A space that’s quiet, and beautiful, and expansive, and calm. A terrace maybe, with mats on the floor - at a slight incline for comfort. A backrest even. Arranged spreading out like the petals of a sunflower. It has a view - devoid of the city’s bustle or its skyline - revealing just the sky and the clouds. Clouds come and go at a pace that’s not immediately perceivable. But when you look at it for a while, you notice it change. Just as your thoughts and moods do.
The space is devoid of stimulus. No devices, no talking, no music, no clocks to track time, no text to induce thoughts. There might even be partitions peppered with plants. To obscure fellow meditators around you. Leaving you only to your thoughts - and the sky for your eyes to rest on. There is food and water - something simple like poha and warm jeera water to help yourself to
The experience will be beautiful. But parts of it will be hard and unfamiliar. When you feel lost, or spiralling, or uncomfortable. A card carrying a sentence or two will serve as instructions. With empty space on the reverse to jot down particularly exciting or insightful thoughts to calm the mind down. But it’s a single card so you will let more thoughts pass than you capture.
Stay as long as you like. When you’ve unwinded, detoxed, and reset to your satisfaction - at the exit, make a payment that feels right. Get a beautiful date and time stamped on your card. Use it as a bookmark, pin it to your wall, or collect them in a box.
Sounds interesting!
