Deepening Your Meditation Practice: Recognizing Inner Transformation

How do we move from intellectual understanding to genuine inner experience? What subtle shifts signal true spiritual progress?

Join Venerable René Feusi for a transformative retreat, designed for everyone interested in understanding what is meant by spiritual progress in Buddhism, and for practitioners to refine their practice and gain clarity in their spiritual journey. Guided sessions, contemplative teachings, and deep reflection will help us explore:


  • How to recognize and cultivate the signs of inner transformation
  • The transition from intellectual understanding to lived experience
  • Key indicators that your practice is evolving at deeper levels
  • How to refine awareness and trust in your unfolding spiritual path

This retreat offers a rich opportunity for reflection and insight, helping you recognize and embrace the markers of genuine progress on the path to awakening.
