Program

What you can expect

During these five days, you will be guided into the practice of meditation. The silence and the natural monastic environment create a spacious field in which you can contemplate, relax and return to your true self. The constant influx of impulses and information will be put on hold and the attention will be directed inward. You will be given the chance to let go of daily activities as well as internal obstacles. The meditation practice and the nurturing outer conditions create a healing process. The innate love, joy, and freedom of your being can be rediscovered and reactivated.

What you will learn

  • The basics and essence of meditation according to the ancient paths of Yoga and non-dual Tantra
  • How to anchor the state of awakening and walk the spiritual path
  • Overcoming obstacles for meditation
  • Connecting to 'Akasha' - empty space
  • Connecting sound and silence
  • Energy flow through sound and movement
  • Reconnecting to yourself
  • Integrating the practice into daily life

What does silence mean?

The period of silence (mauna) starts after the evening session of the first day and ends after the morning session of the last day. There are 3 full days of silence. That means refraining from any external communication, including talking, emails, phone calls, etc. Your phone will be handed in on the first evening. The attention can be fully ‘here’ and inside. Silence is a requisite for meditation practice and the deep healing that may take place.

Instructors

Maarten Surya Adriaenssens

Location

The retreat will take place in Heers, Limburg, Belgium. Akasha Retreat Center is blessed to be able to live in a small old nun monastery that used to be part of the property of the castle of Hex, which is next door. Inside the building, one can still feel the sacredness and silence created through devotion and prayer. At the same time, they are creating a cozy family atmosphere for anyone to feel at home. The place itself awakens in many a feeling of peace and calm and is a nurturing ground to reconnect with the self and nature.
