As we respectfully move into complete silence and meditation, knowing the rules of the retreat is simple:
Mobile phones turned off ( You could still take photos or video)
You can laugh, cry, sneeze, cough, all natural things and vow to make a real effort not to break the silence. We are bonded together by this sacred vipasana practice, together with hearts full of kindness we immerse in the space of peace.
Respect others in this judgment-free zone. Everyone’s on their own individual journey. Some people may have to break the silence, and that’s ok. Focus on your journey, in this present moment... OM, chanti, chanti, AUM.
​
About bringing books... please ask yourself this question:
why would you choose to read? Would the book offer answers that you’re seeking, or would it just be a distraction from your thoughts?
