SILENT RETREAT - A Journey Within
Event description
Are you longing to rediscover the peace of mind that you intuitively know is at your core? Do you find yourself being called back to the silence behind it all? Have you noticed that the day-to-day appears to demand more of your attention and have the desire to claim it back?
Join us on a weekend of supported silence and allow yourself to reconnect with the ever-present and unchanging aspect of yourself that is aware of it all. Knowing that you have all your needs taken care of, you can use this precious time to focus on your internal experience and gain first-hand insight into an awareness that can neither be given nor taken away.
A combination of private meditation and reflection, coupled with gently guided meditations offered by Justin Martin and Siobhan Calleja, will assist you in making the most of this rare time you have set aside just for you.
All meals, accommodation and linen are included in this package. The only thing you need to bring is an intention to free yourself from the usual aversions and attachments of your daily life.
The possibility of inner peace is real, and can be obtained right now, no matter who you are or what your life story is. Realise this for yourself, if only for a moment and experience the freedom it can offer.
Beginning at 5 pm on Friday the 17th of May 2023, at Riverdell Spiritual Centre.
