About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Retreat “The Depth”

The classic deep immersion method of Giving School, under the guidance of the realized teacher Genadiy Givin, is reaching a new level - now it is enhanced with a unique practice of meditation with whales on a paradise island.

An island where the mind quiets down and an encounter that changes everything.
- Mauritius
- Meditation with whales

Mark Twain wrote, "Mauritius was made first, and then heaven; and heaven was copied after Mauritius"

📍This island is the home to whales, a treasure in the middle of the Indian Ocean. A place without rush or informational (white) noise, where life flows in its own rhythm, following the laws of nature.

Sperm whales are the ancient guardians of the ocean, capable of meditating in groups. Their shared states create a unique field that inspires awe, joy, and deep sense of presence, even in those unfamiliar with meditative practices. Their sound vibrations harmonize the water, the Earth, the human body and psyche, helping to heal depression and reduce anxiety 🐋

An encounter with whales is an extraordinary life-changing experience.
Swimming with whales is becoming increasingly popular but true contact with these great creatures is only possible at a deep level of awareness ❗️
➡️During the retreat, the mind quiets down, the heart opens, and participants enter an awakened state of consciousness. Interacting with the whales in this state becomes a profound transcendent experience that shifts our perception and allows us to experience life beyond our usual boundaries. We can absorb their experience and integrate it into our lives.
