- Japa and mala meditation
- Mindfullness meditation

What is so special about Gozo?
Gozo is a tiny island in the mediterranean Sea, with 300 days of sun per year and a very rich history. Some say Gozo was part of Atlantis, some say it is the island of Calypso. What we know for sure is that nature is amazing here and that we have a lot of ancient temples, caves and other places with a very strong energy. The perfect place for a Meditation and Yoga Nidra Teacher training or Advanced Practitioner Course. We will practice our meditation and yoga nidra on beaches, cliffs and on remote spots on the island.
Where to stay?
You will stay at the lovely Quaint Boutique Hotels in Sannat or Xewkija.
