Silent Retreats 2010
(in het Nederlands)
September 4 - September 11, 2010
( two places left available )
A few years ago Celeste Neelen took a group of people to the Sinai peninsular, to experience the desert in silence. She is now organizing Silence Retreats at Limnisa.
"The atmosphere here is ideal" she says.
" The seclusion of the house and the bay, the ever changing rhythm of the sea with all its shades of blue, all help you to become quiet. Within this quietness you can look inwards - beyond what you're 'supposed to be' - to what you find really essential.
"Limnisa was like a warm bath. You made me feel welcome and safe. The location was superbe and you were a perfect team! I took a few more steps in the right direction towards my life goal. "
Silent Retreat.
Are you patient enough to give time to let the mud sink so you can see clear water? Can you linger in silence until the moment presents itself and the right way to act becomes clear?
Program: We start the day by waking up our bodies and minds through physical exercises and meditation. After a delicious breakfast on one of the garden terraces we hold morning sessions with body work, dancing, energy work, reflection and meditation.
After a freshly made lunch you are free to spend the afternoon quietly as you wish - writing, swimming, walking of enjoying the nature around you. Each day concludes with a meditation session.
After the first introductory evening we will be quiet for four days, with short periods set aside when you will the chance to share your experiences, either in the group or in a private consultation. When the four days are up participants are welcome to either 'surface again' or stay quiet for the last few days.
Everyone will be asked to contribute an hour of practical work each day - our 'meditation behind the sink'. This can help keep you grounded!
For whom? This silent retreat is designed for anyone feeling a need for inner peace and renewal, or seeking to reconsider some aspect of life or work. It is not necessary to have any previous experience with meditation to take part.
Limnisa Centre offers single and shared accommodation. The rooms are simple and stylish with a beautiful view over the Aegean to the islands of Angristri and Aegina. You can walk straight from your room, down through the garden and into the sea!
* If you choose to stay in a tent in the garden, right next to the sea, we can offer a 100 euro discount.
The programs are put together with extreme care by Celeste Neelen. Celeste combines her own professional experience and knowledge as a consultant and psychologist with a gift for personal warmth that helps her connect with people. In combination with the silence and the beautiful, supporting surroundings of Limnisa we hope you will be inspired to take a fresh look at your life and gain new insight and knowledge. This can provide new energy for making future decisions.
