Immersion in 12 Days of Silence and Darshan amidst the vibrant Indian spirituality

A retreat offers a spiritual rest or withdrawal from the usual surroundings. In no other country this is possible as intensely as in India, the country where every day life is deeply embedded in the spiritual fabric and where spirituality is present everywhere. It is also a journey to the spiritual roots of advaita vedanta. The special quality of this gathering, the meeting of East and West induces intense inner experience and reveals the essence of stillness. This meeting with the teacher is an encounter with love and death, tenderness and fire, humaneness and divinity, life and death. OM invites you to return to total simplicity and explore who you really are. Darshan will be held in German and English with translation into the respective language as required.

Darshan with OM C. Parkin

Darshan is the direct vision of the Divine, an invitation to listen awake and receptive to your heart. You will have the opportunity to share what moves you and to ask questions in Darshan with OM twice a day. OM’s answers will focus your attention on what is essential. They meet you where you are and lead you into the unknown of your true being. Trusting the complete simplicity and presence of yourself is the process into which you are taken.

Music-Darshan

A truely beautiful aspect of this Silent Love Retreat is the musical accompaniment to the Darshans. A powerful highlight will be the evening Music Darshan, which is dedicated to support the energetic processes of these days.
