3-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat in Belgium

Come to Akasha Retreat Center in the peaceful countryside of Belgium to join a 3-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat taught in English. Here, you can dive deep into the teachings of the Spiritual Heart in an intimate and special retreat center.

We’re blessed to be able to live in a small old nun monastery that used to be part of the property of the castle of Hex, which is next door. One can still feel the sacredness and silence created by devotion and prayer inside the building. At the same time, we’re creating a cozy family atmosphere for anyone to feel at home. The place awakens in many a feeling of peace and calm and is a nurturing ground to reconnect with the Self and nature.

Akasha is located in the idyllic area of Haspengouw in Belgium, near the German and Dutch border. Only one hour away from the cities Brussels and Antwerp, half an hour away from Liege, near the ancient town of Tongeren, there is this little ‘castle village’ called Heks (which means ‘witch’ in Dutch), where Akasha is settled. The area is known for its spring blossoms and fruit trees and its rich prehistoric, Roman, and medieval history. Many archeological sites, castles, and old monasteries tell of its ancient stories.

Our humble center will provide everything you need to experience a 3-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat: the same teachings, structure, schedule, devotion, and love you may find in any Hridaya Center. Our temple room can accommodate 14 students, creating a sense of stillness and intimacy ideal for thoroughly inquiring into the question, “Who am I?”

We’ll also provide the opportunity to hold an integration day. Once the retreat is over and mauna, or “noble silence,” is dissolved, you can remain in Akasha for one more day to smoothly transition to your daily routine. There will be space for practice and meditation, micro-practices to incorporate into daily activities, space for yourself, and a yoga of sound practice. You will also receive practical tips on deepening spiritual practice in daily life.
