The Inirly Approach to Mind
Meditation is a simple process when it is understood as physical rather than mental.
The Inirly approach to meditation has been crafted through the study, experimentation, and rejection of various modalities, theories, and traditions of practice.
Eben has a background in biology, anthropology, and psychology. After his time in academia, he studied Buddhist and Yogic theories of mind and well-being. Months of isolated experimentation with fasting, silence, breathwork, stillness, and prayer in India resulted in novel understandings.
“Meditation is best understood and experienced as a physical practice, where we become exceptionally sensitive to common, but overlooked, signals and fluctuations of the nervous system.
With this harnessed sensitivity, we naturally find a “Goldie Lockes” zone, where we are both stimulated and tranquilized. These are, again, subtle landscapes of our everyday physical experience, that in relative silence and exquisite focus emerge as obvious, pleasurable, and significant.”
- Eben Oroz
During the Inirly Retreat, there will be ample discourses on human biology and psychology, eastern philosophy, and a regime of techniques including;
posture workshops
stillness studies
breathing workshops
focus drills
internalization-externalization drills
high-intensity breath training
sesnsory sensitivity development
and reframing “epiphany building” techniques

Friendly reminder, as well as a “re-wilding” nature and backpacking retreat, Inirly is committed to the development of meditation, mental clarity,
and alternative mindsets. So, we will give all the extra energy we have in us to the study and practice of meditation.
Exploring Manhood
As men, we are trained to not communicate or even confess our “weakness” but that is the beginning of strength.
The sharing of doubt, fear, and pain, the shedding of tears, and the expression of anger all lead to a release. That release allows new strength, confidence, and a resurrected willingness to bear responsibility for oneself to come through.
The first step in this process of becoming more is to admit that somewhere along the way something was lost or blocked. Admit there is a dimension of blindness and then accept there is something more to behold.
Truly, only those who see illness as illness can avoid illness.
- Lao Tzu
