Note:
With the latest data, the 9-day retrear (11-day program) has proven the optimum short retreat. The results are superior and longer-lasting. Even so, we are considering the other authorised short retreat – a 5-day retreat. Those who have asked for this shorter retreat would understand that the benefits will not last as long as the 9-day retreat.
Programs over the last 3 years were 4-day, then 8-day – both at $3,500. The price will change when necessary to cover costs.
