Spring whispers
Hosts/teachers: Saga & Lauri
The Deep Aliveness of Silence
In a calm silence, allow the energy of spring to ignite a sense of renewal within you. Release the old, welcome the new, and emerge from this retreat with a refreshed perspective and a heart of gratitude for the present moment.
"Silence is not an absence but a presence." – Anne D. LeClaire
This retreat welcomes you to absorb the wisdom and clarity of silence - an alive sense of openness and expansion as we let things be and connect with the flow of life. Often, in every day life, silence and being quiet might seem like a limitation or a contraction - here we will recognize the absolute opposite of that.
"Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything." – Gordon Hempton
You will spend the time from Friday evening to Sunday morning not speaking, in noble silence. We will have guided practices where the instructions are spoken, but of course long moments of total silence.
Seldom do we have the chance to experience the power of keeping silent and simply being open to curious and meaningful things that arise.
