Retreat: August 01-12, 2023

I'm still in the process of assimilating what this retreat has done for me. It was 10 days of the most challenging and transformative inner journey I've ever experienced. From the first day to the last, I felt like I was going through the most varied experiences. Silence provokes and everything comes to the surface. The body reveals the suffering stored up through restlessness. Until the mind quiets down, it brings all the memories into context and for a few moments you think about giving up, feeling incapable of dealing with the discomforts that arise.

What happens, however, after the retreat, is a state of grace and bliss that I dare not put into words, I only say that EVERYONE needs and deserves to live this experience. It is a true Divine Romance.

It's an experience worth living, full of ups and downs, many confrontations, but with a wonderful result of love and gratitude. The monks organize everything with great care and attention, nothing to complain about, only to thank.

Retreat: retreat from october 31 to november 11, 2022

This retreat has such a subtle and potent force that it scares (at first), puts us in contact with all our chains of fear, illusions, greed, lust... and makes us face them and make a decision. It is a retreat that goes beyond what one imagines, that makes us choose, face and realize that silence is much more than silence and how much we deceive ourselves with words, desires and illusions.

The space is incredible, beautiful, I felt in the middle of the forest, an exuberant beauty that each time presented me with something new, rain, sun, moon, several birds, various scents and sounds... a pure, light, subtle energy.

The residents within their seriousness, always showing welcome and pleasure to serve.

The seriousness and rigidity of the space/people made all the difference to my surrender.

The videos and daily talks have a perfect didactic. I loved all the process, thank you for every detail.

I am grateful and happy for this opportunity.

Namaskar to all Beings of Light at the Ashram City of Angels.

It's difficult to put into words this profound and searching experience. I came to the retreat in search of this Inner Freedom of the Self, to find myself, align my purposes, steady my mind and polish all the mundane aspects within me. Experiencing these 10 days of silence was more challenging than I had imagined, everything became intense, and as time went by, everything quietened down, the calm came closer, the light enveloped me and peace settled in, thus emerging a connection of the heart to the Divine. I didn't set any expectations before I came, I arrived with only my intentions and today I'm returning to "the world", with more, with much more than my intentions, I'm returning HOME.

It's a retreat that should be obligatory for all people to do instead of going on vacation and traveling around the world, they should first go back inside, internalize themselves.
The place is incredible, so peaceful and humble. The residents are serene and Light, welcoming, advising and transmitting love. Five-star food and accommodation, or rather, the whole sky.

I'm grateful for all the knowledge I've received through the experience and for the Satsanga, which brings all the Light on the Path.

I'm leaving today and will definitely be back tomorrow.
Thank you
OM Shanti
