SUMMARY:New Year Silent Meditation Retreat - Module 1
DESCRIPTION:6-Day New Year Silent Meditation Retreat – Module 1 – onsite at Amrita Integral Yoga Resort\n\n\n\nStart the New Year in deep silence and discover your true essence\n\n\n\n\n\nModule 1: December 28\, 2025 – January 2\, 2026For Module 2: January 2 – 6\, 2026\, please visit the event page here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis New Year’s Silent Retreat offers a beautiful opportunity to step into the new year consciously — with an open\, awakened heart\, held in the embrace of silence. \n\n\n\nThe first module (December 28 – January 2) focuses on understanding the mechanisms of meditation and awakening the heart — tapping into its depths to reach the soul. \n\n\n\nThrough profound lectures inspired by the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra\, Tantraloka\, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras\, we’ll explore the art of meditation — answering not only practical questions like how to meditate\, how to concentrate\, relax deeply\, and establish a daily habit of meditation and yoga practice that supports inner stillness\, but also delving into the metaphysical nature of consciousness itself. \n\n\n\nAlongside the teachings\, daily Hatha Yoga and meditation practices will help awaken the heart\, strengthen focus\, and prepare for the deeper meditation sessions of the second module (January 2 – 6). \n\n\n\nAlthough the retreat is held in silence\, it’s not about isolation. We’ll still connect through subtle interactive exercises\, shared presence\, and moments of gentle human warmth — even a few hugs. Each day also includes a written Q&A\, allowing participants to express and have their questions answered mindfully. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaily Schedule\n\n\n\nEach day includes several meditations (of various lengths) for unveiling the Self\, extended yoga practice and inspiring lectures. The day usually starts at 8.00 and concludes at 22.00. Besides meal breaks\, you will also enjoy time for personal contemplation or relaxation. \n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 AM Hatha Yoga and Meditation9:30 – 10:40 AM Breakfast Break10:40 AM – 1:00 PM Midday Program1:00 – 4:00 PM Lunch Break4:00 – 6:30 PM Afternoon Program6:30 – 8:00 PM Dinner Break8:00 – 10:00 PM Evening Program \n\n\n\nPlease note that the schedule might change according to group size or other factors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical details \n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModule 1: December 28\, 2025 – January 2\, 2026For information about Module 2\, please visit the event page here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nAmrita Integral Yoga Centre\, a beautiful retreat centre built in accordance with the principles of sacred architecture\, and located in Mae On\, 40 minutes drive from Chiang Mai.
