Fall Silent Retreat 2024
Oct. 8 - Oct 14
Welcome!! This is a silent retreat with Jennifer Tyler, a teacher in the lineage of Adyashanti. We are devoted to contemplating the Source of Reality and sacred community. Program includes teaching talks, guided meditation, small groups and satsang where we share music, poetry, reports and question & answer. Retreat participants agree to maintain silence other than sharing at Satsang. Meals, yoga, evening activities such as dancing, fire circle, sound bath and on-your-own time are carried out in silence.
