connection• Awareness — the silent wakefulness behind all experience \n\n\n\nIn Buddhism\, you might recognize these as the inner heart of Buddha / Dharma / Sangha. In Sanskrit they echo as sat (truth)\, ananda (bliss/love)\, chit (awareness). \n\n\n\nThis isn’t a weekend of big ideas. It’s practice—simple\, honest\, and doable:• guided sitting meditation (with an emphasis on resting rather than forcing)• simple mindful movements to arrive in the body and soften the mind• inquiry into “Who am I—when I stop performing myself?”• relational warmth in a quiet\, respectful container (Tantric in the sense of inclusive presence\, not performance)• time for integration and silence \n\n\n\nYou’ll be invited to explore how the outer refuges (teachings\, community\, inspiration) can become portals to the inner refuges: living truth\, boundless love\, and pure awareness. \n\n\n\nFor whom: This weekend fits you if you’re longing for something real\, and you’re tired of spiritual entertainment. It’s also for you if you want to reconnect with love — not as romance\, but as warmth\, kindness\, and a sense of belonging in your own life. Beginners are welcome\, and experienced practitioners usually appreciate the simplicity (and the occasional uncomfortable honesty). \n\n\n\nTake-home: Not a “peak experience.” More like a reliable inner orientation—a way back to yourself in ordinary life. A refuge to turn to every day. \n\n\n\nTime:Sat Feb 21 10.00 – 17.00Sun Feb 22 10.00 – 17.00 \n\n\n\nWith an hour lunch break around 13.00.(There is a kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator if you want to bring your own food\, or you can buy nearby) \n\n\n\nCost: 1200 SEK – (contact us if you are struggling financially for a reduced priced)You sign up through payment. It is possible to join only for one day.Payment options: \n\n\n\n\nDonation\n\n\n\n\nPlace:Vitemöllegatan 16C\, SE-214 44 Malmö\, Sverige \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: Comfortable clothes. Meditation pillow / yoga mat (if you have). \n\n\n\nAbout the teachers: \n\n\n\nStephan Pende is a meditation teacher with more than four decades of practice and over 20 years of experience guiding retreats across Europe. He was ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk for 11 years and spent many years in intensive retreat. His teaching is simple\, grounded\, and direct—mixing meditation\, gentle inquiry\, and embodied presence\, with a Tantric appreciation of ordinary life as the path. \n\n\n\nAlexander Walter is a passionate and dedicated practitioner of meditation with over 20 years of experience. He met Stephan about 15 years ago and has been following his guidance ever since. He has explored many different traditions and loves to write spiritual poetry.
