About this event
Who are we beyond the constant noise, the need for company, the permanent external stimulus?
PRESENTATION AND PURPOSE
Sooner or later we are invited to find stillness within ourselves, in the silent comfort of our own presence and existence.
In this course, we explore in a practical way our relationship with silence, developing reciprocity and openness so that silence expresses in us, emerging from itself.
The process is gradual over six months, supported by a growing relationship of intimacy with ourselves and with the world.
Although the course prioritizes meditative practices in silence, it is not a silent retreat, as moments of sharing will be widely promoted.
WHY
The practice of silent meditation proposes us to listen to what arises as it arises, in a continuous encounter with the inner truth.
The practice of silent meditation suggests an internal and autonomous dive into ourselves, preparing us for the original and unknown mystery of life.
The practice of silent meditation orients us to the totality in an experiential, unique and revealing way, embracing each new moment as it is.
THE COURSE
The Deep Silence meditation course contemplates meditation practices exclusively in silence, exploring different positions, times, spaces, internal and external focuses.
We complement the journey with writing, drawing, movement and sharing, in a place of understanding, openness and non-judgment.
We use the body as a reference, the attention as a compass and breathing as a flow in this permanent encounter with the silence that lives in us.
We emphasize progressive learning, cultivating Deep Silence through a personal, direct and objective experience.
