"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth." - Mahatma Gandi

Silent Ascension – April 17 – 21, 2014
Welcome to experience Silent Ascension - a multidimensional silent retreat to find your inner voice and use it to communicate with others through the fields of awareness we call: No In-between. These realms of consciousness and connection will be deeply explored during our group meditation gatherings. During the retreat there is also freedom and encouragement to breathe and move fully. Explore the Retreat Centre; nestle by the community fireplace with a journal, sketchbook or friend, make a contemplative walk around the lake, dance barefoot in the garden and grow your appetite for fresh homemade organic vegetarian/vegan meals. In addition to our group meditation gatherings, each day will culminate in The Alignment – an experiential multidimensional group-healing event designed to assist in realizing your full dynamic potential and connects you with your divine awareness. During The Alignment, there will also be opportunities to receive The Offering, direct one-to-one XD transmissions. Location This retreat centre is a beautiful peaceful spot surrounded by spectacular lake and rivers. It is just 2,5-hour. drive from London, 4-hour drive from Utrecht and the centre offers a private minibus to collect your from London or anywhere else in Europe. That's the best and easiest way to get there, unless you prefer to come with your own vehicle. Please contact us, so that we may assist you to find the best and cheapest way to get there! Duration

"My first silent retreat was an unforgettable experience. By being present with myself and others within the silence, our human skills to speak with mind and energy quickly revived. Funny enough, this 'language' gives no ground for confusion. What remained: an outburst of love for every one and the whole world. Without the noise of speaking and need for compensation or 'filling' something, also distractive thoughts disappeared, and my perception towards more subtle impressions enhanced big time. My own inner world became clear and spacious. When we could speak again, we just sat there in silence...."
