Start your journey into silence with a strong foundation of breath.
Silence is an age-honoured practice to still the mind, to give much-needed rest to our over-worked nervous and immune systems, and to discover the true joy of our being. Instead of being left on our own to the mercy of our chattering minds and perpetual to-do lists, the Stepping Into Silence Retreat is a fully guided experience, structured to help you step-by-step on your journey. Led by experienced instructors, the Stepping Into Silence Retreat introduces us to the silent corners of our heart, cleanses our perception of the world and ourselves.
A Complete Package
We begin this signature retreat with building a strong foundation of breath. Breathing clears the cobwebs in the system and brings us to the doorstep of meditation and silence. We learn powerful pranayams and the world-renowned, research-based breathing practice of Sudarshan Kriya. We then step into special meditations designed for deep silence. Complemented by rejuvenating yoga, profound yogic wisdom about the mind, body and emotions, vegetarian meals , this is a complete vacation package for the mind, body and spirit that you have been looking for.
Suitable for all levels of experience, this signature retreat of our Centre is a must for everyone looking to get a clean disconnect from our daily routines, and a reset and renewal.
