Are you ready to spend a day communing with your Soul?
Not chatting with others about this or that, but diving deeply within to the silent stillness that awaits you. Always available, yet typically overlooked as you move through your busy life. Heading here and there, thinking this and that, and seeking whatever is needed at this time of your life. It’s difficult to have depth communication with your Inner Radiance when someone is always chattering (your mind, societal mind) and things are always moving (your attention, worldly beckoning). Therefore, it’s difficult to gain clear insight and practical wisdom to guide you through whatever Life is bringing to you at this moment. I imagine you’d benefit from clear and practical guidance, as well as a glimpse (or more) of your true Radiant Nature. 

A Silent Retreat offers you the rare opportunity to immerse yourself in stillness, inner exploration, mindful movement, and exploration of that inner territory which opens to the Cosmos.
The benefits of a Silent Retreat have been extolled in many wisdom traditions. Indigenous customs include the solitary walk about or vision quest. Contemplative traditions structure days in silence and nondoing. Religions encourage periods of silent prayer and communion with Divine. However you describe it, sitting within silence holds great promise for anyone seeking to “know thyself,” rejuvenate, and shift out of habitual doing and mindless thinking.  With this “digital, schedule, and people detox,” you’ll allow your mind-body-energy system the opportunity to process out old stuff. Gaining insights, recovering access to beauty and higher states, calming the nervous system, recognizing inner sturdiness, and basking in that relaxed brilliance which is really, truly always available. Now, you’ll have a direct path and know how to return.

You’re invited to join me at Soul Sanctuary for a day of silence and a commitment to Follow your Soul. 
The idea of an entire day in silence (gasp!) may be intimidating, yet you are wired for the experience. The structure of the day is well laid out, providing you (and your inquiring, nervous mind) with the map for your unfolding experience. Within the beauty and high frequency of Soul Sanctuary, you’ll move through the agenda laid out below. It will be clear to everyone so there is no confusion about what to do when. No need to ask for extra instruction or reach out to your fellow Silence Sojourners to ask what is next. I’ll hand you a plan. You agree to commit to discovery and enjoy (or not) what arrives moment to moment.  

Here’s the layout of the day so there aren’t any surprises:

9:30 am    Introduction, Guidelines for Silent Retreat, Schedule, Beautiful Question, Chanting
