Trika Meditation Retreat

Cultivating mauna allows you to go much deeper in your retreat experience and achieve results you would otherwise not be able to reach. Continuous practice of silence is known to allow one’s mind to expand further, and for the spiritual effects to take root deeper in the various layers of your mind.

Exceptions to mauna are, of course, the days of arrival and departure. Notes will be allowed only for daily Q&A and administrative emergencies. The retreat leader will announce the beginning and end of mauna.

This includes tablets, phones, laptops, MP3 players, etc. Exceptions may be made upon personal request and such exceptions need to be requested personally from the retreat leader and approved before mauna begins.

Although there may be a temptation to keep your phone with you for emergencies, we will provide you with an emergency contact for your family or business which may be called if anyone needs to reach you, thereby allowing you to relax fully into the retreat experience knowing that retreat administration will alert you if necessary to any issue needing your urgent attention.

All participants, either singles or couples, are asked to not engage intimately with anyone during the silent retreat (no physical interaction of any kind). The focus of the retreat has to be on deepening your meditation practice and interiorization of all the spiritual experiences.

Couples joining the retreat together will be placed in separate rooms for a deeper retreat experience for both people.

This includes – in addition to the use of electronic devices – books, magazines, and the like. To support your retreat experience, we will offer to collect any of these belongings for safe keeping and return them to you at the end of the retreat. Best, however, would be to leave them at home if possible.

Let this be an opportunity to completely unplug yourself and turn your focus inward.

No smoking, consumption of alcohol, or use of recreational drugs is allowed during the retreat.

Yes, absolutely. The knowledge and meditations techniques in the Trika retreat are taught in a clear and structured way that allows students of any background to benefit greatly from them. You will have no difficulty in understanding the meditation techniques. The only challenges you may encounter are those of your own mind.

There are indeed some items we recommend you bring with you. The exact list will be sent to all participants a couple of weeks prior to the beginning of the retreat.
