About the retreat

The Samyama spiritual heart silent meditation retreat offers an incredible experience of silence, self-inquiry, and authentic forms of meditation. The goal is to help you discover the peace and unconditional love that is inside of you. By sitting quietly in stillness, you can reconnect with that place. This three-day silent meditation retreat is designed to mimic a solitary cave retreat, with complete silence and minimal contact with the outside world. While you will be in a group setting, you’ll have plenty of space to delve deep into your own unique experience. The beauty of silence is that the less you speak, the more your brain can slow down, making it easier to enter deep states of meditation. The schedule of the retreat is carefully crafted to guide you towards deeper meditation and intimacy with your spiritual heart. By the end, you’ll not only have had a nourishing break from your thoughts but also a practical toolbox to tap into your most natural Self, even in challenging day-to-day moments. The retreat includes guided and personal meditation practices, Hatha yoga asana and pranayama practice, inspiring lectures from various mystical and contemplative traditions, and support from the lead teacher and supporting staff. It’s highly recommended to attend the retreat in full silence to fully benefit from the sessions. Each day starts with meditation, followed by breakfast, a lecture providing context for the techniques being taught, Hatha yoga practice, more meditation, and then lunch. The afternoon follows a similar schedule, with meditation, discourse, and movement. Throughout the retreat, you can ask questions through written notes. On the last day, the silence is broken with a sharing circle, although participation is optional. Once the silence is broken, the retreat officially concludes.

Techniques

During the retreat, you will learn and practice various techniques including the self-inquiry method of Ramana Maharshi, practices from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, mindfulness practices from Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, walking meditation, contemplation of Sufi wisdom and devotional poetry, practices from Christian and Jewish mystical traditions, and teachings from Advaita Vedanta.
