“Silence is the source of true strength” Lao Tzu
Winter is a time when the natural outward moving energies intuitively begin to turn inwards making a winter silent retreat a perfect time for self awareness and reflective practices to discover the quieter inner you.
The ashram situated on the edge of the Wombat State Forest is a perfect silent retreat environment offering time and space, not always available in other forms of living.
Make a Sankalpa – intention and commit to a silent retreat to recognize the present mind and cultivate the attitude of becoming a watcher to ones actions & reactions.
The body cannot move without an instruction, but unfortunately the mind does. The more we are conscious and present naturally the mind becomes less busy, more focused and clear without effort, revealing deeper understanding and inner contentment.
• yoga asanas & pranayama become the basis for stillness
