The Dao of Stillness: A Silent Retreat for Self-Healing

Facilitated by Tara Matthews, L.Ac, MDP

Feb 9, 2018 – Feb 11, 2018

“Silence is a source of Great Strength.”
― Lao Tzu

We gather in the Winter, where we come face to face and heart to heart with our most deep and blessed self. The invitation is to meet yourself in the place before words. Before this body. Before this space shaped you and influenced your sacred sound. We will enter a space of purification unlike any other~ reattuned to our original state of astonishment and presence. And through this portal, we will meet our clearest relationship to intuition and high wisdom~ allowing Source to speak without interuption.
This will be a time of nourishment. Our physcial needs will be provided for, our space is placed within nature, and the soft intonation of your heart will be close~ and perhaps heard for the very first time.

This is an introductory retreat of silence (2 nights, one day with an opening and closing integration phase) and will be supported by:
~Spiritual Healing through the Practice of Silence
~ Daoist approaches to Wellness and Centering (Winter Seasonal Healing Practices)
~Restorative Kundalini Yoga
~A clean Winter diet that nourishes and destresses
~A quiet, sacred space that offers ample time in nature
~A Sound Bath Reintroduction
~Optional body and energetic work sessions during your stay, completed in silence to help you with your journey of restoration. (Polarity, Acupuncture, Sat Nam Rasayan, Massage Therapy)
~Shamanic Energy Circle
~Communicating from the Heart
