Over dit evenement
Silent Meditation Retreat (guided in English), Sunday 7 June 9.00-13.00h at Mindfulness Centrum Haarlem.
[located in Haarlem city center, 8 min walk from train station]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT
Enjoy a few hours with slow yoga meditation and plenty of time with rest and peace for yourself. A Sunday afternoon full of 'me time'.
Our silent meditation retreat lasts around 3.5 to 4 hours.
During these 3.5 hours we practice various meditation exercises in silence. All exercises are guided by the trainer (who is talking for the meditation instructions).
THE IDEA
The idea of a mindful silent retreat is unplugging, slowing down and creating awareness from moment to moment, such as your movements, your wandering mind, your response.
Think about walking up or down the stairs, fully aware of all sensation while drinking a cup of tea or simply relax.
By embracing stillness, you will have the opportunity noticing better your state of mind, your bodily experiences or feelings.
HOW DOES A DAY LOOK LIKE?
We will start at 13.15 (walk-in time), start at 13.30 pm , end at 17.00/ 17.30h.
During the welcome, talking is still allowed. First the trainer will outline the details of the program. As soon there are no more questions, the signal for silence follows.
9.00 am: Walk in & Welcome
9.15 am: Start
Various exercises, e.g.
- Slow easy Yoga
- Bodyscan
- Breathing meditation
- Meditation on seeing/ viewing, walking, listening,.... other techniques
12.30 pm: end of guided practices (choice to leave in silence)
12.30 -13.00 Optional Q&A- exchange (c.a. 20-30 min)
BREAKS
Every meditation exercise is followed up by a break. So you have time for simply doing nothing, enjoy the stillness, use it for reflection, walking around, enjoying our garden/courtyard, eating, drinking or writing down some notes.
ENDING:
Towards the end of the retreat around there will be the option exchanging your experiences if you wish to do so. But you also have the choice to leave in stillness and skip a Q&A session.
PRACTICAL
- Wear some comfortable clothing that doesn't pinch (layers).
