Experience a transformative 4-day retreat in Gianyar, Bali, focusing on silent meditation and Yin Yoga for deep relaxation and inner peace.

Meditation Retreat Bali

Come join us for four days of silent meditation and yin yoga in the jungles of Bali. It’s going to be a profound period for both individual and group practice. During this time, we’ll be dedicating ourselves to silent meditation, yin yoga, and mindful walks in the serene hills. It’s a rare opportunity to truly connect with your heart and mind without any distractions. You’ll discover the answers you’ve been seeking within yourself, and experience the depth of who you are. This retreat allows you to take inward steps towards reconnecting with the source of healing and nourishment within you. It’s a gift of silence and stillness that you won’t want to miss.

Program

Zazen is a unique form of meditation in Zen. It has been passed down for thousands of years by the Buddha and is meant to liberate humans from suffering. But it is not your ordinary meditation practice. It doesn’t have a specific goal or purpose, and it doesn’t take you from one place to another. Instead, it helps you realize that there is no coming and going, no one doing anything.

In Zen practice, there is a paradox. Just sitting is what it’s all about. Just being fully aware of your body, mind, and breath in each moment. It’s about facing resistance and discomfort as they arise and then returning to just sitting. It’s about paying attention to each moment and finding stillness and silence within.

When you fully embrace just sitting, time and space collapse, and all mental categories disappear. You are present in the moment, and everything else fades away. In this simplicity, you can truly be yourself and experience the world without any projections or distractions.

In Zen, we lose interest in lofty goals like enlightenment or self-realization. Instead, we focus on immediacy and intimacy with ourselves, others, and the world. Silence is a crucial aspect of this practice. Through meditation, you discover that silence is the answer you’ve been searching for all along. It is the ultimate teaching and religion.

During the retreat, you will be in silence for the entire duration, except for a few group activities. The schedule includes daily sessions of seated and walking meditation, as well as nature walks, Yin yoga, and talks by Hamid. The program accommodates participants of all meditation levels, and you are required to participate in at least three of the four meditation blocks each day.

At the end of the retreat, there will be a group meeting where you can share your thoughts and feelings from the silent practice. This will help you integrate your experience into your daily life. The teachings offered during the retreat will provide a framework to better understand your experience and support your growth.
