Close your eyes and you will see
Even with a conventional mindset you can appreciate what an Acem retreat has to offer: a swim in the lake, a walk in the woods, a room with a view, and interesting conversations with people from various parts of the world. The benefits of spending a week of your summer holiday sitting alone in your room with closed eyes for several hours a day may be less obvious. In fact, however, long meditations are where you pave the way for more fundamental changes in your life.
This year's international summer retreats help you recharge your batteries, and make subtle changes in the direction of your life. You save €100 by registering and paying before 1 June. 
“I get too excited and want too much.” Rune Grønn compares playing the guitar with the process of meditating. "Your sensitivity and technique need to be practised and refined over time." At Acem retreats he rediscovers parts of his lost childhood.
