ÁSKĒSIS
Beyond the limits

Improving oneself

Áskēsis starts from the idea of an authentic culture that involves the being in its entirety without false divisions between mind, body, and spirit. During the retreat, participants will be constantly reminded to overcome their personal limits, to seek ascetic detachment from mental shadows and fears, and to dedicate their lives to cultivating virtues.

The training also directs participants towards the idea of a complete and therefore non-specialized training that the students can then continue and cultivate on their own.
