# Event Details - **Event Name**: Silent Meditation Retreat - December - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 12 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm – Sun, 14 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Welcome to our Silent Meditation Weekend Retreat! Färjås is located between the nature reserves Vallda Sandö and Hördalen, secluded along the mountain with the forest behind us and a view over coastal meadows and the sea. Färjås Yogaretreat has offered silent meditation retreats since 2013. In many ways these retreats are the essence of what we are: - Authentic teachings and experiences - more than twenty five years of teaching yoga, tantra and meditation. Balancing theory and practice from Shaiva Tantra, Nordic Stav and Zhuwang Dao. - Natural health and regeneration - silence, sauna, cold baths, warm fires, regenerative farming, seasonal vegetarian cooking and tea ceremonies - Personal connection - individual preparatory talks and optional follow ups aiming to meet and support you where you are SILENCE Many spiritual traditions favor periods of silence as an efficient method for calming the mind and hearing the voice of our heart. Periodic silence (mauna) works as a "fasting for the mind" and over time helps to reduce the idle chattering of the lower mind (manas). Detoxing the mind offers increased peace, creativity and inner freedom. We use words to define ourselves and the world in fixed concepts and roles. Letting go of speaking opens to the magic of an essential, non conceptual and undifferentiated presence! During the retreat we leave aside talking, phones, mirrors and social interaction. Pen and paper suffice to ask any practical questions to the organizing team. Your essential questions arising from the meditations can be written down to be answered during the program. MEDITATION Meditation is the core of numerous authentic spiritual paths. It can be approached as an art, a science or a mystery. Meditation may be the most enigmatic and challenging of human endeavors. All things worth learning are difficult, and mastering meditation takes time and patience. There are many forms of meditation. A fundamental distinction is the one between dual and non-dual meditation. In dual meditation a subject meditates in on an object, while in non-dual meditation subject and object merge as one. The silent meditation retreats at Färjås Yogaretreat aims for the second based on traditional practices from Shaiva Tantra, Nordic Stav and Zuwang Dao. YOGA The yoga sessions aim to strengthen and relax your body in between the longer meditations. Hatha yoga positions (asanas) are interlinked with warming up and deep relaxation. The program also offers deep yogic relaxation (yoganidra) for rejuvenation and deepening the effects of meditation. THEORY Shorter theory sessions offer the basics of meditation and methods to overcome practical challenges. Deepened perspectives on the self (atman) and the non-dual. Your written questions will be answered during these sessions.
