A silent retreat is different from a normal retreat, in that in silent retreats you neither speak, nor read between the satsangs. Enganging in language, or just simply speaking, is activating the thinking process like almost no other activity. In silence the mind comes to a rest and spiritual dimensions unfold, that are usually barely ever perceivable or not perceivable at all. Reports of the participants show the wonderful quality of Being, that is blossoming up from the depth of outer and inner silence. For more information please visit Shanti's Website
