Not sure where to start?

Each experience offers a different rhythm of time, distance, and attention… but all of them begin in the same place: slowing down and becoming present.

If you’re unsure, start with what feels most accessible.

Or begin with the Solitude Guide if you want to start by practicing attention where you are.

Still not sure? Let Eremos help.
