A day going inward in silence, guided by two experienced facilitators, including a meditative tea ceremony, surrounded by beautiful nature and warmed by the fire inside a magical yurt.
Are you:
- Curious about what meditation can bring you?
- Longing for nature?
- Someone who wants to go inward and find inner peace?
- Looking for balance and silence in your life?
- Too busy, missing quality time with yourself?
We invite you to come and share the gift of silence and a Chinese tea ceremony in the magical yurt Ramana at the wild river banks of the Rhine, every month of the year.
SILENCE
In our society, we tend to be outwardly focused seeking happiness and love. Turning the gaze inward allows us to realize we already have everything we need. Silence can help you to remember what is true and what is important, so your circumstances no longer need to change in order for you to be happy or content. By anchoring yourself in silence, you can make peace with the mind, setting you free.
NATURE
Intentional time spent in nature can help you to slow down, reconnect with yourself and receive the gift of the present moment. Being in the presence of mother nature, with little to no distraction, can remove obstacles from your life, transform negative beliefs that impede your growth and help you connect to your inner light.
TEA CEREMONY
A tea ceremony helps use to find stillness within and deepen your meditation. The use of tea (Camellia sinensis) dates back thousands of years, when Buddhist monks discovered how tea could benefit their spiritual practice. Tea is a medicine which is beneficial for mind, body and spirit and the ceremonial preparation of pu-erh tea (a unique type of tea which is fermented and aged) can help you improve clarity, concentration and alertness in meditation, while maintaining a grounded sense of relaxation.

TESTIMONIALS
“Eva is an inspiration and spiritual guide that I can learn so much from. Showing me boundaries, surrender, dancing with life, jumping into the unknown. She knows how to surprise me. I am grateful for her loving and non judgmental presence, an example of a change-maker, completely aligned with who she is.” —Nicky
“Being comfortable around Sacha requires you to drop your insecurities and your false personal stories because you cannot project that onto him. It feels like he does not care about your story, but he deeply cares about you. And for that he is one of the most loving persons I have ever met.” –Adrien
“I’m so grateful to have been able to spend a week with Eva. She is so cool. I love it. I feel so willing and excited to explore surrender and deeper softness just from being around her. The silent presence she has been holding has been uncomfortable for me at times, and has helped me so much, I can’t even begin to say. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” —Jason
“Sacha is without any kind of judgement. Open, delicate, sweet, wise, but also still. I loved his guided meditations, I really went deeper in myself. I love his delicacy and tact towards everyone.” —Anna
