| "When you stop making outside noise, you hear God's voice within." - Swami Satchidananda |
As you start this New Year and new decade, give yourself the gift of mauna, the yogic practice of deliberate silence. For many of us, our days are filled with talking-we talk with family, we talk with friends, we talk with colleagues…and most of all we talk to ourselves with a seemingly endless stream of mental chatter. When we commit to a deliberate period of silence and free our minds from the necessity to speak, we can connect with our inner inspiration and experience transformation on all levels of our being:
Our senses have the opportunity to come more alive and we can access our body wisdom more clearly
The day-to-day chatter of the mind reduces and we can hear our own "stories" (the mental and emotional patterns, opinions and interpretations we hold) more clearly. We can rewrite them to serve us with integrity and support our deepening experience of clarity and
We can acknowledge our deeper needs and explore and embrace ways to meet them
We can have more attention available to experience deeper connections with ourselves and the world around us
Acceptance and compassion awaken within us - for ourselves and others
We learn to listen for and hear the true inner voice that guides us with wisdom and love
During your stay, your journey within will be supported on all levels through the opportunity to experience a full spectrum of Yoga practices - Hatha Yoga, yogic breathing [pranayama], deep relaxation, meditation, yogic diet (delicious, nutritious vegetarian meals) - all in our beautiful, natural environment and enhanced in the bliss of silence.
Each day inspiring talks are offered by our swamis (monastics), ministers and senior teachers all designed to deepen your understanding of Yoga and yourself. You will also have the opportunity to seek additional guidance or clarification by asking questions in writing or asking for private mentoring.
Beginners who are new to Yoga and the practice of silence will receive full instruction and support, and experienced retreatants will have the opportunity to move even more deeply within.

"(The retreat) restored my energy, helped me to have a more positive outlook, gave me courage to keep going in times of great stress. [It] gave me great resolve. (It also) got me back into my yogic practices with zeal!." - Retreatant |
"This retreat is not just an experience. You will gain perspective, ideas, and much more to support you long after the retreat has ended. You can be the calm in the midst of the storm!." - Retreatant |
"It is like diving under water for a long time and coming up for a breath of fresh air." - Retreatant |
"It is lovely up here. Peaceful, joyful, kind, patient & clear of the everyday distractions." - Dorothy Hahne |
