Learn to Meditate at the Young Retreat

The International Young Retreat is an ideal place to learn Acem Meditation. 

Meet young meditators from around the world and dive into the meditative experience, in the beautiful Swedish countryside. 

The retreat has an open and inclusive vibe, with varied social activities. If you don’t know anyone going to the retreat, don’t worry, you will quickly feel a sense of belonging. This is not a silent retreat, but a retreat with frequent social interactions.

Topics covered during the beginner's course at the International Young Retreat include:

  • Brief introduction and personal instruction
  •  Applying the basic principles to your own practice
  •  From stress relief to personal process
  •  Scientific research and the psychology of meditation

You learn how to use Acem Meditation for relaxation and stress management, and you lay the foundation for a fascinating process of personality development and self-understanding.

The book Acem Meditation - An Introductory Companion is included in the course fee. While you cannot learn the technique from a book, a CD, or the Internet, the psychology of meditation stimulates your practice and provides a fuller understanding of the process.

After the course, you can practise the technique on your own, whether you choose to become a regular meditator or to meditate whenever you feel the need.

All instructors have been through several years of training and have long teaching experience.
