This retreat is a gentle introduction to silence and its countless gifts. During the 3 days of silence we will observe mauna (sacred silence), though you will be able to read and write if you wish to.
I will be offering guidance and different meditation methods throughout the retreat.
This program is appropriate for all, whether you have been meditating for years or you haven't started yet, All are welcome. If you are interested but the price is an obstacle please get in touch to speak about options.
