Light On Life Retreat FAQs

Do I need prior meditation experience?
No. This retreat is designed for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. You will be gently guided through each practice, with space to explore at your own pace.

What does a typical day of the retreat look like?
A full day usually includes guided mindfulness practices in stillness and movement, personal reflection time, mindful meals, teacher conversations, and group sharing. There is a balance of structure and spaciousness so you can settle into your own rhythm.

Is the retreat silent?
To support deeper awareness and clarity, the retreat includes a Day of Silence, which starts from Day 2 after dinner and ends at Day 4 before breakfast. 

What should I pack?
Comfortable clothing suitable for a tropical climate, light layers, water bottle, swimwear (if you'd like to swim at the pool), insect repellent, sunscreen, and any other personal items you may need. Cushions, mats, and chairs are available at the centre.

Can I attend only part of the retreat?
For the integrity of the experience, you are encouraged to attend the full retreat. Arriving late or leaving early may be disruptive for both your and the group's learning. 

Are meals provided?
Yes, the centre provides wholesome plant-based meals, starting from dinner on Day 1 and ending at lunch on Day 5. If you have dietary needs, please indicate them in the intake form, and the kitchen team will do their best to accommodate.

What if I can't sit still for long periods of time?
Mindfulness practice is not about forcing the body. You may sit on a chair, use cushions, lie down, or take mindful breaks. You are welcome to adjust your posture whenever needed.

Is this retreat suitable for people with stress and anxiety?
Many participants come seeking clarity and emotional balance. This retreat is meant to be supportive, but it is not a substitute for clinical or medical treatment. If you're unsure, you are welcome to check in with the retreat teacher beforehand.

Is there free time during the retreat?
