Silent Retreat – Special Focus: Spiritual Psychotherapy

About the retreat

This retreat is for the ones who yearn for a deeper dive into a longer silent retreat of 5 days with a mix of Yoga, Meditation, Satsang, Self-Inquiry, Spiritual Psychotherapy, Nature walks and Dance. To be in Silence for a while is a great gift and allows you to get in deep contact with your Self, with the group and with Nature.

We will stop speaking after the first dinner and until the last lunch. During this time you will be guided by Evelyne, an experienced Yoga & Meditation teacher and a Spiritual Psychotherapist, and taken on a journey home to the core of your Being, the essence within yourself. Sometimes clear insights and decisions can come from that place. And for sure it is the place of peace and unbound happiness.

This retreat has a special focus on Spiritual Psychotherapy, as developed by Evelyne. Each afternoon, you will have a Spiritual Psychotherapy session, where you can explore both the spiritual realms and your shadow sides — growing up and growing down. Spiritual trauma work will also be included, approached in a way that is both gentle and deep. You don’t need to be a psychotherapist or have any previous experience in psychotherapy to join this retreat. An openness to and genuine interest in the topic is enough.

The soft Vinyasa Yoga lessons in the morning will help you to come into your body, to stretch and open it, so that you get an easier access to your inner world. The morning meditations/silent sittings will help you to deal with your thoughts and get some distance to sticky thought patterns. The Nature walks in Silence will connect your inner nature with the outer nature and allow you to focus more on breathing, walking and the fascinating beauty and views surrounding Mandali.

The Spiritual Psychotherapy sessions in the afternoon will help you to break through difficult topics, emotions or patterns that might arise during the silent time. In the Self-Inquiry session, you can deepen your connection to your innermost core. The Satsang sessions in the evening are a place where you can bring forth your questions about your journey, life challenges and we look into essential questions like „Who am I“.

One evening there will be a dance, allowing you to loosen the body, the tensions, the thoughts and to celebrate life and the newborn realizations.

After this retreat, you may come out feeling like a newborn — deeply refreshed and renewed. And if you nurture this new Being that you are, you may slowly begin to align your life with it. You may stop making compromises that no longer feel right and start listening more closely to the silent voice within that tells you which way to go. In this way, it becomes possible to remain in deep contact with existence, giving you the courage and confidence to take the necessary steps and to live with a deeper trust in life.
