Yin Therapy Silent Meditation Retreat VI - Seminarhaus Pegasus, North Germany
(in German)

Welcome to Yin Therapy's Silent Meditation Retreat VI

This 9 day / 60-hour silent meditation retreat comprises 3 sections:

1. Meditation Practice

Over the course of this silent retreat, we will be practicing various Buddhist meditations for 6 hours daily:

• Shamatha
  - quiet, peaceful

• Vipassana
  - insight into the three characteristics of existence

• Metta
  - loving kindness

• Walking meditation

• Zen sitting meditation

• Zen eating meditation

• Heart meditation

• Contemplation

• Mindfulness practice

2. Silence

Silence refers to a perceived silence, the absence of any noise and also immobility. Our body, mind and soul always need a break from the noise of everyday life, the demands, the conversations, the media and the stress. Silence means relaxation for the body and mind. Silence reduces stress hormones and allows us to regenerate. Silence allows for self-reflection. Silence means, instead of the constant noise, listening to the essential. We will walk, stand, sit and lie in silence. We will reflect in silence. We will meditate in silence. We will quietly welcome and let the pleasant as well as the unpleasant, as part of our lives, pass by. We will dive deeper and deeper into ourselves in silence.

3. Yin Yoga Asana Practice

At the end of each day we will conclude with a gentle Yin Yoga asana class.
 

ATTENTION - RETREAT
A retreat in the classical sense means a retreat from one's familiar surroundings in order to devote oneself to one's spiritual practice. In doing so, we are withdrawing from all digital media for this time and will also avoid printed media. In addition, there will be 7 days of silence during the Yin Therapy Retreat, during which we will retreat even further and look deeper inwards.

This withdrawal, from the distraction of the outside and the concentrated attention to one's own person, is intense and not always easy. Here, topics of everyday life can come to the fore, deep traumas, but also old samskaras from past lives. Often you see yourself in the mirror for the first time in years without make-up. Therefore, you should be sure that you will go into this course mentally and physically stable.

This course is practice-oriented and is intended to enable the yoga teacher to contemplate long periods of contemplation. This retreat should not be confused with a wellness holiday!

This retreat is a deepening of one's own yoga practice, something that a teacher training usually cannot offer and the natural next step of a yoga teacher.

From this deep personal experience through retreats grows a power and the ability to impart meditation.

Students must have completed our YYTT I courses to be eligible to participate in this Silent Meditation Retreat course.

On successful completion and 100% attendance of this training, students will be awarded a Yoga Alliance 60 hour certificate which can be counted towards Continuing Education hours with Yoga Alliance for registered teachers.
