Prerequisite: The Happiness Program
Why take 3-4 days out of your busy life for a meditation retreat?
These few days make the rest of your year more alive, productive and full of energy. When you emerge, you feel recharged and refreshed, ready to take on all your responsibilities with greater focus and joy.
"Grateful to all the people and things which enable me to take time out like this to care for myself so that I can be the best, most stress-free and happy version of myself possible … and in that be a better mamma. Truly blessed and most humbled. "
-Meggan, megganmamma.com
Create Big Shifts in Your Life
The Silence Retreat can help you drop limiting beliefs, regrets and worries, and tap into a bigger vision for yourself. You come back to your life more grounded, more centered, more wise. You find a joy that is unshaken by outer circumstances. And the more often you do this retreat, the more this strength and freedom builds inside of you.
A Structured Retreat
While other retreats could leave you a little to your own devices to find some silence amidst a quiet atmosphere, many people find it challenging to know how to quiet their own minds. The Art of Silence Retreat provides optimal conditions for sinking deep within and breaking free from our mental chatter. Your whole day is carefully guided and crafted to give you as relaxing and transformative an experience possible. It’s no wonder that many course participants refer to it as the ideal vacation for body, mind, and spirit.
Main Elements of the Retreat
"Meditation is the journey from movement to
stillness, sound to silence. "
- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
More Elements
- Yoga-Unite the body and mind with a morning yoga session to start each day.
- Vedic Wisdom- Explore the “Four Pillars of Knowledge” from the ancient Vedic texts of India, which gives us the tools to live with bliss in our lives.
- Question and Answer-Get clarity on meditation and peaceful living in nightly Q&A sessions with your teacher.
- Wholesome Food-There’s nothing like eating well to soothe your spirit. Relish three delicious vegetarian meals a day.
