There are many things to do while you are in silence. You are welcome to listen to or participate in our mantra chanting, which is held twice daily. Because they are divine sounds, it’s not considered that you’re breaking silence if you want to join. Or, you can even sign up for a workshop and take classes while in silence. If you want to disconnect completely, you’re very welcome to spend your time writing, walking, being creative, practicing awareness, enjoying the moment and just “being.”

Absolutely! You can be in silence while you take any of our programs. You can even juice or water fast while in silence. Because our silent program is not rigid, you can speak/ask questions during class and then return to your silence once your class is over.

You can practice silence for as long as you would like. There is no minimum or maximum. We always suggest to follow your heart, and how your body and mind feel. You can schedule your retreat for one day or as many days as you would like to.

The silent retreat is not rigid and is flexible and unstructured. This means you are not forced to be in silence when you do not feel like it. Practicing silence ultimately means to be silent from your emotions and thoughts, because these are things that bother you during the day. By not speaking you also save tremendous energy, create an inner space for deep thought and much more. Therefore, if you feel like writing or reading, you can. However, we highly suggest not texting or using your cellphone during this precious time.

You can write on a piece of paper any comments or questions that you have.

It’s normal to make accidental sounds and even say a word. The practice is to help you become more aware. If you make a mistake, become aware right away and let it go. There’s no need to judge or criticize yourself. Get back into your silence.

Part of this retreat includes 12 mantras, which help you grow spiritually, activate your chakras, increase peace and calmness, and help reduce the negative affects of the mind..

Yes, you can water or juice fast during your silent retreat if you select Half-Private or Full-Private accommodations. When you register just select the fast as an add-on.

Due to the nature of our programs, we prefer that your children do not come with you. We do not offer day-care or baby-sitting services. However, we encourage you to come during our Spiritual Children’s Camp. We offer this camp several times a year. Therefore, while your children are learning you can then participate in the workshops you’d like. To find out more about our spiritual kid’s camp click here for more information.

It’s completely normal to be nervous, because you might be unfamiliar with spirituality, going to an ashram or retreat center, or learning directly from monks and nuns. Many of our guests have said they wanted to come to the retreat because “it felt right” for so long but were just nervous and even afraid to come. Then while here, they wished they would’ve not waited so long and came sooner. Check out our reviews page to hear from them directly in their words.
