The depth and immersive experience of this long weekend retreat of rounding is equivalent to 6 months of daily meditation. All Vedic meditators from beginner to advanced are invited to enjoy this rounding retreat.
The practice of Rounding (also known as Industrial Strength Meditation) involves a sequence of yoga asana, pranayama, and meditation. The effects of this combination are powerful yet the sequence of Rounding itself is gentle. A rounding retreat provides an opportunity to complete multiple rounds in a day which paves the way for deeply rooted release of stress. All ages and body types can easily practice this program with modifications available if necessary.
*For students wishing to attend Initiator Training with Thom Knoles, this rounding retreat meets the High Rounding prerequisite.
"Rounding has been a welcome addition to my practice. I appreciate the gentle sequencing leading up to meditation, and I’ve also found it to be an ease full way of starting the morning or ending a workday.
Since learning rounding, I’ve experienced both deeper meditations as well as moments of intense stress release.
I look forward to my practice each day even more, knowing that I’m taking the time for myself so that I can be the best version of myself.”
If you have been meditating consistently for at least 1 year you are eligible to receive an Advanced Technique while on retreat.
Advanced Techniques are designed to expand upon the subtlety you have accessed within meditation into the eyes open state to maximize awareness and refine the senses.
If you would like to receive an Advanced Technique while on retreat this can be arranged for an additional cost of $650.
