One-Day Silent Retreat

Come and reconnect with your centre in this one-day esoteric meditation workshop! On this day, we will get to know the meditative state through MAUNA – silence of speech and thoughts – and through longer meditations together.

There will also be time to practise yoga techniques to prepare the body and mind for meditation, and an introduction to a wonderful and effective concentration exercise.

In the middle of the day, we will offer a simple and nourishing meal. Throughout the day, activities will take place in silence, guided by your teacher.

You are warmly invited to step away from daily activities and spend a day reconnecting with yourself, learning about and experiencing introductory aspects of the meditative state, and discovering how to systematically go beyond the mind and into a state of euphoric silence and presence.

We look forward to spending this meaningful time together in silence. Please bring a pen and a notebook dedicated to meditation practice, and come in clothes that allow you to relax.
