To create Your own meditation getaway, we ask You to consider our chalet. It will provide You with most of the requirements to ease into a meditative state.

Create a peaceful atmosphere, no phones, comfortable clothing, soothing music, keeping lights low.

Use some props such as cushions, candles, running water, you just open the balcony door and listen to the river flowing nearby.

You may want to consider some of these widely used techniques;
