EP 5: JOE DISPENZA RETREAT — WHAT I WISH I KNEW BEFORE I WENT

After a long break, the Stillness of Heart podcast is back — and this time, I’m taking you with me to Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Progressive Retreat in Basel, Switzerland. Was it worth it? What is the retreat actually like? Do you need to know how to meditate before going? Is it useful if you’re already a therapist, coach, healer, or experienced practitioner? Is there a “cult-like” feeling? And, perhaps most importantly, would I go again? In this episode, I share my honest experience — from arriving in Basel without luggage and spending two and a half intensive days among 8,300 people from 52 countries, to the meditations, breathwork, practical logistics, unexpected insights, and lessons I brought home with me. I also cover what to pack, where to stay, what the food and seating are like, how demanding the schedule is, what surprised me most, and a few things I wish I had known before going. No hype and no promises of overnight transformation — just my personal experience as a holistic practitioner who arrived curious, somewhat skeptical, and determined to keep both an open mind and a functioning critical brain. If you’re considering attending a Dr. Joe Dispenza retreat — or are simply curious about what actually happens at one — this episode is for you.
