Main Elements of the Retreat

"Meditation is the journey from movement to
stillness, sound to silence."

-Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Deep Meditations

A set of guided meditations called “Hollow and Empty” created by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar are a central part of the retreat. These meditations are geared towards drawing out the deepest layers of stress and tension from our nervous system.

Silence

Silence is more than not speaking, it is a way to renew ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually. Even just a few minutes of true silence gives a rest far deeper than sleep, and possibly anything else you’ve experienced in life.

Wisdom

Explore the “Four Pillars of Knowledge” from the ancient Vedic texts of India, which gives us the tools to live with bliss in our lives.
Get clarity on meditation and peaceful living in nightly Q&A sessions with your teacher.

Music

Often, silence is associated with sadness. But in the retreat, silence is a celebration. After a full day of yoga, meditation and processes, the evenings are spent celebrating the inner spirit through soulful music and sacred chants.

Mudras and Advanced Pranayama

The course builds upon the breathing exercises taught during the Art of Breathing (Happiness) program and teaches a series of Mudras – a subtle technique to balance the mind and emotions.
