Silence Retreat in Vanderbilt

Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat is holding a silence retreat—Be Still and Know: Practices in Silence and Discernment—from August 20 through 27. This retreat is open to all sincere truth-seekers as a donation-based opportunity to experience and imbibe in the sacred Silence within. All participants are expected to observe and respect silence as they are guided during the full retreat. Song of the Morning is a safe space, a place of kindness, and all participants commit to do their part to maintain this at all times.

The retreat is guided by Swami Sankarananda in accordance with the holistic Sivananda Yoga Vedanta tradition. The program is specifically developed to aid participants in their evolution from fear to fearlessness, from discord to harmony and from pieces to peace through silence, meditation, chanting, yoga asana and introspection.

Song of the Morning, a nonprofit yoga retreat center located on 800 acres of woodlands, welcomes truth-seekers from all paths and traditions to experience spiritual refreshment and relaxation. It was founded in 1970 by Yogacharya Oliver Black, based on the teachings of his guru, Paramahansa.

Location: 9607 E. Sturgeon Valley Rd., Vanderbilt. Meals and lodging are available. For registration and more information, call 989-983-4107 or visit SongOfTheMorning.secure.retreat.guru/program/2021-be-still-and-know-practices-in-silence-and-discernment.
