Two separate cabins built of wood, straw and clay in the old orchard of the Ordějov Meditation Centre at the foot of the White Carpathians (Bystřice pod Lopeníkem, Uherské Hradiště district). Each is for one person, about 18 m², with its own bathroom with a shower and flush toilet, underfloor heating, ventilation and a kitchenette with a kettle. The blue cabin is symbolically dedicated to feminine energy, the red one to masculine energy.
The approach is spiritual and focused on self-discovery; the website explicitly states that the aim is neither treating illness nor psychotherapy. The retreat starts at 4 pm with an introductory conversation, you enter the darkness after dusk, and at the end the round window is gradually uncovered at dawn. The guide brings food once a day, and a consultation with a therapist is available during the stay as needed. The price depends on the meals (your own food or fasting, a rice cleansing cure, full vegetarian or vegan board) and is paid in cash on site. However, the price list on the website is marked as valid until the end of 2023.
