Discover the profound depth of silent walking meditation. Each step, taken with mindful awareness, becomes an opportunity for present moment connection and quiet observation, guided by the wisdom of Vipassana principles.
Embrace the unique calm that arises from moving in silence alongside others. As spoken words fall away, your senses awaken more fully to the richness of the natural environment and the subtle landscapes of your inner world.
Find your natural rhythm as you walk, allowing your mind to gently settle and your body to connect with the earth. This practice fosters a unique state of dynamic stillness, bringing both peace and energized presence."
Ellen provides gentle, insightful guidance to support your mindful walking practice. She helps you integrate Vipassana awareness into each step and navigate your inner experiences with compassion, wisdom, and understanding.
Learn to apply Vipassana (insight) meditation not just in seated stillness, but as a dynamic, embodied practice while you move. This cultivates a continuous flow of awareness and understanding in everyday life.
This unique blend of profound silence, meditative walking, deep nature immersion, and expert guidance creates a powerful space for lasting stress release, and uncovering your own clear path to inner peace and resilience.
Our Silent Walking Retreats are based in Local a tranquil vally nestled in the heart of breathtaking Spanish nature, offering an intimate and authentic experience for smaller groups.
Let the serene beauty of the mountains, the vibrant local flora, ancient olive groves, and expansive skies be your constant companions and gentle teachers on this journey of mindful exploration and self-discovery."
Experience the deeply restorative and grounding power of full immersion in this unspoiled natural landscape. Allow its inherent harmony and quiet majesty to support your inner work, soothe your spirit, and renew your energy.
Days will be started by yoga and meditation followed by a healthy breakfast. Our day walk in silence brings us to stunning places. When arriving back there is time for a break allowing space for resting, writing, reading or sharing. You can just tune in to what you feel like in the moment.
The program combines silence with connection and meditation with physical activity. A unique experience that will refresh your energy and help you bring mindfulness and awareness into your day to day life.
At the end of the afternoons there will be guided sharing circles in which Ellen will reflect on the events and theme of the day from a Buddhist philosophic perspective. Since we will be in a small group of maximum 6 participants Ellen can really tune into what is relevant for each participant and the group as a whole.
The evenings will have a program of meditation, sound healing, dancing or sitting by the camp fire.
In this retreat silence plays an important role but it is not a fully silent retreat. The program offers the possibility to combine silence with connection. During the walks we will be in silence, when we arrive back silence is optional allowing space for sharing about life’s experiences so that we can be of support to each other, inspire each other and just feel the power of human connection.
A small house situated in a quiet green valley without traffic, street lights or internet will be the base for our walks. Enjoy living in the middle of nature, wake up with the songs of the birds and go to bed with the stars in the sky. This unique place provides an enormous amount of peace.
It’s delightful to spend time in nature and fully enjoy the sunny Spanish climate.
You will sleep in a shared room (max 2 participants) Limited single rooms are available at extra cost.
The meals are freshly prepared with vegetarian ingredients.
This retreat is really for those who love the outdoors. Enjoy four days of hiking through the beautiful scenery in a small group guided by an experienced meditation teacher who loves and knows her surroundings very well.
Ellen will take you to the most beautiful places of Spanish nature. The landscape is diverse, as we walk through hills, forests, fields, and farms. We meditate under the trees, swim in crystal-clear water at a natural spring, and shower under the waterfall.
The combination of meditation, yoga, silent walking and sharing gives the opportunity for deep insights and powerful connections. The profound imprint of the retreat experience will help you to bring mindfulness and awareness into your day to day life, supporting you to live in a wise, happy and fulfilling way.
