Learn to Meditate at the International Summer Retreat with Acem's Founder

Learning Acem meditation at an international summer retreat with Acem's founder at Halvorsbøle is an enriching experience that gives you a solid foundation to explore the technique and establish a meditation routine after the retreat.  

Personal guidance combined with group discussions and individual sessions ensures you get a good start. In addition, morning yoga, plenty of socializing, and evening seminars give you the full retreat experience, and you'll also meet more experienced meditators from many countries.  

You can check in from 3:00 PM on the first day.

As a participant in the beginner course at the retreat, you will follow a slightly different program for the first half of the retreat compared to the rest of the retreat. From Thursday, you will follow the same program as everyone else.

Beginner Course
On the first day of the retreat, you will be introduced to the technique and receive personal instruction. Over the next couple of days, you will get your first experiences with meditating, both on your own (in your room) and in group meditations, and you will learn the basic principles of the technique. Gradually, you can meditate for longer periods.

Evening Seminars
The evening seminars explore the psychology of meditation and help you improve your meditative practice.

Yoga
Daily sessions with basic Acem Yoga have a refreshing effect and make it easier to complete long meditations.

The retreat's activities provide rich and varied social interactions in an international environment.
