Silence is Golden - Silent Midweek Retreat | 10 - 12 July

$32.00

The world is a noisy place. There’s outer noise - talking, traffic, TV, social media; and inner noise - distractions, to-do lists and nagging thoughts. Silent retreats aim to quieten this noise so you can reset and recharge.

On a silent retreat, you can enjoy a digital detox, find beauty in your surroundings, and stay connected to your meditative experience. Our beautiful temple in the Dandenong Ranges is the perfect place for you to take a break from the noisy world and emerge better equipped to handle its stresses and stimulations.

The centre is surrounded by natural beauty and spectacular views, and our retreats are fully catered for with delicious vegetarian meals.

Teacher.

 

The teacher of this retreat is Maria Mylonas. Maria is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher of the New Kadampa Tradition, effortlessly blending her natural confidence and clear teaching style to make Buddha's wisdom accessible to all.
