Calm and Clear – silent meditation retreat
8 days in silence, for a profound experience of meditation
Awaken Your Mind: A Transformative Meditation Retreat
Step away from everyday life for eight days and experience something rare—a deep immersion into meditation in a place steeped in beauty and wisdom.
The meditation taught by the Buddha is far more than a tool to calm the mind. It is a path of awakening, a way to open your heart and rediscover the natural clarity of your spirit.
You will learn to settle into stillness: to meditate sitting on a cushion or chair, or while walking, to connect with your breath, your body, your presence.
Silence, introduced on the second day, will be observed until the seventh day of the retreat, creating a space of calm and introspection.
During this time, optional personal interviews with the instructors can provide support, clarity and guidance (in English, French and Spanish).
Each day we will experience seven hours of sitting and walking meditation. Gentle physical exercises will help to balance the practice and there will be free time to relax and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of Lerab Ling.
Organised in English and French, with Spanish translation, this retreat is open to all. However, as we will quickly enter into silence after little instruction, we recommend this retreat to people who have already received instruction on meditation and have begun to practise it, even if only occasionally.
The retreat is facilitated simultaneously in French and English by bilingual teachers.
🌞 Breathe the fresh air. Listen to the silence. Let nature be your teacher.
Please note: Although the proposed practices are intended for everyone, they are contraindicated in certain cases, particularly for people suffering from mental health problems. In case of doubt, a discussion with your doctor or therapist or an exchange with one of the retreat instructors will be needed to validate your participation in this retreat. Please send an email to lerabling.events.contact@rigpa.org.
Come and treat yourself to this time.
Breathe.
Find yourself again.
