Enjoy Daily Life Meditation Training

Enjoy a weekend of rest, renewal and connection to ourselves. Take a digital detox and discover our bliss and qualities that bring aliveness and presence in our life through gentle meditation, mindfulness and togetherness with oneself and others.

Sunone Leong is an experienced traveling meditation teacher, who has undergone five years intensive meditation training with Burmese teachers.

It will be a great sharing and we are so happy to have the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge and experience of Sunone.

Pre-workshop recommended preparations:

• Sleeping: Sleep as much as you can, and with good quality (turn off light, no sound disturbance and sleep early). Wake up earlier, sleep earlier a few days or everyday before the workshop.
• Food and beverage: Reduce intake of meat (if any) and alcohol a few days before the workshop. Eat lightly at dinner. Prepare medication for the workshop (if necessary)
• Technology: Reduce the coverage range of mobile, TV or electrical components, which will disturb good sleep and body rest. Turn off the wifi if not in use (during sleep time), don’t put the mobile phone near the bed while sleeping.

On the day:

• Noble silence will be observed during the retreat
• Please be seated in the meditation hall at least 5 minutes before the session. Comfortable clothing is recommended. Dressing in layers is also a good idea.
