Short Silence Retreat

Perquisite: Art of Living Part 1/ SKY Breath Meditation

It's time to embark on a journey from outer chaos to inner serenity with our Short Silence Retreat in the presence of Gurudev!

Complemented by rejuvenating yoga, profound wisdom sessions, pristine nature and sattvic vegetarian food, the retreat takes you through an inward journey where you learn to connect with the unbounded joy of your own company.

This silence retreat provides optimal conditions for going deep within, quieting your mental chatter, and experiencing profound rest and inner silence.
