An Invitation to Journey into the HeartWhat an incredible gift it is to come home to yourself! As we usher in the New Year with stillness, openness, and love, we invite you to a 4-day silent retreat—a journey into the heart, to witness the beauty, wisdom, and love of who we truly are.
This retreat, celebrates the joy of meditation and self-inquiry. You will experience noble silence, contemplation, and a safe, supportive environment, similar to a solitary retreat. In the silence, we are given the opportunity to connect with the deepest parts of ourselves.
"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear." – Rumi
The primary meditation practice is inspired by the Hridaya Yoga approach where we will follow three key elements:
1) Awareness of the Heart Centre
2) Awareness of the natural pauses after inhalation and exhalation
3) Self-inquiry (asking the question “Who am I?”)
