About this event
Exploring the infinite spaces of time and creation.
STARTS 8 SEPTEMBER \~ ENDS 28 SEPTEMBER WITH A DAY RETREAT
21 days of live meditative practices through silence, expression and sharing.
PRESENTATION AND PURPOSE
Who are we beyond the constant noise, the need for company, the permanent external stimulus?
Sooner or later we are invited to find stillness within ourselves, in the silent comfort of our own presence and existence.
An invitation to explore in a practical way the relationship we have with ourselves and with the world, developing reciprocity and openness to allow silence to expresses in us, emerging from itself.
On this 21 consecutive days journey we will prioritize guided meditation practices in silence and moments of expression and sharing will be widely promoted. We will end this journey together with a full day retreat for integration, support and connection.
WHY
The practice of meditation invites us to observe, listen and feel what arises in a revealing and intimate encounter with the truth.
The practice of meditation suggests both an internal dive and a recognition and openness to reality as it is, preparing us for the original and unknown mystery of each new moment.
The practice of meditation guides us to the totality of ourselves in an experiential, unique and surprising way, embracing the integrity of the moment in the form of freedom.
THE JOURNEY
Throughout the Journey of Silence we will embrace guided meditation practices mostly in silence, exploring different positions, times, spaces, intentions, focuses.
We will use the body as a reference, the attention as a compass and breathing as a flow in this continuous encounter with the silence that lives in us and in the world.
We will emphasize and cultivate silence through personal, direct and objective experience and complement the journey with writing, drawing, movement, expression and sharing, in a place of understanding, openness and non-judgment.
FOR WHOM
Interested in developing the relationship with themselves and the worlds through the practical exploration of meditation.
Interested in deepening the potential of silence as a field of fertile, safe and creative consciousness.
Interested in promoting understanding, autonomy and consistency in their individual meditation practice.
