- Being the Peace of your Heart -

​

The 3-Day Hridaya Meditation Retreat is an invitation to discover the joy of being,

remove yourself from everyday distractions, peel away layers of the ego, and find the eternal peace within.

​​​

​​

What can you expect?

​

Have you ever thought about what is the true essence of who you are? What makes “you” yourself? Are your thoughts, your personality, your body, your beliefs the core of your being? The simple act of asking “Who am I?” can take you on a profound journey of wonderment and self-discovery. In this retreat, you’ll learn techniques for calming your mind and opening your heart so that you’ll be able to ask this question in full presence and really listen to the answers that arise.

​

We will share wisdom and inspiration from a variety of spiritual traditions: traditional non- dual Tantra, yogic philosophy, ancient Sufism… and we will guide you in a step-by-step meditation practice. The main practice of meditation will be supported by traditional Hatha Yoga practice, lectures that will help to deepen the understanding of the meditation, and a peaceful calming environment in an old monastery and nature.

​

But a silent meditation retreat isn’t about a technique or bit of knowledge. It isn’t about finding something that’s missing. It’s a process of opening to the part of you that is beyond all limitations. When you connect with that inner realm, it will infuse your entire life with its Love. This retreat is about to come back Home, to come back to the sweet Presence that will allow you to remain in equanimity, peace and love in front of any situation that may arise in your life, in the retreat and in the “normal” day-by-day life.

​

Whether you have never meditated or have done many retreats, we invite you to join us on this journey. Three days is an ideal amount of time to get a taste of the power of Self-Inquiry.

What you will learn?

 

• Techniques for calming your mind, relaxing your body, and opening your heart

• Ramana Maharshi’s Self-Inquiry method (asking “Who am I?”)

• Practices for centering in the Spiritual Heart and ways to infuse your daily life with its wisdom

• The fundamental principles of non-duality (the teaching that everything is One)

• Traditional, contemplative Hatha Yoga

What does silence (mauna) mean?
​
The period of silence (mauna) starts after the evening session of the first day and ends after the afternoon session of the last day. There are 3 days of silence. That means refraining from any external communication, including talking, eye contact, physical contact, e-mails, phone calls, etc. Your phone will be handed in on the first evening.

Integration Day
​
A Hridaya Meditation is not a “bubble” from the daily life. It is the opposite, it's a special period in which you can touch a stable and deep background to embrace anything that may arise in your life.
The Integration Day, which is optional, brings you the possibility to experience it before coming back to your daily routine. After finishing the mauna in the last day of retreat, the invitation is to stay 24 hours more in the center, incorporating communication, speech and contemplation while keeping centered in the Heart. There will be space for practice and meditation, micro-practices for incorporation in the daily activities, space for yourself and Yoga of Sound practice. You will have practical tips on how to deepen the spiritual practice into daily life.
