INSPIRATION
The brain loses it sensitivity and vitality through constant noise and chattering. The source of most of our problems in work, life and relationships is a noisy mind which mechanically lives and reacts from its past baggage. Habitual reactivity of the mind causes great mental and emotional suffering. Can the mind withdraw from its automatic reactions and pause? Can it be peaceful and quiet without force and control? Can the mind learn to have a deep rest and leisure? Can the mind stop struggling to become something all the time and rest in now? Can we enjoy the beauty of anonymity, nothingness and aloneness - which is not isolation? How inner silence can be a foundation for right action, relationship, deep intelligence and creativity? How silence is connected with inner freedom, joy, love and healing? This retreat is an invitation to uncover and awaken that timeless source of wisdom inside us through deep inner silence. We are going to explore existentially the great importance of inner silence in our daily living.

Testimonials
M. Ray, A Personal Coach in Switzerland:
"After attending a retreat with Mukesh at Riversong, Switzerland, I'm a lot more connected to joy and I feel that I begin my days with my heart open and that I embrace my life fully with trust."
Catherine Pfaehler, Bern, Switzerland:
"Spending gentle time with Mukesh at the Riversong Retreat Centre in Switzerland has been a deep gift and pleasure for my soul every time I had a chance for it. The slowing down, the practice of deep listening and seeing in a small group helps me to grow, to broaden my understanding on all levels and to relax into my heart. Thank you for allowing me to realize that this is all I need, for my entire life: Resting peacefully in the heart."
