MIND RESET, GONG BATH & DINNER GATHERING
FOR GREATER CALM • DEEPER REST • RENEWED VITALITY
Do you find it difficult to truly switch off?
• Do you feel scattered, overwhelmed or “too much in your head”?
• Do you feel tension or tiredness in your body?
• Do you find it difficult to quiet your mind or slow down in the evening?
• Even when you rest, do you feel that you haven’t truly rested?
This workshop offers you a space to pause, ground yourself and reconnect with your body.
A SPACE TO SWITCH OFF AND QUIET THE MIND
You will experience a combination of simple somatic and breathing exercises, the deeply immersive experience of a Gong Bath, followed by time for rest and integration.
SCATTERED → GROUNDED → CALM
OVERWHELMED → RELEASE → DEEP REST
FATIGUE → RESTORATION → VITALITY
📃 WHAT TO EXPECT?
A combination of simple somatic and breathing exercises, a deep gong bath experience, and a final space for relaxation and integration await you.
PROGRAM:
16:00 – Talk on Hinduism with Swami Jyoti (in English, with Czech translation)
16:45 – Practical grounding and breathing techniques
17:15 – Gong bath
19:00 – Shared vegetarian dinner
SIMPLE SOMATIC TECHNIQUES
Through simple grounding and breathing exercises, we will shift our attention away from our thoughts and back to the body and the present moment.
You will take away practical techniques that you can use in everyday life whenever you need to slow down, feel calmer and reconnect with your centre.
SOUND MEDITATION
Make yourself comfortable, lying down or sitting, and allow yourself to be guided by the sounds of gongs, crystal singing bowls and other harmonic instruments.
There is nothing you need to do or any need to meditate “correctly” or in any particular way. This is a space for deep relaxation, quieting the mind and releasing tension.
INTEGRATION
A short period of silence to allow the experience to settle and to gently reconnect with yourself.
AND HOW MIGHT YOU FEEL AFTERWARDS?
CALMER • MORE GROUNDED • MORE RESTED
MORE CONNECTED TO YOURSELF • CLEARER-MINDED • RE-ENERGISED
And the “side effects” may include:
deeper sleep • less tension in the body • better concentration • greater inner stability • emotional release • finding it easier to slow down • a sense of lightness and vitality

TREAT YOURSELF TO MORE TIME FOR YOURSELF
The gathering takes place at Hrnčířský dvůr in Zvířetice (near Mladá Boleslav), a peaceful, green setting that naturally invites you to slow down and relax.
You don’t have to leave immediately after the program ends. Those interested have the option to stay overnight in the ashram’s meditative environment—or nearby—and extend their rest into the following day.
Accommodation is simple and modest; it provides the essentials for sleeping and resting, but please do not expect hotel-style comfort or luxury.
This way, you won’t have to rush back to your daily routine in the morning. You can enjoy the silence, the garden, and the surrounding nature; relax, go for a walk, or explore the Hrnčířský dvůr grounds and its traditional pottery.
OVERNIGHT STAY OPTION: Simple accommodation is available directly at the ashram for early registrants at a discounted rate of 250 CZK per person. Once this capacity is full, accommodation can be arranged in the immediate vicinity starting at 500 CZK for a double room.
SLOW DOWN. REST. RECHARGE.
