Meditation Retreat – Finally nothing!
3 Days at the Meditation Retreat in Burgenland
Finally, nothing – easier said than done. And you cannot do it. The mind cannot be forced into stillness. It finds stillness – when you stop trying to make it.
Attention that interferes changes what it intends to observe. Only when action ceases does the mind reveal itself as it is.
The brain constantly constructs a self-model – a coherent story made of memories, expectations, and roles. In silence, this model begins to lose its significance. What then becomes visible is clearer than any analysis. (after Thomas Metzinger)
Four days at the meditation farm provide the setting for this: simplicity, silence, time. Sitting and walking alternate. Daily life recedes. What remains reveals itself.
The meditation practice focuses on what is in the now – awake, open, without the desire to shape it differently. With insights from philosophy and consciousness research, space for questions and conversation, and time for non-doing. Time for silence.
