These retreats are for anyone wanting the opportunity to spend time in silence away from daily responsibilities for deepening and renewal.
“Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.” Meister Eckart

The structure of this retreat contains periods of sitting and walking meditation, as well as free time, teaching and question periods. Teaching topics include:

• True Meditation: Your Natural State
• Body and Soul: A Sacred contract
• Energy Medicine: Reconnecting to Your Original Blueprint
• Radical Responsibility: Personal Power Redefined
• Not Knowing: The Doorway to Now
• The Gift of Emotion: Listening to the Voice of Our Bodies

We are fortunate to have Chef Sherri Doak preparing joyful whole foods vegetarian cuisine for us at these retreats.  We have created a menu that will support the purification of your whole being. It will include raw fruit and vegetables, salads, gluten free grains, steamed and stewed vegetables, soups and legumes.

Please note that in order to create a container for deepening, all activities (except the question periods) will be done in complete silence. You will be asked to turn off all cellular devices. In case of emergencies families will be able to reach you through the Centre's phone. Please do not sign up for these retreats if you cannot stay for the full period.

"Do not underestimate the power of the container of silence we create together. In the willingness and commitment to this silence, the Truth of our Being can realize itself in a way that is not often possible in our busy lives." Adyashanti

I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to spend this time with you.
