What people say about the silence retreat

Holding the space for the silence retreat is always an honor and a pleasure.
As a teacher is a mystery where we all go while in silence, it is here and is not, it is beyond, jet concrete, it is mothering, also merciless in what is not true.

I love this poem of Sri Chimoy that describe that inner journey into oneself.









A day of Silence
Can be a pilgrimage in itself.

A day of Silence
Can help you listen
To the Soul play
Its marvellous lute and drum.

Is not most talking
A crazed defence of a crumbling fort?

I thought we came here
To surrender in Silence,

To yield to Light and Happiness,

To Dance within
In celebration of Love’s Victory!

 As what our participants said about this experience:

"The ideal environment to reveal the unknown aspects of oneself"
Remi

" The silence retreat was an opportunity for deep, deep relaxation. We were like a family, staying in the warm cozy, embracing home of Bhuvaneswari and Matthew. Space was given to do nothing, This challenged my compulsion to keep busy, instead I found myself in the most lavish bubble bath..."
Rosa

"The retreat was gentle and relaxing, but also energetically intense and regenerating. I feel like i have a much better grasp of the benefits of staying present and have renewed confidence in my strength and ability to flow with what comes. Thank you ."
Grace
"The silence retreat was a blessing in a disguise. A lesson in being integral. In not tying to control or divide myself into more than one piece. It was relaxing and a real opportunity to drop everything and do nothing. Very healing and mindful. A gift from two loving souls, Matthew and Bhuvaneswari."
