Silence, Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Tarifa.

5 Days/6 Nights of Inner & Outer Silence, Yoga and Meditation Retreat
in Bolonia. tarifa (South of spain).

05.09.18 - 09.09.18

"Silence offers all the answers to the most important questions".

We spend too much time looking outside ourselves. The outside world it is only a reflection of our inner world. And just by turning our attention inwards, we gain the capacity to change what occurs in the outside world.

At the beginning, this inner turning is only possible through the practice and cultivation of meditation. And moreover through mindfulness meditation: the ecuanimus and constant observation of the present moment, just exactly as it is.

In this Silent retreat we have created the perfect atmosphere for you to relax, to disconnect from the outside world and to re-connect with your inner world, that one where all answers are to be unfolded.

During this 5 day/6 night retreat, you will experience inner and outer silence, practice daily meditation, yang yoga (active) and yin yoga (deep meditative still practice); and daily Sat Sangs (questions and answers group circles where to go deeper into specific subjects that effect our lives).

You will have fixed times for yoga, silence and contemplation and plenty of free time to stay at the retreat area or go out into the beautiful nature, go to the beach, horse ride and even kite or windsurf if that is what your soul craves in order to become more quiet.

We do love silence (specially in these beautiful surroundings), but we do not want to force anyone to do anything. Just within the silent areas you are asked to respect noble silence and refrain from any type of communication with each other. Outside this circuit, as a responsible human you can do what ever you want. And we believe you will do what will benefit the most your highest You in the long run!
