Meditation Retreat

"Love in it's simplicity shows us that our busyness is getting us nowhere.

This is because there is nowhere to be but with the Love.

Then Love can give us everything we need, simply, directly from the still place of silence."

Bruce Davis - Monastery Without Walls

ABOUT THE PRACTICE

This retreat will start with a day and a half of instruction, Q&A and practice meditations sessions. Due to the small class size you will receive personalized instruction to support your success in this practice. All participants will be taught the "Primary Meditation Technique" which is a breath focused meditation. Through this practice you will become aware of your self. The focus will start with the physical body and continue deeper through all the subtle bodies as you eliminates anything in the way of pure presence by remembering, experiencing and referencing the still place of silence.

You will be fully prepared to embark upon your seven day journey in the cave of the heart at the center of your being. This retreat is designed after the practices of Yogis and Mystics who have throughout the ages sat in caves, alone in silence, until awakening to the self and totality. You will be fully supported in your practice by Master Practitioners throughout the retreat. The schedule is rigorous. The benefits are abundant.

This retreat is designed to assist you with personalized instruction and a time for questions and answers at the beginning and at the end. Integration is the key to maintaining all that you receive from your work. The last day will be devoted to properly beginning the integration process. Support from our staff is available, before, during and after the retreat.
