Deep Listening 

WE HAVE a Silent Yoga Retreat coming up from March 20 to 22 and it’s designed to be an intimate journey within. 

It’s not for the fainthearted, as you will confront lots of stuff inside you that you have ignored for decades. 

As we silence the chatter in our heads your body will ask for attention. 

Why do I hurt here? What is this heaviness? Why have you ignored this pain for so long? 

You’ll start to develop an awareness and a deep intimacy with the only person on Earth who will be with you through the good times and the bad times, and when you exit this planet – yourself. 

We all have a deep yearning for intimacy. 

To be listened to so deeply, in the presence of someone who won’t interrupt or offer unsolicited advice. 

Someone holding space as you verbalise all those tight, dark, hard things you’ve been keeping inside for so long. That someone will be you. 

Yoga offers us one of the greatest of human possibilities – the possibility of awakening. 

In this we must listen to the whole of ourselves, the stories we have held to protect ourselves from the suffering in life – stories of grief and fear and lost opportunities. 

You will realise the reality of the impermanence in all things, the cycle of change and death. 

And through all of this, in the fire of your truth and your silence, you will emerge powerful, free and joyous. 

It’s the path of the Boddhisatva, the Warrior.
