Join a Silent Meditation Retreat in Miami to start your 2024 by truly unplugging from ALL your external stresses.One of the most powerful ways to start the year is in retreat; looking inward and reflecting on your goals for the year. Modern ŌM has organized a New Year Silent Meditation Retreat for the Miami meditation community.
Led by senior wisdom teacher Amanda Gilbert, this retreat will focus on the foundational teachings of mindfulness meditation and compassion.
You can expect lectures themed on going inward, the courage to live authentically, and how to embody your practice in 2024.
This retreat can be booked for 1 or 2 days and will provide you the reset you need to enter the year renewed, inspired, and empowered.
How it works // This immersive retreat is conducted in noble silence and you will be in a supportive group container for your meditation practice to deepen and flourish.
The daily structure includes:
- Sitting meditation (with instruction)
- Walking meditation
- Periods for reflection
- Mindful eating practice
- Morning and afternoon wisdom talks
Meditating in noble silence offers a special opportunity to maintain and reinvest your energy into yourself.
Very few people can attend a silent retreat, often because the commitment in time, travel, and cost is so high. This program is accessible to all locally who have been ready for a silent meditation retreat.
All levels are welcome. No prior experience is necessary.
