SUMMARY:Christmas & New Year Vipassana Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Vipassana Retreat during Christmas & New Year\n\n\n\n25 December 2026 – 2 January 2027\, it is also possible to join the 26th or 27thGudhjem\, Bornholm \n\n\n\nOne Full Week Vipassana Retreat on Bornholm \n\n\n\nArrival: 25 December\, 16:00–18:00Departure: 2 January\, 10:00 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to spend all of Christmas with your family\, it is also possible to arrive on 26th or 27th December. \n\n\n\nSpend the quiet days between Christmas and New Year immersed in Noble Silence in the beautiful natural surroundings of Bornholm — perhaps beneath blue winter skies and sparkling snow. \n\n\n\nStep away from the busyness of the holiday season and enter a week of stillness\, simplicity and deep inner practice. \n\n\n\nWe begin by calming and concentrating the mind through awareness of the breath. From there\, we gradually move into the practice of Vipassana — learning to observe the changing sensations of the body with awareness and equanimity. \n\n\n\nLet go of the old\, purify the mind\, and enter the New Year with greater clarity\, peace and an open heart. \n\n\n\nA beautiful way to end one year — and begin the next. \n\n\n\nThe Practice \n\n\n\nVipassana invites us to meet what we normally push away\, react to or become entangled in — physical pain\, difficult emotions\, restless thinking\, triggers and the challenges of life. \n\n\n\nRather than suppressing or escaping our experience\, we learn to stay present and observe it with equanimity. \n\n\n\nAs awareness deepens\, the mind gradually becomes less reactive. Old patterns and conditioning begin to loosen\, and beneath the constant movement of thoughts\, emotions and sensations\, we may discover a deeper inner stillness. \n\n\n\nThroughout the retreat\, we cultivate concentration through awareness of the breath and develop equanimity through direct observation of bodily sensations. \n\n\n\nIs This Retreat for You? \n\n\n\nA silent retreat is an invitation to turn inward — to feel what is here rather than immediately talking about it\, acting it out or moving away from it. \n\n\n\nUpon arrival\, we collect all phones. This helps create a space where everyone can be fully present. If someone close to you needs to be able to reach you in an emergency\, we can provide an emergency contact number. \n\n\n\nPlease join only if you are willing to commit to the retreat schedule. At times\, the mind may say: I need to rest. I need to walk. I don’t want to sit anymore. Meeting this reactivity with awareness is itself part of the practice. \n\n\n\nThrough Noble Silence and Strong Determination\, we practice: \n\n\n\nWe are where we are.We do what we do.We are with what is. \n\n\n\nA retreat can bring strong emotions and sensations to the surface. We support you through teacher interviews and individual check-ins\, helping you understand and integrate what arises and answering questions about your practice. \n\n\n\nYour Teachers \n\n\n\nKristina and Stephan have guided meditation retreats together for many years. \n\n\n\nDrawing on decades of dedicated meditation practice\, they support participants in meeting the changing landscape of body and mind with presence\, compassion and equanimity. \n\n\n\nAgain and again\, we see how physical discomfort can soften\, emotional storms can pass and compulsive thinking can loosen its grip when experience is met with steady awareness rather than resistance. \n\n\n\nThe methods we teach are the methods we live. \n\n\n\nIncluded \n\n\n\n\n\nOne full week of guided Vipassana practice and Noble Silence\n\n\n\nDaily meditation instruction and teacher support\n\n\n\nVegetarian meals\n\n\n\nAccommodation in comfortable shared double rooms with separate beds\n\n\n\nMaximum 8 participants\, creating a personal and intimate retreat environment\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation \n\n\n\nGamlevældevej 323760 GudhjemBornholm \n\n\n\nYou can fly directly from Copenhagen to Bornholm. A less expensive option is KOMBARDO EXPRESSEN\, combining bus and ferry from Copenhagen to Rønne. \n\n\n\nOn 25 December\, we can pick participants up at approximately 15:00 from either Rønne Ferry Terminal or Bornholm Airport. \n\n\n\nCheck-in at the retreat house is between 16:00 and 18:00. \n\n\n\nThe retreat ends on 2 January at 10:00. Participants can arrange shared transport to Rønne Ferry Terminal or Bornholm Airport. \n\n\n\nContribution \n\n\n\nAccommodation: €400Vegetarian meals: €400Retreat and teacher contribution: €400 \n\n\n\nTotal: €1\,200 \n\n\n\nRegistration & Payment \n\n\n\nYou register through payment.

SUMMARY:SINGING\, SILENCE & OPENING OUR HEARTS IN ASSISI
DESCRIPTION:🕊️ An Easter Meditation Retreat \n\n\n\nImagine celebrating Easter in Assisi\, one of the most sacred places in the world\, surrounded by the beauty and divine presence of St. Francis and St. Clare. \n\n\n\n🎶 SINGING OUR HEARTS OPENFeel yourself sitting together with others\, accompanied by the beautiful sounds of the harmonium\, singing our hearts and crowns open as our bodies gently soften and awaken through Yin Yoga and conscious breathing.No singing experience is needed. Just an open heart and the willingness to let your voice be heard. \n\n\n\n🕊️ SACRED SILENCE & MEDITATIONThrough Stephan’s guided meditations\, we enter the stillness of the eternal NOW and the warm\, loving presence of saints.Sacred Silence is the foundation of our retreat. No talking\, no phones\, no media\, no books\, no notes. Just being here and now.Within the safe and loving space of the retreat\, we are invited to be fully present with whatever arises in our hearts\, minds and bodies.Every movement\, every action\, every step becomes an invitation to mindfulness.A space where the heart can soften and the presence of divine love reveal itself. \n\n\n\n❤️ FORGIVENESS & MIRACLESInspired by the teachings of Jesus and A Course in Miracles\, we explore forgiveness\, healing and the miracle of changing our perception.Opening to the possibility that as we change our minds\, we change the world we experience. \n\n\n\n🌸 EASTER IN ASSISIWalking in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare\, we visit sacred churches and join beautiful Easter celebrations filled with singing\, prayer and candlelight.Assisi is a powerful sacred place\, breathing devotion and carrying the blessings of centuries of spiritual practice.From dawn until night\, monks and nuns chant\, walk and pray in a rhythm that has lived for centuries. We gently attune ourselves to this sacred rhythm\, allowing it to deepen our own silence\, devotion and connection with the divine. \n\n\n\n🌿OUR RETREAT HOMEWe will share these holy days in our beautiful Margarita house in Santa Croce\, Assisi\, with a maximum of 12 participants.Food prepared with love\, enjoyed in silence and gratitude 🌿❤️ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n🌞 THE HEARTS HOLDING OUR RETREAT \n\n\n\n✨🕯️ Stephan Pende Wormland brings more than 40 years of meditation practice and a lifetime devoted to exploring and sharing the path of inner awakening. \n\n\n\n❤️🪱 Kristina Fryd is a bodyworker and retreat facilitator who holds a loving space for forgiveness\, healing and inner transformation. \n\n\n\n🎶🪽 Martin is a devotional singing guide who has studied The Tone from Heaven with Ghita Ben-David and Lars Muhl.He has a beautiful gift for opening himself as a clear channel for divine sound and helping people of all singing abilities discover their own voice.He often combines sacred sound with Yin Yoga and breathwork\, allowing the body to open and become an instrument for divine sound.🌿 Alex is our wonderful retreat chef\, nourishing us with delicious vegetarian meals lovingly prepared throughout the week is a constant pillar of support in all our retreats. \n\n\n\nRegistration and Payment \n\n\n\nRetreat Requirements and Cancelation policy \n\n\n\nYou register through payment.

SUMMARY:Loving Awareness - A silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Heart Practices Inspired by the Tibetan Tradition\n\nA Silent Retreat with Stephan Pende Wormland\n\n4–8 August 2027\nTyresö\, Sweden \n\nThis retreat is an invitation into silence\, presence\, and the simple warmth of the heart. \n\nDuring these days\, we will explore heart practices inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition—practices that help us soften\, open\, and come into more direct contact with ourselves and with life. \n\nAgain and again\, we return from the noise of the mind to something quieter and more essential: a loving awareness that is already present. It is not something we need to manufacture\, but something we can gradually learn to recognize and trust. \n\nThe retreat will include silent sitting meditation\, guided heart practices\, walking meditation\, mindful movement\, gentle contemplative inquiry\, and time to rest deeply in stillness. \n\nThe emphasis is not on performance or achievement\, but on simplicity\, sincerity\, and allowing the heart to open in its own way. \n\nWe will remain in silence throughout the retreat and abstain from social media\, news\, and messaging. This gives the mind time to settle—and the heart a little room to breathe. \n\nThis retreat is for those who long for silence\, depth\, and an atmosphere of genuine practice. \n\nDates and Arrival\n\nWednesday\, 4 August 2027 \n\nYou are welcome to arrive from 16:00.\nThe retreat begins with dinner at 18:00. \n\nSunday\, 8 August 2027 \n\nThe retreat ends at 14:00\, after lunch. \n\nVenue\n\nFatbursbacken 8\n135 60 Tyresö\nSweden \n\nPrices\n\n\n  4\,900 SEK – for participants who live nearby and sleep at home\n  5\,500 SEK – camping on the grounds or at the neighbouring property\, with access to a bathroom\n  6\,500 SEK – shared double room\n  7\,500 SEK – single room; only one available\n\n\nRegistration\n\nTo register or ask questions\, please contact Mårten and Bishakha: \n\nEmail: mozon63@gmail.com\nTelephone: 0739-347566 \n\nAbout the Teacher\n\nStephan Pende Wormland is a meditation teacher with decades of experience in Buddhist practice\, mindfulness\, and contemplative work. \n\nHe lived for many years as a Tibetan Buddhist monk and has spent long periods in retreat. His teaching is grounded\, spacious\, and experiential\, with an emphasis on direct inner discovery rather than concepts alone. \n\nHe brings together the depth of the Tibetan tradition with a simple and human way of guiding meditation—one that speaks not only to the mind\, but also to the heart. \n\nA Simple Daily Rhythm\n\n\n06:00 – Wake-up\n06:30 – Morning mindful movement\n07:00–08:00 – Meditation\n08:00–09:00 – Breakfast\n09:00–11:00 – Meditation and walking meditation\n11:00–11:30 – Break\n11:30–12:30 – Meditation\n13:00–15:00 – Lunch break\n15:00–17:00 – Meditation and walking meditation\n17:00–17:30 – Break\n17:30–18:30 – Questions and reflections\n19:00–20:00 – Dinner\n20:00–21:00 – Evening Dakini practice
