Silent Love Retreat
Immersion in Darshan and 10 Days of Silence with OM C. Parkin
The Silent Love Retreat gives you the opportunity to be with a wisdom teacher. Through the methods of Inner Science, OM C. Parkin guides you to explore your mind and distinguish it from reality. He shows you the way to empty your mind, to immerse yourself in the heart, and to remain in silence and wakefulness. The questions that move you inwardly can be brought into Darshan, where you receive clear and direct answers that lead you deeper into closeness with yourself. In this way, truth can meet you and accompany you in the experience of falling into love – Silent Love. Remaining in silence during these ten days intensifies the withdrawal from the outer world and the turning inward. Focusing on what is essential happens quite naturally in the silence of Gut Saunstorf Monastery, supported by the presence of other seekers on the inner path.

They meet you where you are and lead you into the unknown of your true being. Trusting the complete simplicity and presence of yourself is the process into which you are taken.
