Fall Silent Retreat: The Changing Colors of Your Inner Life

with Reverend Sam Rudra Swartz, IYM, E-RYT 200, RCYT, YACEP and Integral Yoga Senior Staff

October 11 - 14, 2018

Autumn is a season of introspection. It is the perfect time for reflection, renewal, and self-growth. Join us for Yogaville’s annual Fall Silent Retreat to reconnect with your inner self and apply the timeless practices of Yoga to your daily life.

In spiritual practice, we observe the activity of the mind and develop an awareness of our thoughts and emotions. These shifting thoughts and emotions form a colorful inner landscape. During this silent retreat, witness your internal state and understand how you can create positive, inner transformation.

Through the practice of silence and the teachings of Integral Yoga, you’ll go deep within and return home with greater peace and self-awareness.

The silent retreat talks, practices, and reflections will help you to:

  • Observe your internal state and understand how you can make slight adjustments to create transformation
  • Acknowledge your essential oneness, yet cherish your innate uniqueness
  • Awaken new talents that have not yet been recognized
  • Use the five Integral Yoga paths to nurture your five human needs
  • See life as an ever-new, challenging, and exciting experience
  • Respond with personal effort to make progress toward your goals

What to expect

For over 30 years the Integral Yoga silent retreats have been offering participants a safe, supportive space to focus on their spiritual practice. Surrounded by a serene woodland landscape, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in silence while seasoned teachers offer experiential workshops and classes in Yoga philosophy, meditation, deep relaxation, and more.

Private mentoring is available. You may also seek support or clarification during the retreat by asking written questions.

Who can attend

These retreats are open to everyone—from beginners to advanced Yoga retreatants. Those who are new to meditation or Yoga practices will receive full instruction, while those with experience will have the opportunity to explore more deeply.
