Unplug from the demands of daily life and join us for 4 days and 3 nights in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, for a complete immersion into rest and rejuvenation.
Our long weekend rounding retreat is masterfully designed to provide you with the time to release deep-rooted stress and fatigue with industrial strength meditation - a practice that paves the way for accelerated progress into higher states of consciousness and bliss.
When you come away with us, you'll enhance your meditation experience and connect with a community of meditators, all while learning the powerful technique of Rounding, which you'll be able to integrate into your meditation program at home.
You'll receive nourishing chef prepared Ayurvedic meals designed to support your rounding practice and you'll leave the retreat with greater clarity and inspiration to step into the next chapter of life.
The depth and immersive experience of this long weekend retreat of rounding is equivalent to about 6 months of daily meditation. All Vedic meditators from beginner through advanced are invited to attend 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.
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 $600 (discounted from $800 outside of our retreat setting).
