Event Details
Have you been looking for a silent yoga and meditation retreat? A deeper experience that will help you to become present, still your mind, and move further inwards?
If you have some general experience with yoga and meditation but are looking to dive deeper in your spiritual practice then this is the retreat for you.
Going Deeper is a silent retreat created by renowned spiritual teacher Baba Hari Dass, specifically for the purposes of turning our focus inwards. Using a blend of yogic techniques including postures, breathwork, chanting and meditation, each day devotes several hours to spiritual practices that guide you away from external distraction and towards your inner self.
To support this aim, we observe a vow of silence, maintain a simple and easy-to-digest vegetarian diet, and preserve a cave-like atmosphere of seclusion where windows are covered and lights kept to a minimum.
What retreat participants earn through this austere journey is a feeling of being more present, a mind that is comparatively still, and a sense of being more deeply connected to their inner selves.
Space is limited.

Testimonial
“I feel like I was really uninformed and naive about cancer and cancer treatment before the workshop. Now I feel like I have a tiny bit of knowledge – and it’s not so scary to think about teaching to folks on a journey with cancer. There is NO WAY that I would have been comfortable teaching at Inspire Health without the workshop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your wisdom Chetna! I feel very fortunate to have been able to study with you. You are an inspiring teacher and mentor.”
