Your Journey

The silent period of the upcoming retreat will span five days, starting on Friday morning and ending on Tuesday night. The retreat will incorporate silent meditation sessions, Hridaya Hatha yoga practice, teachings on meditation techniques, and discussions on inspiring spiritual topics to aid and provide insights into the meditation practice. This retreat is intended to offer an immersion into the silence of the heart, allowing participants to gradually explore the foundations of meditation practice and discover the joy of stillness and intimacy of the heart.

Through introspection and silence, participants can create favorable conditions to open themselves to the spiritual heart and recognize their true depth. This retreat is suitable for both beginner and advanced meditators, as no prior meditation or yoga experience is required. The proceeds from this retreat will go towards the creation of “Cave of the Heart,” a small silent retreat center in southern Portugal.

The retreat’s unique teachings will mainly focus on self-inquiry, as presented by Sri Ramana Maharshi, which involves exploring the fundamental question of “Who am I?” to discover one’s true self beyond preconceived ideas and identifications. In addition, the retreat will draw from different spiritual traditions, including Advaita Vedanta, yoga, Sufism, Tantra, Kashmir Shaivism, and Buddhism, all of which point towards the essence of one’s being.

The retreat will feature guided meditations, lectures, and practical methods, such as using the self-inquiry method of Ramana Maharshi, techniques for stilling the mind through breath awareness, and methods of self-centering in everyday life. Participants will also learn how to maintain awareness of the spiritual heart and explore daily themed meditations related to self-awareness, as well as enjoy Hridaya Hatha yoga sessions, poetry, and other activities. Overall, this retreat promises benefits such as stillness, sacredness, self-discovery, and loving awareness.
