Transformative Silent Meditation Retreat with Janusz Welin & Friends — hosted by Rían Doris
Imagine emerging from a deeply immersive retreat feeling renewed—your mind more tranquil than ever, your body rejuvenated, and your meditation practice elevated to an entirely new level…
A unique opportunity to dive deep into a week of meditation practice with a world leading meditation teacher so you can build momentum in your practice that will carry you for years to come…
Whether you’re a beginner looking to establish a solid foundation, a returning practitioner hoping to reboot an existing practice, or an advanced meditator seeking that next leap, this retreat is designed for you.
This retreat is based on Shinzen Young's meditative approach. In a small-group environment of close friends of Rían's, you’ll receive personal mentoring, real-time feedback, and breakthroughs rarely found in larger programs.
The intimate format will propel you into deeper meditative states, helping you build momentum and clarity that continue to compound after you leave.
About Your Teacher: Janusz

Janusz began meditating in their teens, integrating practice into every facet of daily living. Janusz studied with numerous living masters and was empowered to teach by Shinzen Young since 2013. Janusz blends traditional meditation systems with Attachment Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.
Retreat Overview
"A mind without a contemplative practice is like a body without exercise. If spirituality were a verb, it would be 'meditating'—it is the doing of spirituality." – RIAN'S BIGGEST LEARNINGS FROM 2024
