In Yoga, silence is referred to as Mauna. A practice in and of itself, it is the conscious decision to abide in this silence, to awaken the inner quietude and expand into the gifts of its embrace. Our “Silence Speaks” Immersion is an invitation to explore and experience the practices and teachings of the Yogis that open the doorway, the Dvādaśānta, to rediscovering the pathway to deepest silence once again – offering you the keys for allowing the intelligence of this stillness into your daily life, not as an escape from the world but to become more vitally present within it.

Each technique we move through leans into the unfoldment of ever-greater presence to the silence – the golden void of the Śūnya – that remains yours beyond the Śāla and empowers a heartfelt commitment to bringing this sacred practice to life each day. The chanting of mantra opens the first doorway of insight and creates a resonant vibratory wave of Spanda that carries us into a dharma talk on the teachings of silence and the yearning to live a life enveloped in the richness of presence rather than lost among the emptiness of noise. The Āsana component of this Immersion will be a Yin practice to gently guide you further into the abundant depths of silence, along with Prāṇāyāma techniques, a guided Śavāsana, Meditation and contemplative journaling.
