Rather than withdrawing from life, the practice of silence creates space to observe the mind more clearly and cultivate a deeper understanding of your true nature.\nInspired by master yogi Baba Hari Dass’s ( https://mountmadonna.org/about/baba-hari-dass/ ) own lifelong observance of silence, this silent meditation retreat will offer you an opportunity to experience silence as more than the absence of speech. Silence is one of many yogic methods for quieting the mind. Practicing silence conserves prana (life energy): because speech is carried on the exhalation, the more we speak, the more energy we expend. Energy you conserve becomes available for deeper practice and inner awareness.\nAt this five-day retreat, you will experience:\n\nOpening and closing circles to begin and conclude the shared journey\nMorning and evening arati (ritual of light) performed at Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple\nDaily ritual sadhana integrating pranayama with sitting, standing, walking, and reclining meditation\nAfternoon pranayama and meditation with reflection on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali\nTwice-daily asana — including all-levels classes that support the body in seated meditation, more vigorous classes that help move energy in the body, and ritualized asana including Surya Namaskar (salute to the sun) with chanting\nEvening chanting, meditation, kirtan (devotional singing), yoga nidra (yogic sleep), and restorative practice\nTwo vegetarian meals per day, shared in silence within community\nPersonal time for reflection — wandering the redwood forests and meadows, visiting the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, reading, or journaling, with teachers available for questions and guidance\nOutdoor contemplative practices exploring the elements and the natural world, weather permitting\nOptional wellness treatment at Kaya Kalpa Wellness Center ( https://mountmadonna.org/visit/wellness/ ) (advance reservations recommended)\n\n[/vc_column_text][nectar_highlighted_text style=”none” text_direction=”default”]\n“SILENCE IS THE SECLUSION OF THE MIND.\nSPEECH BRINGS THE MIND IN THE WORLD.\nSILENCE IS THE DESIRELESS STATE OF THE MIND.\nSPEECH EXPRESSES DESIRES IN THE MIND.\nSILENCE TOUCHES THE INNER SELF.\nSPEECH EXCITES THE EGO SELF IN THE WORLD.\nSILENCE BRINGS DIVINE SONG WITHIN.\nSPEECH CREATES SONG FOR OTHERS.\nSILENCE IS THE PRIOR STATE OF CREATION.\nSOUND IS THE CAUSE OF CREATION.”\n[/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_highlighted_text style=”none” text_direction=”default”]\nBaba Hari Dass\n[/nectar_highlighted_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Drawing from the lineage teachings of Baba Hari Dass and guided by longtime Mount Madonna teachers and practitioners, Silence Speaks is a retreat devoted to the practice of silence and inner reflection. The practices of this retreat follow Baba Hari Dass’s integrated approach to sadhana (spiritual practice), weaving together pranayama (breathing practices), meditation, asana (postures), chanting, ritual, and self-study.\nWhile conversation is set aside, chanting mantras (sacred chanting), singing kirtan (devotional singing), and participating in ritual are shared in the company of satsang (community or gathering of spiritual seekers). Writing is welcomed when communication is necessary, and teachers are available throughout the retreat to offer guidance and support. Silence begins after the Opening Circle on Wednesday evening and concludes at brunch on Sunday, allowing time to connect and reflect on your experience with fellow participants.\nWhether you have an established meditation practice or are looking to expand your understanding of Yoga, we invite you to join us for five days of shared silence, sincere practice, and nurturing community. Guided by the teachings of Baba Hari Dass and supported by experienced teachers, fellow practitioners, and the natural beauty of Mount Madonna, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life, settle the mind, open the heart, and discover the gift of profound inner stillness.\nWays to attend:\n\nIn-person at Mount Madonna.\nTuition: $595 + accommodations & meals. Minimum 48-hours advance registration required.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default”

A yurt is a cozy, circular space provided by a wood structure and canvas walls. Each yurt is situated on a wooden platform, and is outfitted with a comfortable queen- or twin-size beds, linens, towels, warm comforters and blankets. A separate bathhouse with private flush toilets and shower rooms is nearby. The yurts are a short distance from the associated parking area. Note that high levels of rainfall November – April may affect yurt accessibility (walking path is available year-around).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container”

Please note: commuting is not recommended for this retreat. Leaving campus each day disrupts the immersive nature of the program and increases the likelihood of encountering people or environments not observing silence.
