Silence is essential: our body and mind are so full of noise that we cannot listen to it.
In our time, information darts through the brain like a racing car, clogging up our brain. This is considered the age of communication, but we actually forget that we cannot communicate when there is noise. You are deafened by the desires produced by needs, by the thrust to fill with contents, things, sounds. In order to listen to yourself, you got to stop and be quiet.
Only with silence can you listen to the sound of life, and taste its beauty.
Most inner noise is produced by the automatic ceaseless chatter inside our brain. Just stop a few seconds, breathe and become aware of you rhythm to break the noise. No matter how long this moment lasts: intensity counts.
While being described as the absence of sound, the silence of your mind has a powerful sound. It is essential for us: we need it more than the air.
In the tradition of yoga, silence is given the same importance of the word.
Silence and word are both oriented towards one goal: i.e. escaping from the constraints which prevent us from seeing the true essence of things.
Commonly, if we think of silence, we tend to associate it to the simple break of the flow of words, to those few moments of quiet when we manage to pull ourselves out of the noise surrounding us. When yoga practitioners accept silence, they really start their long path towards the heart of yoga.
The realization of yoga, a state of oneness, is only possible when you empty your mind. This is indispensableif you want to experience “the souond without souond of inner silence”.
We will spend 4 days immersed in silence, in natural surroundings, in a peaceful place.
We will practice, breathe, and meditate; there will be a session of meditation and mantra with the Yoga Master Bruno Malatesta.
We will be off-line for the whole retreat; we will use no mobile phones, tablets or computers. All devices will be delivered on arrival and returned on departure.
In case of urgent communications, you can call the hotel reception.
The Resort
Immersed in the green valleys of Assisi, 2 Km from the medieval hamlet of Armenzano, we find the Resort Le Silve, converted from an ancient Hostell dating back to the 13th. Characterized by an understated elegance, the estate is just 11 km from Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis. With an ideal combination of ancient and modern styles, rustic and refineddetails, its rooms are elegantly furnished and offer a panoramic view on the surrounding area. The regional park of Mount Subasio is the natural setting of the most beautiful historical centres of Umbria: Assisi, Spello, Bevagna and Montefalco.
