Meditation, Yoga & Silence Intensive

This special 4-day Labor Day retreat offers a meaningful chance to take the next step on your spiritual path.

Designed for returning participants, the program goes beyond introductory work and opens the door to a deeper exploration of meditation, awareness, and purposeful living.

With the basics already in place, the focus will be on:

• Deepening your meditation practice
• Refining inner awareness and concentration
• Expanding your understanding of the teachings
• Strengthening your ability to bring practice into everyday life

A highlight of the retreat is a full day of silence on Sunday, creating a rare and powerful space to step away from outside distractions and connect more deeply with yourself.

The blend of guided sessions, personal practice, and reflective time supports authentic inner growth.

This retreat is well suited to those who feel ready to move from learning techniques to living the path more fully.
