New Year Silent Meditation Retreat
29 December, 2024 – 7 January, 2025
5-Day New Year Silent Meditation Retreat at Amrita Integral Yoga Resort
Module 1: December 29, 2024 – January 3, 2025
Module 2: January 2 – 7, 2025
Start the New Year in deep silence and discover your true essence
Join us for a relaxing, initiating and awakening 5-day meditation retreat as we enter the mystery of our soul. In the depth of silence and in the intensity of love, the heart awakens and takes us toward our real home, with every heart beat, with every moment of meditation, with every breath of fresh air.
In this New Year Silent Meditation Retreat, we will offer a special meditation method for the revelation of the Highest Self, Atman. This simple and highly efficient technique takes you step by step, starting from the level where you are, gradually uplifting you to Self-realisation.
The Supreme, Immortal Self, also known as Atman in the oriental tradition, is Pure Consciousness, Pure Self, the unchanging, eternal Truth that is beyond the entire manifest world. The ancient text of Katha Upanishad states:
Atman, smaller than the small, greater than the great, is hidden in the hearts of all living creatures. It is not born; It does not die. It has not sprung from anything; nothing has sprung from It. Birthless, eternal, everlasting, and ancient, It is not killed when the body is killed.
Join us in this silent journey to discover the genuine treasures of your own inner universe, to explore the mystery of who you are truly, and awaken to your Supreme Immortal Self Atman.
Program
Each day includes several meditations (of various lengths) for unveiling the Self, extended yoga practice and inspiring lectures. The day usually starts at 9.00 and concludes at 22.00. Besides meal breaks, you will also enjoy time for personal contemplation or relaxation.
Please note that Module 2 is only available for those who have attended the Silent Retreat with us before, and for those who complete Module 1. Module 2 is a more advanced retreat, with less lectures and more time devoted to practice, including sessions of extended meditation.
