Return to Silence, Simplicity, and the Naturalness of Being
Rooted in the non-dual vision, the 28-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat invites you to move from effort to naturalness, from mental occupation to simple being, and from spiritual searching to intimate recognition.
Senior Hridaya teacher Claud Vaduva will create a carefully held space for inwardness and depth so you can experience Self-Inquiry as a holistic path, a living doorway to direct knowledge.
Long periods of silence and individual practice are an essential part of this retreat. They are supported by guided meditations, Hridaya Hatha Yoga, walking meditation, sacred readings, poetry, meditation in nature, and time for reflection and journaling.
The Gift of Time and Space
Rather than moving quickly from one experience to the next, this retreat offers spaciousness: a chance to be still, listen to your heart, and let your insights ripen over time. The emphasis is not on receiving more, but on allowing what is essential to naturally arise. Join us.

“There are no words to describe the depth that you can touch during this time.”
“It has been one of the most profound experiences of my life... I'm in this state of beingness where the mind is just calm, where the connection is there with everything—nature, the Heart, people, presence. And that is the gift of Love.”
“Since the retreat ended, there's been a continuous resting in a very beautiful space of presence and aliveness with life just as it is.”
“The moment of existence that I was in was utterly perfect because everything that had come before it was exactly how it was.”
