What happens when you step away, slow down, and enter the sanctuary of quiet? This retreat invites you to rediscover the gifts of the present moment so you can develop a more intimate relationship with your life. Join Kripalu faculty members on the Kripalu campus as they guide you through the doorway of silence to cultivate present moment awareness. Through embodied meditations, guided mindful movement, small group inquiry and sharing, journal explorations, and nature-based practices, you will learn how to Observe your experience without judgmentAttune to the subtle flow of existence both inside and outListen and connect to the wisdom and truth within youDeepen your awareness and open to the fullness of life. Silence will be encouraged throughout this entire retreat, including meal times, except during structured short lecture, small practice group meetings, and Q&A sessions. Please note the rest of the Kripalu campus will not be in silence which means other guests will be speaking and communicating. NOTE Please bring outdoor clothing appropriate for all weather conditions as portions of this retreat include outdoor programming. On warmer days, more time will be spent outside to be with the earth, connect to the elements, and utilize the outdoors as a pathway to connection and presence.Still Curious? Read Jess Frey's reflections on the program in her two articles "3 Powerful Benefits of a Silent Retreat" and "A Winter Cocoon of Connection: The Benefits of a Silent Retreat." Sidebar Navigation "This program is a gentle, welcoming, holding experience. You will see and experience yourself in new ways that will bring you amazement, love, compassion, and kindness." - Program participant I have been to three silent retreats and...each time, I release more... and embrace more heart, trust, compassion, and wisdom. In the stillness and silence, I came to accept and allow myself to be as I am without labeling myself 'broken'. The insights gained were profound and meaningful [and] the things I saw inside were both stunning and difficult. My path is forever altered after this retreat. For the first time in a long time, I now have the tools within me that I need. - Program participant Included In Your Stay Daily Yoga Classes 3 Nutritious Meals a Day Access to the Kripalu Grounds Schedules 3-Day Retreat OPENING DAY2:00 pmCheck-in begins4:45–6:00Kripalu Yoga class5:30–7:30Dinner7:00–9:00Program SessionDAILY6:30–7:45 amKripalu Yoga class7:30–9:00Silent Breakfast9:00–11:30Program Session11:30–1:30 pmLunch1:30–4:00Program Session4:45–6:00Kripalu Yoga class5:30–7:30Dinner7:30-8:30Program Session (Optional)CLOSING DAY6:30–7:45 amKripalu Yoga class7:30–9:00Silent Breakfast9:00–11:00Program Session11:30–1:30 pmLunch and DeparturePlease note: Rooms are ready by 4:00 pm.
