An essential teaching in so many of our world's faiths is that peace and healing begin at home - that as we focus on finding peace within and on healing ourselves, we are offering peace to all those around us and supporting healing in our family, our community, our country and our planet. We contribute simply by being who we are. And, as we connect with our inner wisdom, we access both effective and creative solutions to the challenges around us and the courage to take action.
Now more than ever, we are called to heal ourselves and to support the healing of our world. Join us for our annual Integral Yoga Ten-Day Silent Retreat and explore how you can heal and balance the body, emotions and mind and dive deep within to find your unique, ever-present experience of inner peace and your unique ways of contributing to the world.
In our annual Ten-Day Silent Retreat, you will experience the many aspects of Yoga designed for healing body, mind and spirit, which have been so carefully woven together by Sri Swami Satchidananda when he designed the first Silent Retreat four decades ago. Be nourished and supported by Hatha Yoga, pranayama (breathing practices), guided deep relaxation and meditations each day, delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals and the natural beauty and deep sacred spaces of Yogaville, all enhanced by the practice of deliberate silence.
Observing an extended period of silence offers a profound opportunity for the mind to unwind - attention that is usually externalized through conversation can be drawn inward as we recognize and release emotional and mental patterns, diving into a deeper experience of our inner strength and our true peace-filled nature.
A keystone of the program will be the inspirational talks given each day. This year we are honored and delighted to be able, once again, to host renowned presenters from a number of the world’s spiritual traditions, who, along with some of Integral Yoga’s most inspired teachers, will guide you on your inner journey. Insights, chants and meditation techniques from Islamic, Jewish, Christian and Buddhist traditions will be shared along with the profoundly practical teachings of Integral Yoga®.
Lakshmi Barsel speaks about the 10 Day Silent Retreat 2008
The retreat is suited to students of all levels of experience. Those new to Yoga and the practice of silence will receive full instruction and support. Experienced retreatants will have the opportunity to move even more deeply within. You will also have the opportunity to seek additional guidance, support or clarification by asking questions in writing or asking for private mentoring.

 "An excellent experience. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. Everything turned out to be so amazing. Really great staff and speakers, and the interfaith portion was impeccable - truly delightful" - Retreatant 2008 |
| "(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 |
