What You Practice
Sessions follow the 347 Method: align Body, Mind and Spirit (3), awaken through Morality, Mindfulness, Meditation and Wisdom (4), and carry the change into seven areas of daily life (7).
- Vipassana (insight) meditation: observing breath, body and mind with calm awareness.
- Sitting, walking and lying meditation, so the practice fits your body.
- Mindfulness for daily life: tools to handle stress, overthinking and emotions after you leave.
- Inner coaching: Master Kaie explains each step and adapts it to your level and intention.
- Guided, not silent: there are periods of silent practice, but you are never left without instruction.
Who Is This For?
Beginners, travelers, digital nomads, and anyone seeking mental clarity and emotional balance. Most students have never meditated before; experienced meditators come for deeper, practical guidance. It is a gentler alternative to a traditional 10-day silent Vipassana course.

What is Vipassana meditation and is it good for beginners?
Vipassana is an ancient Buddhist insight meditation that develops mindful awareness of body and mind. Yes, it is excellent for beginners — the 347 Awakening method blends Vipassana with practical inner coaching so even first-time meditators can experience profound clarity and calm in their very first session.
Is this a silent retreat or a guided retreat?
Our retreats are guided — Master Kaie teaches, explains, and supports you throughout. We do include periods of silent practice, but you are never left alone without instruction. This makes 347 Awakening far more accessible than traditional 10-day silent retreats.
