The Paths
of Silence
An invitation to rediscover the silence from which every authentic transformation is born.
The retreat is based on self-observation, on cultivating the path of detachment and asceticism through the creation of a space and a void, so that it may be naturally filled by the sacredness of presence. All participants are required to give up any technological devices for the entire duration. They are to commit, as if their life depended on it, to maintaining silence and refraining from communication. The day will be structured around simple activities and meditative and prayer practices. During the retreat, a diet focused on lightness will be observed to facilitate the meditative journey.
