In this retreat\, practice is 24 hours a day (including sleeping). You practice mindfulness in sitting\, walking\, standing\, and lying positions\, and during all other activities such as eating\, brushing teeth\, etc. Consequently\, the practice is uninterrupted\, relaxed\, and natural. \n  \nFacilities:  \n\nYou have your own room\, but we also practice together in the meditation hall during the day and evening\, alternating between sitting and walking. There is a Dhamma talk every evening\, and you have a short conversation (interview) with the teacher every day.\nThe location is very suitable for intensive meditation practice.\nThe food is vegetarian.
