Silent Moment at Lotus Lake

Quiet Days

  • Coming again in 2010

As the busy energy of summer draws to a close, this week of quiet is a good way to wind down from the very outward energy of summertime, and to open to the more inward energy of autumn. It is a perfect way to renew your spiritual practices and rejuvenate your inner life.

It also is scheduled immediately after Ananda’s deeply inspiring and active Spiritual Renewal Week to offer time for participants of Spiritual Renewal Week to stay on and absorb the rich input of that week.

The week is open to all, and you can come for all or part of the week. Each day will include our usual twice-daily sessions of spiritual practices (Energization Exercises, yoga postures, and meditation), noon meditation, healthy vegetarian meals, as well as one scheduled teaching/experiential activity per day.

While not everyone will be in silence this week, it is a good time for you to do a silent retreat yourself.  We'll provide you with a "I am in silence" badge which others will respect.  There will be an outside area where you can carry your tray to eat in silence.  You can take silent affirmation walks and meditation walks.

Participants will have time for being quiet on their own, for enjoying massages at the Center for Radiant Health, and for beautiful walks at Ananda and the adjacent Sierra Foothills.

“Within a few days I began to experience a peace and joy that I had never felt before in my entire life. What was unique and wonderful about this vacation was that the new level of peace I felt was a direct result of the yoga lifestyle I was living at The Expanding Light Retreat.”
