Summary
SILENCE IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE POPULAR....and silence is much more than just not speaking. Silence means stillness of mind!
Silence retreats are a wonderfully healing way to clear your mind.
The latest research confirms our goal of calming the mind through silence and,
above all, freeing our brains from old burdens. Most of you have already participated in one or more
silence retreats and have already experienced the benefits that come when things grow quieter.
The issues that have been holding us back in life fade into the background as the days of silence unfold. The current life issues that need reflection usually become clearly visible and tangible within the very first hours of silence.
In the phase that follows, we can then turn our full attention to the NOW and perceive the healing slowing down of mind and body on a “spiritual” level. We find it easier and more conscious to remain centered within ourselves, in our own unique interplay of body, mind, and soul, and experience ourselves in “BEING”…
Seminar Facilitators:
We are Marion and Bernhard Hötzel, and we each have 45 years of meditation experience, 20 of which we have spent working as meditation teachers.
We teach at our own institute, as well as serving as guest instructors at other institutes and as lecturers for NEURO-Meditation at the Vienna University of Technology (TH-Campus Wien). We have received traditional training in Asia, the U.S., and Europe, and are very familiar with humanistic psychology and the realities of our modern times.
