Summary

I offer neither a structured program nor methods, techniques, or readings, but rather a safe space with the opportunity to endure and express yourself with what is. My concept is an alternative to rigid retreats with therapeutic and group dynamic methods. You design your own daily program—apart from meal times. You remain silent. You feel. You live from moment to moment and do whatever comes to mind. You are free. That is the essence. You are with yourself, within yourself, in silence. You observe. You can express yourself creatively for a maximum of 2 hours per day, through writing, painting, or dancing—if you feel like it. You don't have to perform, prove anything to anyone, or fit into a group setting. No prior knowledge, beliefs, theoretical knowledge, or therapeutic experience is required to participate in the silent retreat—just the courage to be honest, patience, compassion, and the willingness to really look and open yourself up to what is.
