Silent Retreat  -Version française ici

​

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

Update: This silent retreat is now open to all age participants !

You are warmly invited to participate in a silent Retreat for one week at Dharma Mountain guided by monastics and lay Dharma teachers from Plum Village.
The world is becoming increasingly busy, filled with distractions and noise all around us — but also within us. This Retreat will offer you the opportunity to return to your inner calm by letting go of external distractions, such as conversations, mobile phones and other media.

The Dharma Mountain practice center is already located in a setting of deep silence, surrounded by ancient mountains, interrupted only by the songs of birds and the sound of the wind in the pines. This healthy environment and the simplicity of the center will encourage the deep listening we need in order to hear our deepest aspirations for our life.

All retreat activities will be guided by monastic teachers or lay dharma teachers. After an introduction to the week's practice, the Retreat will unfold with sessions of silent sitting, mindful walking on mountain trails and group sharing.

This Retreat is only offered to those who have already attended a Plum Village Retreat, or in the tradition of Plum Village. Participants are required to attend all activities and to practice noble silence throughout the Retreat. We are looking forward to welcome you in Dharma Mountain!
