Awaken. Connect. Begin Again.

Welcome Home To Yourself

Welcome to a space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover the truth of who you are.
Here, we walk the path of radical awareness, self-realization, and deep inner transformation.

Who are we?

We are a conscious community, united in a life of connection, awareness and simplicity.

Each day we come together to slow down, meditate, and practice conscious living that nurtures clarity and self-awareness. Our shared journey is about growing side by side - supporting each other through daily operations, reflections, and challenges.

Together, we explore the nature of the mind, uncovering the roots of our discontent. This is a space where we can drop our masks, be real, be seen, and to share honestly. By sharing our challenges, doubts, and emotions with honesty, we bring clarity, dissolve doubt, and find a deep sense of peace with ourselves and with life, exactly as it unfolds.

Self Realization Retreat

Join us for a deep transformative journey into self-realization and conscious living through meditation, self-inquiry, and daily practices. Discover clarity, emotional resilience, and the freedom to be as you are.

At The Essence, we offer Self-Realization Retreats—

yet what we truly offer is a way of life.

Our retreats are not separate from daily life. They are our daily life.
Whether or not guests are here, our rhythm stays the same—rooted in presence, simplicity, and conscious slow living.

You’ll be stepping into a space that doesn’t just speak about awareness—it lives and breathes it.

Each day is devoted to practice, rest, and meaningful connection. Between sessions, we also tend to our conscious community projects, integrating inner work with outer service.

We welcome you to join us—whether for a short stay or a longer journey.
You’ll be held in a supportive, distraction-free environment that invites you to turn inward and come home to yourself.

Here, we reflect. We remember. We simply are.

"This community feels like a family that is not afraid to talk about the painful and awkward things. I have learnt a lot about myself, my underlying beliefs and the stories I’ve been unconsciously telling myself for years. It feels very freeing to be here and I would recommend everyone to come if they want to experience that there is more to life, as long as they are willing to work on themselves and to face themselves."
