San Damiano Retreat 10:31

The Power of Silence
A Weekend Retreat
October 31-November 2
Silence is the deepest and most authentic form of
communication, both with others and within
ourselves. It is the language that transcends the
constant noise of our minds and allows us to
experience our essence, the true Self, that purest
state of being, a state of peace, joy, and love.
Days will include:
• Morning and afternoon Hatha Yoga
• Guided subtle body practices and meditation
• Personal contemplative time
• Fresh vegetarian meals
