Nectar of Silence - Meditation Retreat
Join internationally known master meditation teacher Harshada Wagner for an ECSTATIC Silent Retreat! Dive into a new level of freedom, embodiment, and connection to Spirit. Our silent retreat in Wallkill, New York will be a deep dive into meditation and other awareness practices rooted in the ecstatic yoga tradition.
Silent Practice (maun sadhana) is an age old practice to help facilitate altered states of consciousness in a retreat setting. This IS NOT Vipassana. Our ecstatic approach to silence includes laughter and engagement of the senses. Harshada will teach you how to practice silence without going into your head or getting too serious. It really is ecstatic.
Mahayoga is a ancient tradition originating in India that works with the awakened Kundalinī Shakti - the innate spiritual intelligence dwelling deep inside every person. The retreat will spend from Thursday night to Sunday lunchtime meditating, doing silent tantra walks in the wilderness surrounding the retreat center, moving in Body Temple dance ceremonies and asana sessions, working with mantra, and diving deep into powerful meditative states. This retreat is a profound immersion experience.
Our retreat venue is the wonderful Wild Heart Center for Performance and Embodiment Practice in Wallkill, New York. The indoor spaces are warm and comfortable. The outdoor areas and surrounding land offer the stunning natural beauty of the Catskills in Spring. The Wild Heart Center is situated on Schaghticoke and Munsee Lenape ancestral land surrounded by 46 acres of forest, field, lake, and wetlands.
Our retreat has single rooms, double rooms, dorm-style housing, and camping options. The center has a commercial kitchen and we will provide abundant delicious vegetarian food. Many of the buildings with rooms have their own kitchens so you can make tea, store snacks, etc.
