SILENCE RETREAT

"Silence, Nature & Simplicity – Listen to your inner voice."

Update: This Silence retreat is now open to all ages!

You are warmly invited to participate in a week-long silent retreat at Dharma Mountain, guided by monastics and lay Dharma teachers from Plum Village.

The world is becoming increasingly hectic, filled with distractions and noise, not only around us but also within us. This retreat will offer you the opportunity to rediscover your inner calm by letting go of external distractions, such as conversations, cell phones, and other media.

The Dharma Mountain practice center is situated in a setting of profound silence, surrounded by ancient mountains, broken only by birdsong and the whisper of the wind in the pines. This serene environment and the center's simplicity will foster the deep listening we need to hear our deepest aspirations.

All retreat activities will be guided by monastic or lay Dharma teachers. After an introduction to the week's practice, the retreat will include sessions of silent seated meditation, meditative walks on mountain trails, and group sharing.

This retreat is reserved for those who have already participated in a retreat at Plum Village or in the Plum Village tradition. Participants commit to attending all activities and practicing Noble Silence throughout the retreat.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dharma Mountain!
