THIRTY DAY SILENT MEDITATION RETREAT
30th May– 31st June every year
ABOUT THE RETREAT
Please arrive at The Hermitage on the 30th of May for an introduction meeting.
We ask that participants make a commitment to join the entire retreat and keep a vow of silence for the whole thirty days. The retreat will involve a beautiful schedule of meditation, hatha yoga, and daily teachings on Advaita Vedanta (Non Duality), Self Enquiry Method, Meditation Practices from Sufism, Buddhism and Christianity, and Sacred Poetry.
The morning session (before lunch) will be guided and include a one hour lecture, guided hatha yoga and meditation, while the afternoon session will be for group self practice and individual contemplation. The emphasis of the teachings will be on meditation and is designed to become gradually more advanced in depth, and also more spacious as the retreat goes on. There will be plenty of time also for silent contemplation in the beautiful Hermitage gardens or beside the lake on our private beach or dock.
IMPORTANT: Please arrive at the lake at the 30th of May so that you can join the introduction meeting and personal interviews with the teachers at 10 AM on the 30th of May.
