7-days Meditation Retreat in Southern Italy with Buddhist Monk Gelong Thubten

“Unshakeable – Meditation for Fearless Living” is a week-long immersive retreat with internationally acclaimed Buddhist monk and bestselling author Gelong Thubten. Designed for those navigating stress, uncertainty, or emotional difficulty, the retreat explores how meditation and mindfulness can help us transform life’s challenges into opportunities for inner strength, resilience, and peace.

Across seven days, participants engage in guided meditation sessions, reflective practices, and practical exercises that support clarity, compassion, and fearless presence. Thubten’s teachings draw from more than 30 years of monastic training, including long-term retreats, and offer a grounded, accessible approach to working with the mind.

Set at Infinity, along Calabria’s Coast of the Gods, the retreat combines contemplative practice with the natural and cultural beauty of Southern Italy. Mindful walks, readings, picnics, and visits to nearby historical sites create space for reflection and integration. Seasonal meals prepared with local ingredients support the retreat’s emphasis on slowing down, reconnecting, and cultivating inner steadiness.

This retreat is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced practitioners seeking depth, renewal, and a compassionate, structured container for personal transformation.
