General rules:

Rules for Meditations:
1. The place for meditation in the hall is determined once during the first meditation and does not change further. The participant remembers the location of his mat in space and goes to his place each time.
2. Participants come to the meditation hall in advance and prepare a place for themselves. In such a way that when the Master arrives, all participants will be in their places, ready to accept the Gift of meditation in the Light of the Supreme Grace. After the Master appears in the hall, it is forbidden to move around the hall and make noise.
3. It is forbidden to enter the hall after the Master has entered. Late participants should go to their place of residence, tune in to the Master and immerse themselves in meditation.
4. For meditation, the retreat center provides a mat, pillow and blanket. For convenience, each participant can take their own familiar things with them (a softer rug, extra pillows or a blanket). The organizer does not guarantee individual convenience for each participant.
5. It is forbidden to move around the hall during meditation and leave the hall until the meditation is completed. If there is an urgent need to leave the hall before completion, the participant should do this as silently as possible, without disturbing others or disturbing the meditation.
6. After the Master’s signal about the end of the meditation, the participants leave the hall silently, without creating noise and without touching the bodies of other participants, because meditation for the rest continues. Each participant comes out of the meditation independently according to his own feelings.
