Details of this retreat

Eqydo - the royal art of mind

A journey into clarity, presence, and inner balance

Discover a unique silent retreat designed for those who want more than meditation — a real reconnection with themselves. Held in the peaceful mountains of Romania, the Eqydo Silent Retreat offers seven days of deep stillness, sensory awareness, and mind-training guided by the Eqydo philosophy.

Eqydo is a simple and accessible method that teaches you how to feel the body’s sensations clearly and without reaction. It is a practice rooted entirely in direct experience — no imagination, no ritual, no beliefs required. Through a carefully structured sequence of breathing techniques, stillness meditation, dynamic sessions, and mindful walking, your attention becomes sharper, your mind calmer, and your inner balance stronger.

For seven days, participants enter Golden Silence: a gentle, supportive silence that allows the mind to settle. Without external distractions, you begin to observe how the mind works, why emotions arise, and how clarity naturally grows when you stay connected to your own sensations.

What You Will Experience
• Daily guided meditation sessions based on sensory awareness
• Breathing practices that stabilize attention and open the body
• Walking and dynamic meditation, practiced outdoors in the forested surroundings
• Evening discourses that explain the mechanics of the mind and the principles of Eqydo
• 1:1 time with the teacher for guidance and personal clarity
• Golden Silence throughout the retreat to allow deep introspection
• Nutritious vegetarian meals, prepared fresh every day, with vegan options available
• A grounded, supportive environment where you are invited to explore at your own pace

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is ideal for complete beginners, experienced meditators, and anyone who seeks:
• A reset from the intensity of daily life
• A clearer understanding of the mind
• A method they can take home and continue practicing
• Inner balance, emotional stability, and presence
• A peaceful environment surrounded by nature

Eqydo is simple, practical, and suitable for every age and background.

A Day at the Retreat

Your day begins at dawn with gentle breathing exercises, followed by stillness meditation and silent meals that help you stay anchored in the present moment. Afternoons combine mindful movement, personal practice, and rest. Evenings close with teachings that offer insights into attention, sensations, and the nature of inner clarity.

Every element is crafted to support deep rest, inner awareness, and a grounded understanding of yourself.

The Environment

The retreat takes place at Eqylife Center, located in the quiet village of Măgura, Romania — a place surrounded by forest, mountains, and the kind of silence that cannot be described, only felt. The natural setting amplifies the practice, offering fresh air, stillness, and a sanctuary away from modern noise.

What Makes This Retreat Unique
• A meditation method based entirely on real sensations, not visualization
• Silent immersion that brings profound inner clarity
• A teacher present throughout the retreat to guide your process
• A balanced structure that supports beginners and challenges advanced practitioners
• A warm, welcoming space created with care for every participant’s journey

What You Take Home

After seven days, you will leave with:
• A stable meditation practice
• A deeper understanding of how your mind works
• Tools for emotional balance and presence
• More clarity, more space, and a stronger connection with yourself

Many participants describe this retreat as a turning point — a moment where something shifts inside, opening a new direction in life.

Awesome experience
A heartfelt thank you to Mirel for an incredible retreat! For anyone finding the practice challenging, this experience truly shows you how to “eat an elephant with a spoon”—step by step—and helps set you firmly on the right path, both in practice and in life. The setting is deeply inspiring, and the teachings prove invaluable if you approach them with openness and trust the process.
The place is spotless clean and all the crystals offer art and something to study, even when weather is not good.
The food is healthy and more than enough. A meditator must take care not to eat too much of that good food, as it might interfere with the meditation 😋
