Silent Retreat
A non-residential retreat of structured silence, meditation and disciplined self-observation. Three days (IDR 6,000,000), or the extended five-day retreat in December (IDR 10,000,000). Designed to reset attention and deepen inner clarity.
This Is Not Just a Silent Retreat
Most silent retreats are presented as a way to relax, reset, or step away from the noise of everyday life.
This is something different.
At Samyama, silence is not the goal. It is the environment that allows you to begin observing what is usually hidden beneath constant distraction.
As external stimulation falls away, the activity of the mind becomes more visible. Thoughts, emotions, patterns and memories that are often pushed aside can begin to surface. This is not something to avoid; it is the starting point of the work.
Through a structured process of meditation, guided teaching, and self-inquiry, you are supported to sit with what arises, observe it without reaction, and begin to understand the deeper patterns shaping your experience.
This retreat is rooted in an Eastern tradition of self-inquiry, where the central question is simple, but profound:
Who am I, beneath thought, identity, and habit?
You are not asked to believe anything. You are invited to look directly.
