Fall Silent Retreat 2024
Oct. 8 - Oct 14
Welcome!! This is a silent retreat with 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.
