Healing Effects of Silence

Silence is therapeutic on all levels

and at the same time it is a doorway to inner peace.

Silence is the medicine that balances a stressful life.

It becomes the inner resource of gentleness, love and grace

that creates a bridge from the heart into the world.

Come take a nurturing Silent Retreat with us:

Silence washes our awareness. Our retreat invites us to receive peace and quiet, giving us the opportunity to receive the beauty in nature, meditation, the present moment, the simplicity of just being. In a silent retreat we can touch the sacred inside of us.

When we are not busy talking, our mind takes a rest. Our heart becomes more available. The silence outside helps us to find the still place inside. This is our silent retreat, the vast quietude of the heart. A few days of simple peace and we feel new again, heart centered, grounded, more whole. The silence is the doorway into our own spirituality, truth and wisdom.
