the rules of good conduct

To ensure the smooth running of the Internship, your attitude during the retreat is very important.

The program of this internship is set up with a well-structured sequence. All the elements that make up this program have a specific function and no practice or activity is left to chance. They interact to create a harmonious experience. The program will actively engage you, except during free time.  

The program mobilizes your full attention and requires an active presence on your part.

To participate in this course, it is necessary to take part, without exception, in everything that is defined in the program  except optional activities.

We are a group and we share this experience TOGETHER. If you need to find a little solitude, no worries, you can do it during the free time which is very numerous and daily and precisely done to take some distance if you want and take time for yourself, this is also necessary.

The optional activities offered and included in the Internship program are not interchangeable with regard to a personal wish.

You will not be allowed to organize an activity yourself instead of the one offered in the program. 

However, you have 2 times a significant period of FREE TIME: the 1st at 3:30 a.m. and the 2nd at 4:45 a.m. %) You will just have to respect the departure and return times according to the SNY program.

Turkey is a beautiful country with so much to do that we could stay there a lifetime, which was my mom's choice :-) so we had to make choices.

The selection of so-called "optional" activities was made on the basis of several parameters, including geographic proximity and in optimizing the cost of the activity so that they can be financially accessible to all. If you are interested in certain tourist places not scheduled in this course, do not hesitate to extend your stay EXCLUDING the course or to come back during your next vacation.  

As you have seen, the program is organized with schedules that take into account the scheduling of the SNY program, the availability of the practice room, the constraints of the organization of Pastoral Vadi and the time constraints of the company. taxi which will be at our disposal for the activities. he therefore asked you to respect the schedules of the various classes and activities so that we can all start the Yoga and Meditation classes or leave / return on time to our optional activities.

While this experience will be rewarding, there can also be difficult times. Your stay with us is a break from your normal life, and at the same time you have come to work on yourself.

Leave your mind open, caring, tolerant of the different personalities and characters that make up the group.  

Do not come to this course out of curiosity!

Come to this internship to live immersive experiences full of meaning,

but also to spend a moment of exchange and sharing with others through a common practice of Yoga and Meditation.

A time to find yourself, take stock of yourself, your life, recharge your batteries and why not gain serenity, redefine your professional or family life orientations, review your priorities, find peace, balance and harmony ...


"... I look forward to spending this privileged moment of sharing with you under the Turkish sun ..."
Laetitia
