7-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat in Romania
Simona Trandafir, Liviu Gheorghe and Sebastian Teodor
July 1 - 10, 2022
We invite you to join us at the beginning of summer to dedicate a week to revealing the essence of our being, called atman, or the Spiritual Heart. In this retreat, we will present the vision and fundamental principles of the Hridaya Yoga system and provide practical methods (postural techniques, breathing techniques, concentration, and meditation) to create inner conditions conducive to exploring the deep dimension of Self-consciousness. In the last 3 days (July 7-9), all participants will observe noble silence, mauna, for interiorization, deeper meditations, and introspection. Those who aspire to keep mauna longer will receive our full support.
More than theoretical learning or the perfection of the techniques, we will emphasize the awakening of the sacred trembling of the Heart, the openness to what is beautiful, uplifting, and sacred—aspects that we will also find in our own being. These will be assimilated by integrating attitudes and ways to facilitate centering in the Heart, reassuring the mind, and awakening the Witness Consciousness.
We will also enjoy the communion of the soul in a group of people oriented toward Self-knowledge through introspection. There will be time for questions and answers, for the contemplation of nature, for being with ourselves. We will go on excursions together to untouched places full of beneficial energy.
The retreat will include meditations, Hatha Yoga sessions, guidance and recommendations for spiritual practice, and lectures (satsangs) on spiritual topics necessary for the revelation of the Self.
On Friday, July 1, at 7:00 pm, the retreat will open with an introductory lecture that will include the essential principles of Hridaya Yoga and the practice of meditation. The closing will be on Sunday, July 10, at 4:00 pm, with the sharing of experiences and discussions based on the topics presented.
Kamala Meditation and Yoga Center is located next to the Lempeș Hill Nature Reserve, which can be reached in 2 minutes. The forest and the whole ambiance of the place are very favorable for meditation, contemplation, and joy.
Accommodation is in rooms for 1 or 2 people, and the food will be lacto-ovo-vegetarian. No consumption of meat, alcohol, tobacco, or coffee is allowed at the center. We can cook separately for vegans, if requested upon booking. Meals include breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The first meal is dinner on July 1; the last meal is lunch on July 10.

May the Sacred Tremor of the Heart enlighten our lives!
