Programmes

The society “Elijas nams” offers the following three- and five-day programmes at the meditation centre

1. Introduction to Christian meditation (a three-day course). Programme created for people without preliminary knowledge (or with incomplete knowledge) and meditation experience, willing to get acquainted with principles of meditation and to learn to meditate. The programme includes at least 3.5 h of meditation.

2. Contemplative meditation days (a three-day course). Programme created for people with preliminary knowledge and meditation experience, willing to develop and perfect spiritual life by learning to focus and preserve silence. The programme includes at least 6 hours of meditation.

3. Contemplative meditation days (a five-day course). Programme created for people with meditation experience, who have attended at least one meditation course at “Elijas nams” and received  permission of the director of “Elijas nams”  to take part in more intensive sessions. The programme includes at least 15 hours of meditation.

The meditation house can host 12 - 15 persons. This guarantees a special personal, discreet and qualitative approach for each participant of the programme. During the programme lectures,  practical meditations and individual negotiations with the contemplative practitioner take place and the participant has  the opportunity to take part in a service.

The programmes are very intensive as the aim is not only to help acquire new knowledge, but also to gain a new spiritual experience. These programmes are hosted by Dr. Juris Rubenis.

During the programmes silence must be observed. By being spiritually focused the participants  experience days full of real silence and peace helping one to acquire more inner peace, spiritual balance and a deeper sense of one’s life’s moments and events. This aim can be reached as the Mediation centre is situated in the middle of the forest, where you can hear only sounds of nature, as well as enjoy healthy, ecological vegetarian food.
