A retreat experience
We try to include just about all experiences and conveniences of an on-site retreat in our online retreat. We try to achieve this goal by offering all of our services live (online), many hours of guided sessions every day, creating a group feeling, assisting the participants very closely and making it even possible to get in contact with fellow participants after the retreat.
Of course there are amenities we can’t offer online, such as meals and accommodation.
01
For 10 Euros a day
Yes, everything we offer is included - but the psychological assistance. The day starts at 6:30pm daily. So if you want to join another day you then pay another 10 Euros. This allows you to decide daily if you want to continue or if you want to join the live final exchange class before 6:30pm.
02
Difficulties to pay
No woriies. Just send us a email and we give you a free account – no questions asked. Please, be honest with yourself and with us: Don’t misuse this offer so that we can continue supporting those people who truly struggle to come up with 10 Euros a day for the retreat-
03
First day free
This is standardized. So there are no obligations coming with it – zero obligations. We want you to be sure that our retreat is something you would like to do for a few days. There are no obligations whatsoever. If you didn’t like it or you felt bad at the first day just don’t pay for day 2. ;) But it might also help to talk to us for a moment. The first days can be rather tough – though later on you might get rewarded with an inner peace you never felt before.
04
Live welcome session (online)
In this farewell group session, you will have time to exchange your undergone experiences if you wish to do so. You will also get a few instructions how to integrate the new experiences from the retreat in real life in the coming days. And how to best go back into real life in general.
05
Close and careful guidance (online)
With the welcome, farewell and daily instruction sessions taking place in small groups you will have time to place your questions, doubts, maybe even fears about the retreat. With three guided sessions a day there will be a group feeling that can carry you through the retreat.
06
Personal assistance
Also, if you happen to feel very bad mentally during the retreat or you simply wish to talk to the teacher you can do this by calling the teacher on whatsapp (phone number) daily - from 11am till 12am and from 2pm till 5pm.
If he*she is not available she or he will call you back the same day.
All 4 teachers are gifted with loads of empathy. So they will care about your questions or your wellbeing during the retreat.
07
Professional psychological assistance
Furthermore, we offer you the option of a certified psychotherapist who will be available (online) if you need a professional to talk to during the retreat. This has to be organized before the retreat. It costs an additional 10 Euros a day - on top of the regular fee of 10 Euros a day.
08
A group feeling
All the sessions are taught on a common zoom interface. All the participants are being motivated to turn on their camera as often as possible so everybody can see them and they can see others.
Also, you will be part of a “group” (if there are more than one participant at a time). There will always be the same participants in the daily live introduction session for the day (online).
09
The community
At the end of the retreat you will get exclusive access to the “Homeofnow Café” (online). This is a second zoom meeting to which you only get access after the retreat so you don’t get distracted from the meditating. So here you can have a coffee with fellow participants or chat privately with this person you already wanted to talk to during the retreat. Or maybe you even meet up in real life – for meditation or for whatever you guys have a reason to meet.

Professional psychological assistance (online)
You feel that a retreat would be great for you. But you feel insecure despite our personal assistance? You have psychological issues and you now are not sure if a on-site silent retreat or even this homeofnow retreat will do you any good? The solution here is our professional psychological assistance (online). The difference between our personal assistance is that you can talk to a certified, very experienced psychotherapist. Also, as this service costs an extra 10 Euros a day the response time to your call will be quicker because there are less people using this service. The psychotherapist can be called on whatsapp from ????? till ?????? daily. You can pay the 10 Euros even on short notice.
