SILENT RETREAT
SILENT RETREAT
Silent retreat is about committing to an environment, an atmosphere, where we willingly give our attention to what is already, and always, present and alive within and AS us. Call it spirit, awareness, true nature, life, presence or that which is. Whatever we call it, the timeless, silent mystery at the heart of our being is here and now.

The invitation of silent retreat is to deeply enter this truth in an open-hearted, open-minded, spirit of discovery and revelation. The retreat container gives rise to an enlivened potential for consciously recognizing, living and experiencing our unique individuality AS an expression of the Universal Source of beingness.

No matter what we think we have realized, how many retreats we have attended, how many years we have “worked on our spirituality”, no matter our conditioning, or our history, each moment provides the eternal, sacred opportunity to dive into the great Unknowingness. And freshly discover and awaken to The Wholeness from which everything blooms and grows.

Full Circle Family retreats are devoted to creating a supportive environment of enlivened potential that enables the remembering of uncaused Love as the fundamental essence of our Being.

As the eternal, silent ground of Being is revealed, an essential shift of identity unfolds.
