About the event

Choose Love: Meditation Retreat

Everyone has the capacity to feel a deep connection empathy and love for others which produces tremendous inspiration and happiness. Unfortunately we have long-standing bad habits of thinking that result in feeling disconnected critical and unhappy with others.


During this retreat Gen Demo will explain and guide meditations to free ourselves from these negative habits and feelings and tap into our natural capacity for love and joy.


No previous experience is necessary and absolutely everyone is welcome. The retreat sessions will include practical instruction guided meditations and time for questions; and we invite you to stay afterwards to enjoy light refreshments and meet Gen Demo.
