Remembering What Truly Matters
The world is complex. Living in a big city is complex. The pace of urban life, to-do lists, errands, and a tech-saturated life leave little space to emotionally disarm, soothe the nervous system, and enter into a soft body and a silent, humble aliveness of the heart.
This retreat is an opportunity to inquire into being human, remember what truly matters in the short time that we are here, and infuse the city-sculpted mind with the intelligence of love – all in a supportive group environment. The days will weave together guided and silent meditation, group dialogue, and inquiry into the art of inner observation.
This is a great way in to discovering meditation as well as fine-tuning an existing practice in tandem with daily life.
Lodging & Meals
This is a non-residential retreat, meaning you will commute to the center each day and return to the comfort of your own home each evening to rest and integrate.
Refreshments and snacks will be provided, but this may not be sufficient for a nourishing lunch. We recommend bringing your own meals or checking out our favorite places to dine.
Prepare
There is value in coupling a meditation retreat with daily life at home. This format bridges the gap between deep retreat space and regular life, strengthening our capacity to remain inwardly aware and connected while in the mundane.
We recommend preparing your home life beforehand so you can rest deeply each evening. Consider asking family members for quiet time, perhaps unplugging from digital devices, and reducing household chores until the retreat concludes.

Facilitator
Vova Kuperman
Vova aspires to become literate at being human. In early twenties he had a flashback to a childhood memory of being miraculously healed from a chronic illness by a touch of a hand. Years later, his thirst for answers took him out of software engineering and through many books, places, people, countries and experiences, eventually settling down to explore within.
With many years of an in-depth dedication to meditation, introspection, healing arts, and somatic practices, he continues to probe into the depth of existence. The direction of his work is set on maturing the capacity to sense with discernment into the subtle sheath of psycho-energetic imprints that span across mental, emotional, physical and energetic domains.
Further emphasis are attended to the extraordinary psychosomatic relationship between thought and matter.
For over a decade, he has been restoring hearts and sharing his findings via various modalities including developing emotional intelligence, rites of passage work, one-on-one and group self-discovery and meditation classes, retreats in remote wilderness as well as in the comfort of a meditation center. This work is his labor of deep love and the most sincere blueprint of his individuality.
” The health of Self-Esteem depends on the capacity to unbind and individuate the energetic system from the collective/peripheral thought influences. In this difficult task, developed discernment and navigation in the realms of energy are essential. “
