||||5-Tages-Silent Retreat im Seminarhaus Bergengel im Kiental (CH)..5 Day Silent Retreat at seminar house Bergengel (“mountain angel”) at Kiental, Switzerland||||

Retreat language: English (Some German translations possible.)

This retreat is for the ones who would like to take a longer deep dive into Silence with a mix of Yoga, Meditation, Satsang, Self-Inquiry, Dance and nature walks.

To be in Silence for a while is a great gift and allows you to get in deep contact with your Self, with the group, and with nature. We will stop speaking from after the first dinner until the last lunch. During this time you will be taken on a journey home to the core of your Being, the essence within yourself. Sometimes clear insights and decisions can come from that place, and for sure it is the place of peace and unbound happiness.

The soft Vinyasa Yoga lessons in the morning will help you to come into your body, to stretch and open it so that you get easier access to your inner world. The morning meditations or silent sittings will help you to deal with your thoughts and get some distance to sticky thought patterns. Nature walks in silence will connect your inner nature with the outer nature and allow you to focus more on breathing, walking, and the beauty of the surrounding mountains. The Satsangs in the evening are a place where you can bring forth your questions about meditation, life challenges and we could talk about essential questions like „Who am I?“. There will be a dance session on one of the evenings which will allow you to loosen the body, release tensions and thoughts, and celebrate life and the newborn realizations.

After this retreat, you may come out as a newborn, totally refreshed. And if you feed that new Being that you are, you may slowly start to align your life to it. You may stop making wrong compromises and listen to that silent voice within that tells you which way to go. In that way, it is possible to stay in deep contact with existence, which will give you extra courage and confidence to take the necessary steps and to live in deeper trust in life.

The retreat takes place in a beautifully renovated farmhouse in the Swiss Mountains, at Kiental, Scharnachtal. The Seminar house Bergengel is easily accessed by public transportations, every 2 hours from Basel oder Zurich, train to Spiez, then to Reichenbach, short bus ride to Scharnachtal Haltingen, 5 Min. walk to the house.

We will have the whole house for ourselves and plenty of space to dive deep and just be and enjoy nature and the program.
