As the earth retreats towards winter, it is the perfect time for us to retreat also - to take this time as sacred time to honor ourselves.
Away from the busy-ness and noise of daily life, we have the rare and profound opportunity to listen within. In an extended period of silence, we can make space to hear the parts of our selves that may not usually have a voice, we can find compassion and acceptacnce for aspects of our personalities that we may not usually welcome, and we can celebrate the strengths that we may not usually notice.
More importanlty, we can dive into our essence - beyond the ups and downs of our emotions and thoughts and the many nuances opf our personalities, we can access our inner sanctuary of peace, beyond procratination, confusion and regret, we can access our inner wisdom and clarity.
| "When you stop making outside noise, you hear God's vice within" - Swami Satchidananda |
 "(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 |
