Retreat Weekend Österlen
3-day retreat at Hallamölla Gård. A weekend retreat built around satsang, walks and shared meals. The Saturday afternoon held in silence. The retreat starts Friday afternoon and ends Sunday afternoon.
What this weekend is
If you are sincere with your meditation practice and want an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in a setting that can deepen your practice, this retreat is for you. In my personal experience there is great support in practicing with others in a peaceful environment. To have guidance, to be able to ask even the questions that challenge you, and to be exposed to the field of satsang, the teaching and the inner silence beyond words.
If you have the time, take this invitation to come into a more natural way of being.
Very welcome,

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials
Having participated in several satsangs and a retreat, Markus Atmananda contributes with great wisdom & heart, inner stillness, experience & humor. Many thanks!
Highly recommend to anyone who wishes to deepen and explore meditation.
Annica Dahlin
Markus Atmananda's teaching has helped me come into deeper contact with myself, by sitting in silence with him and through his intuitive understanding and guidance. In his presence I always feel deeply loved, embraced, and allowed to be as I am.
Ola Winberg
I came to Satsang wanting growth, wanting to be a 'good' meditator. That 'I' is quite disappointed today. Instead I was shown what is already here, the love that is so close, so pervasive. I didn't expect the tears and the courage, and I saw how natural it became to sit with a dying man, grieve a dog fully, love my parents so dearly. Knowing I'm no longer a project to be fixed makes life so much more beautiful.
Anders Persson
I first met Markus in 2017 during a workshop, and from that moment, something deep within me began to shift. Sitting in satsang with Markus has transformed my life, guiding me inward, helping me meet life’s challenges with greater presence, and offering me a sense of space, stillness, and peace.
I feel immense gratitude for the satsang each week, a place where there is room for stillness, contemplation, and community.
Johanna Jonsson
When I step into Markus's satsang, I often carry a subtle expectation. An idea that I am supposed to get somewhere, to understand something profound. But in Markus's presence, something else happens. There are no techniques to master, no conceptual mountains to climb. The "I-construction" that so desperately wants to turn life into a self-improvement project suddenly finds itself completely unemployed. It is a beautiful disappointment for the ego.
Through the wordless safety of Markus's presence, a doorway opens to a state of being that lies far beyond the ego's masks and defenses. In that stillness, I discover that what I was searching for was never a destination in the future. It was the love and the bottomless presence that is already here, just beneath the surface of my identification and confusion.

the teaching
The weekend is held by Markus Atmananda, a teacher whose work is rooted in decades of practice, inquiry, and time spent with realised teachers within the non-dual traditions. His teaching is not about ideas. It is about looking, together, at what is actually here.
Each day includes two satsangs. Satsang is not a lecture. It is a shared inquiry. A question is raised, or arises, and we stay with it until something real is seen. Not as theory. Not as something to believe. As something you recognise for yourself.
What people tend to notice first is the precision. There is no padding, no spiritual performance, no comfortable vagueness. What is offered is a depth of understanding that meets you where you are and does not leave you there.
the location
Hallamölla Gård sits inside Verkeåns nature reserve in eastern Skåne. The waterfall is a few minutes' walk. The practice space is a yurt beside Verkeån, the stream running alongside us as we sit. Meals are eaten together at a house next door.
