Zen Days

doodle_line.png

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 7-8 periods with lunch together, a mindfulness walk and a short discussion afterwards.

 

Half sitting day: Regular 20-25€, members 15-20€, duration 9.00-13.30 

Full sitting day: Contribution 30-40€, members 25-35€, duration 9.00-17.30, incl. vegan lunch :)

 

Please bring comfortable and warm clothes as it can be cold in the room. Meditation cushions, chairs and blankets are available. You can pay on site in cash or via Paypal.

​

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!
