6-Day Silent Retreat with Yoga
Bringing Meditation to Life in a heart-centred way
In this 6-day silent retreat we seek to discover the capacity to remain fully engaged in life while stayed firmly centred in inner silence.
The retreat will include a combination of activities, from Hatha Yoga and meditation to workshop-like interactive exercises. In our lectures we’ll touch on the Tantric view on meditation, and we’ll learn how to bring meditation to life, meditating on the essence of emotions, desires and inner experiences. We’ll have days in which we’ll speak and days spent in silence.
Our approach will combine the traditional methods of concentration (the 8 fold stages of Patanjali – focusing mainly on ) with methods taken from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra.
Is this the same as Vipassana?
There are similarities but also differences. It’s similar from the perspective of the fact that we go in silence in the first evening and come out of silence on the morning of the last day, and we respect silence, devoting a lot of time for meditation. It’s different because we do yoga, keeping the body fresh, awake, and with a lot of energy. Even if we’ll be in silence, we aim to be deliberately heart connected to the others, and not isolated, creating a warm and sweet spiritual group. Also unlike Vipassana, we are allowed to silently embrace and keep the sweetness in the heart as a support of our meditative practice.
