"The real work you have
to do is in the privacy of your
own heart. All of the external forms are lovely, but the real work is your inner connection."
–Ram Dass
No phone. No talking. No reading. Just Being.
The challenges of everyday life can feel overwhelming in the worlds continuous state of chaos and intensity. We invite you to come rest in Stillness, silence, and deep meditation through "A Weekend of Silence" retreat in the city.
​
Our intention is to create a space for everyone to delve within themselves through the profoundness of silent meditation and to ultimately reveal the Spiritual Heart.
