Details of this retreat
This program is designed for the experienced meditator who has done at least one Art of living Part 2 or Art of Silence Program, and is looking to take their experience to a whole new depth. This program is designed to be more intensive, with more and longer meditations. Participants dive into silence at the beginning of the course itself.
The Intensive Silence Course provides optimal conditions for quietening our mental chatter, going deep within and experiencing inner peace. The practice of silence has been used in different traditions and cultures throughout time as a unique pathway to personal discovery: consciously withdrawing our attention from outer distractions and observing silence for a few days can allow us to experience an extraordinary sense of physical, mental and spiritual renewal.

Ce programme est conçu pour les méditants expérimentés ayant déjà suivi au moins un cours Art de Vivre Partie 2 ou un Programme de Silence, et qui souhaitent approfondir leur expérience à un tout autre niveau. Ce programme est plus intensif, avec davantage de méditations, plus longues. Les participants entrent dans le silence dès le début du stage.
Le Cours Intensif de Silence offre des conditions idéales pour apaiser le bavardage mental, plonger profondément en soi et goûter à la paix intérieure. La pratique du silence a été utilisée dans diverses traditions et cultures au fil du temps comme un chemin unique de découverte personnelle : en retirant consciemment notre attention des distractions extérieures et en observant le silence pendant quelques jours, il devient possible de vivre un profond renouveau physique, mental et spirituel.
