The Gift of True Silence
“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”
I was deaf, but Eternity whispered to me Unceasingly. My wisdom’s hearing power slowly left its slumber, and I heard the Whispers of Eternity becoming ever clearer and clearer, in response to my sacred demands.
Paramhansa Yogananda
To fully experience the power of this retreat, we ask that you disconnect completely from electronic devices. Observe silence throughout the day to truly savour the peace.
Silence is Sacred. Should you be unable to fully disconnect from your devices for this retreat, please consider registering at a later time when you have the flexibility to do so.
Silence Heals. The constant stream of sensory information overloads our nervous system. Silence, especially when combined with time in nature, provides relief, allowing our nervous system to calm down. This promotes mental clarity and allows our bodies to engage in natural healing processes.
Nourishment for Body and Soul
Please bring your own lunch and snacks. In the embrace of silence, your senses will awaken, and you’ll find profound joy in even the simplest of meals.
Additional Notes
- Please bring: Shawl/blanket, water bottle,
- Arrival: Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to settle in.
Let this be your time to find stillness, clarity, and the deep healing power within.
We look forward to sharing this journey of silence with you.
