"The best shelter is in the silence of your soul." Paramhansa Yogananda

In a world filled with noise, uncertainty, and constant demands, true renewal is found in the sanctuary of silence. This retreat is an opportunity to step away from the chaos, trials, and tribulations of daily life and immerse yourself in the deep, restorative stillness of the soul.

Join Acharya Sundari Jensen for a profound journey inward, where the noise of the world fades, and the heart awakens to the infinite wellspring of peace and strength within. Through silent meditation, contemplation, and sacred presence, you will find solace that nourishes the spirit and the clarity that empowers you to move through life with renewed purpose.

Retreat includes:

  • Silent meditations throughout the day
  • Silent walking meditation and contemplation in the meditation garden
  • Nourishing meals to support your experience

Let this retreat be a sacred pause—a time to replenish your soul, reclaim inner peace, and return to the world with a heart centered in wisdom and compassion.
