We experience that changing from a hectic daily routine to a quiet, meditative lifestyle takes time and energy. To enhance that process, it is best to have fewer distractions. To help maintain inner focus, it is suggested that a participant remain in Kainchi for the first week of an Immersion. Thereafter, it is helpful to limit off-campus trips for necessities to once per week, or as scheduled for group activities. This gives you the opportunity to participate more fully in the Immersion so you will gain the maximum benefit.
Part of the Immersion activities are pilgrimages to 3 sacred places near Kainchi. These will be a whole-day experience in the context of your Immersion into sacredness.
For your safety when going away on your own or in small groups, those on Immersion are asked to return back no later than 6:30 pm.
