Zen Days take place regularly in the Zen Lab. On the Zen Day we would like to create a special space of silence, to enable a retreat into silence. The silence can help you to become aware of what is really important to you at the moment.

​

If you have any questions about the Zen Day or you are unsure whether you are "experienced" enough, just write to us! :) 

​

On half a sitting day we meditate for 4 periods (40 min each, with walking meditation in between). On a full sitting day between 6-8 periods with a shared lunch in silence and a short exchange afterwards. Lunch is provided.

​

Please register in advance by email.

 

Half a sitting day: Contribution 20-25€, duration approx. 9.00-13.30

Full sitting day: Contribution 30-40€, duration approx. 9.00-18.00

​

With your contribution you help to cover our rental costs and thus the maintenance of the Zen Lab. If the financial effort is a hurdle for you, please contact us and we will find a solution together!
