5-Day Hridaya Easter Silent Retreat

The Path of Love and Surrender to the Divine

with Antoaneta Gotea

March 26–31, 2024

Presented in English in Longeval, France

Go Deeper on the Path of Love and Surrender
through the Teachings of Jesus and Other Masters

Easter is a time of renewal and a celebration of Eternity. This Easter, senior Hridaya teacher Antoaneta invites you to celebrate this precious and special time by diving into the depths of your own heart through the teachings and life of Jesus, seen through the light of Advaita Vedanta (non-duality) and Bhakti Yoga.

This 5-day Easter silent meditation retreat will open you to the path of compassion, which was so majestically displayed by the great avatar and bodhisattva Jesus Christ. We’ll navigate the realm of the Heart through prayer, contemplation on the teachings and life of Jesus and other masters, Hatha Yoga, and silent meditation.

We’ll turn our attention to kindness and love, the most powerful force in the Universe, and look for the Light that resides in our hearts and open ourselves to the highest phenomenon that a human being can experience, compassion.

May this retreat be for the benefit of all sentient beings!
