Meditation Teachers Training Course
Daily Schedule
Our day will be very structured and balanced. This is an intensive teachers training program so keep in mind that there is not much free time at all. And most of the free time will truly be "study time" in preparation for the final exam.
This schedule is subject to change according to the needs of the teachers training and the scheduling of special activities.
