ĒLIJAS NAMS is a retreat destination.
The association "Elijas nams" was founded with the aim of helping people who want to improve themselves spiritually, restore their spiritual strength, and solve problems caused by mental turmoil or burnout .
Inga Rubene is an educator and an authorized teacher of contemplation (Lassalle School of Contemplation via integralis, Switzerland). Her focus is on meditation and questions related to the discovery of women's identity.
Inga Rubene is one of the teachers at the Institute of Integral Education and the manager of the Elijas House. The creation of Elijas House has been a significant turning point in Inga's life. The association "Elijas House" and its meditation, seminar, and retreat spaces were envisioned by Inga’s husband, theologian Juris Rubenis, but the two of them developed it in close collaboration, with Inga becoming the heart and soul of the house.
"Every person’s life is shaped by events that come, stay with us for a while, and then move on. Sometimes they stop us, challenge us, and push us. Sometimes they inspire, encourage, and transform us. Equally important is our willingness to open up, to surrender, to dare to engage with them. This is how the unique pattern of our life is woven — like a fabric not yet fully woven, like a path still being trodden. This book reflects an important chapter of life, which, when it began, I had no idea would change me so deeply."
— Inga Rubene
Every visitor to Elijas House is warmly welcomed by Inga, embraced by her radiant smile and kind brown-eyed gaze. It is also Inga who nourishes those weary from meditation and studies with her delicious meals. After retreats at Elijas House, people return home not only with spiritual experiences and new knowledge, but also with unique vegetarian recipes.
Over the 10 years of Elijas House’s existence, more than one person has encouraged Inga: “You should write your own cookbook!”
