A Modern Retreat Center for human Evolution

About Us

Our community was created to unite people who are interested in finding an answer to the question of the meaning of their existence! The very solution to this question is possible only through practical experience. Getting such experience is impossible without a certain mental and physical preparation. That means seeing, understanding and interacting with one’s life on a much higher level.

Such an inner change – a person’s maturation – is possible when he starts to change himself for harmonious interaction with his life – to develop consciously without suffering but in joy and happiness! When a person starts to search for a practical solution to all these questions, he looks for a Teacher and an environment of like-minded people.

The task of our community is to form an environment of people ready for such inner changes as quickly as possible. Our education system is based on practical knowledge, passed on unbroken from generation to generation, from teachers to students.

We offer a path of inner change – you will change the world around you by changing yourself!

Our training courses and various formats provide the necessary experience for those looking for tangible results. We have created the most optimal conditions for rapid and positive inner change for all who are ready to work on themselves, allowing them not only to change their lives for the better but also to make a positive contribution to the world around them!

We are convinced that internal changes in each person are the key to positive changes in society as a whole. We are creating an environment of people committed to the principles of mutual support, love and helping our world. This will set a good example for many people around us!

After the Transformation Retreat & the Immersion Course participants can choose to stay on-site in a co-learning environment at one of our study centers. This qualifies a person for the opportunity to become a full student of the school and participate in the Paradanta Meditation course.

After the Paradanta Meditation course students can choose to become part of the team, training takes place at the maximum speed of internal changes to realize the main goal of each person’s life – Full Awakening (full realization, exit from the wheel of samsara). The Team is also training instructors of mindfulness practices and teachers of the initial stages of meditation.
The team is in a constant learning mode, being in the field of a fully realized teacher.

For those who are taking regular steps in their development, our co-living, co-learning environment creates the ideal conditions for rapid inner growth and popularization of the practice in the world.
