Silence Retreat in Malmö

Usually we imagine going to some forest or beach for a silence retreat. Even though going to a quiet or a beautiful place can feel very nice for a short time period, the real trick is to carry that peace in our heart even when we are in the middle of chaos that surrounds our everyday life in the city. A city retreat is an excellent opportunity to feel deep peace and experience that it is possible to feel deep peace with all the chaos around us. Art of Living is famous for providing such retreat experiences in cities around the World! Come and experience our city retreat for the very first time in Malmö with Christopher - the most loved silence retreat teacher in Europe. He has been teaching this for more than 25 years.

In order to be dynamic, we need rest. However, it often happens that when we when we take a vacation, we come back feeling more exhausted and ‘in need of another holiday to get over that one'! The Silence Retreat is a real vacation, leaving us rejuvenated and relaxed in body, mind and spirit.

Christopher Kiran Byrt has been teaching Art of Living Silence Programs for more than 25 years and hence can be counted among the most experienced teachers in the world. His courses are light, joyful and with clear explanations of the wisdom hidden in each course. Not for nothing, Kiran is one of the most sought after teachers worldwide.

The Silence Retreat is a combination of:

• the Meditation and Breath workshop - in which the World-renowned Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique is taught, along with various processes that help tune our bodies, minds and spirits (just like the strings of a guitar are tuned) to feel more natural and free.
• the Silence Program which builds upon the foundations laid in the Meditation and Breath workshop, and which provides optimal conditions for going deeper within, quieting our mental chatter, and experiencing deep rest and inner peace.

The practice of silence – of consciously withdrawing our energy and attention from outer distractions – has been used in different traditions throughout time as a pathway to physical, mental, and spiritual renewal. By participating in various course processes specifically designed to take us beyond our usually active “monkey minds”, we experience an extraordinary sense of peace and renewed energy that we carry home with us. The course features:

• Three days of learning and practicing various breathing techniques (including Sudarshan Kriya Yoga), yoga and several processes, along with wisdom that helps build resilience and shows the path to leading a happy, peaceful life.
• Next few days of guided silence practice
• Unique guided meditations designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
• Advanced breathing techniques that can also be practiced at home after the course
• Rejuvenating yoga
• Advanced insight on the laws governing our mind and emotions
• Organic, wholesome meals

Take some time out for yourself - eat healthily, do physical and breathing exercises, sing, dance, laugh and enjoy deep rest with advanced meditation techniques. Words cannot do justice to the experience of The Silence Retreat.

Prerequisite: Anybody can sign up for the Silence Retreat.
