SUMMARY:Peace\, the Fruit of Silence: A Residential Silence Retreat in Italy
DESCRIPTION:A Residential Silence Retreat with the teachers of the Himalayan Yoga Institute of Florence\, Oasi Divin Maestro\, Camaldoli\, Italy. \nThe healing power of Silence\, in action\, word and thought\, gives us a deeper understanding of ourselves. Diving into Silence leads us to witness\, with deeper awareness\, the nature of our mind\, allowing it to calm down and turn inward. The proposed practices (hatha yoga\, pranayama\, relaxation\, meditation\, contemplative walking\, etc.) will help us to dive deeper towards the centre of silence\, immersed in the location of Camaldoli’s forest. \n“However\, it is not Silence if you are silent because you happen to be alone!\nSilence is silence when you have the intention\, make the sankalpa\, to keep a spiritual silence and then your mind is filled with spiritual contemplation and mantra\, whether sitting\, eating\, bathing\, lying down or running”. Swami Veda Bharati. \nFor more information\, you may contact the Himalayan Yoga Institute of Florence directly at segreteria@himalayanyogainstitute.it or follow them on Facebook and Instagram. You may also visit their website.

SUMMARY:Shakti – the Subtle Force of the Divine Feminine - Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As part of the initiatives dedicated to the celebration of the centenary of Swami Rama’s birthday\, the Himalayan Yoga Institute of Florence organizes an online workshop with Rabindra Sahu dedicated to the sacred theme of the “Divine Feminine”\, in Nature and in the entire Universe around us. \nSwami Rama often said that without shakti\, without the feminine Power\, it is not possible for humankind to survive. \nRegardless of gender\, the Divine Feminine is a welcoming\, nurturing\, and transformative force of kindness\, compassion\, and love that each of us should learn to cultivate within. \nSwami Veda Bharati said: “[…] What is important is cultivating the qualities of the hidden essences within yourself and cultivating them without fear. […]” (Cultivating the Feminine in the Male) \n“[…] Be not hard like a rock. Be strong like water that grinds down the hardest rock into grains of sand. Learn the way of water that is woman. […]” ( unpublished sayings  by Swami Veda Bharati). \nThis workshop will be a precious opportunity to contemplate and rediscover a non-physical force – the strength and power of shakti – that resides within each of us\, which will help us become more balanced people and build a kinder society. \nRabindra Sahu\, trained in the Himalayan Yoga and Meditation Tradition\, serves as General Manager at the Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) ashram in Rishikesh\, where he teaches and leads the Gurukulam. A student of Swami Veda Bharati\, Rabindra emphasizes the importance of understanding the teachings through direct experience. \nRegistration required. \nFor more information\, kindly write to segreteria@himalayanyogainstitute.it

SUMMARY:Mantra and Meditation: An International Residential Retreat\, Camaldoli\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:“Mantra is a means\, meditation is a method…” \n“…mantra and meditation are inseparable just like two sides of the same coin.” – Swami Rama \nSwami Veda Bharati has repeatedly emphasised the importance of a solid and stable meditation foundation in order to allow our personal practice to progress towards subtler levels. \nDuring this retreat\, the expert guidance of Swami Ritavan Bharati will introduce us to the importance of the mantra in the meditative practice and will accompany us in refining\, fine tuning and deepening the use of the mantra\, to progress to more profound and subtler levels. \nThe retreat is recommended to both\, beginners and experienced practitioners\, and will be held from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 May 2025\, at L’Oasi del Divin Maestro\, Camaldoli\, Italy. \n“The mantra is a powerpack contained within itself\, and\, like an atom\, is a whole vibrant universe”. Swami Veda Bharati \nFor more information\, you may contact the Himalayan Yoga Institute of Florence directly at segreteria@himalayanyogainstitute.it or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
