A few years ago Celeste Neelen took a group of people to the Sinai peninsular, to experience the desert in silence. She is now organizing Silence Retreats at Limnisa.
We start the day by waking up our bodies and minds through physical exercises and meditation. After a delicious breakfast on one of the garden terraces we hold morning sessions with body work, dancing, energy work, reflection and meditation. After a freshly made lunch you are free to spend the afternoon quietly as you wish - writing, swimming, walking of enjoying the nature around you. Each day concludes with a meditation session. After the first introductory evening we will be quiet for four days, with short periods set aside when you will the chance to share your experiences, either in the group or in a private consultation.
When the four days are up participants are welcome to either 'surface again' or stay quiet for the last few days. Everyone will be asked to contribute an hour of practical work each day - our 'meditation behind the sink'. This can help keep you grounded!
This silent retreat is designed for anyone feeling a need for inner peace and renewal, or seeking to reconsider some aspect of life or work. It is not necessary to have any previous experience with meditation to take part.
Property amenities:
Limnisa Centre offers single and shared accommodation. The rooms are simple and stylish with a beautiful view over the Aegean to the islands of Angristri and Aegina. You can walk straight from your room, down through the garden and into the sea! If you choose to stay in a tent in the garden, right next to the sea, we can offer a 100 euro discount.
Nearby attractions and activities:
From here you can see the Saronic Gulf spread out all around; with five Islands including Aegina and Angistri, and the mountains of the Eastern Peloponnese with Epidavros nestling in their foothills.
A walk of 30 minutes along the picturesque road in the other direction takes you to Ag. Nikolaos, another small coastal village with tavernas on the sea front, and also a hot sulphur bath described by Pausanius nearly two thousand years ago. Or you can take a walk up the old mule paths above the centre, through a landscape of stone terraced slopes and old olive groves with views back down to the sea and out across to the islands.
Location:
Limnisa is on a little headland 20 meters from the beach.
Packages:
The programs are put together with extreme care by Celeste Neelen. Celeste combines her own professional experience and knowledge as a consultant and psychologist with a gift for personal warmth that helps her connect with people. In combination with the silence and the beautiful, supporting surroundings of Limnisa we hope you will be inspired to take a fresh look at your life and gain new insight and knowledge. This can provide new energy for making future decisions.
