Experience a day of retreat, meditation and silent reflection in a peaceful environment.

A silent retreat is an unequaled opportunity to become aware of the peaceful nature of our mind. Through utilizing silence, clear and accessible instructions on how to meditate, and the support of meditating in a group in a meditation center, your practice will greatly deepen.

This day-long retreat will consist of three sessions, each including practical instructions and guided meditation. During the meditation breaks, we will enjoy the power of silence and quiet reflection. This will allow our mind to go deeper into an experience of meaning and peace.

The teacher will allocate time for questions and answers to help attendees crystalize methods to bring the retreat into our daily life.

Everyone is welcome. No meditation experience is necessary.

About Silence 

Silence is not just about not talking, it is about developing an inner quality of stillness.

In silence, we engage with the meditation object in a more intimate way. We stop ‘chatting’ about the Dharma (Buddha’s teachings) from our mouth and start listening to the Dharma from deep within our heart which gives us a special inner experience of the teachings we receive. Penetrating insights arise and since we are able to hold onto them with firm mindfulness we find Dharma experience pervades and nourishes our heart at a very deep level.
