Heart Practices Inspired by the Tibetan Tradition

A Silent Retreat with Stephan Pende Wormland

4–8 August 2027
Tyresö, Sweden

This retreat is an invitation into silence, presence, and the simple warmth of the heart.

During these days, we will explore heart practices inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition—practices that help us soften, open, and come into more direct contact with ourselves and with life.

Again and again, we return from the noise of the mind to something quieter and more essential: a loving awareness that is already present. It is not something we need to manufacture, but something we can gradually learn to recognize and trust.

The retreat will include silent sitting meditation, guided heart practices, walking meditation, mindful movement, gentle contemplative inquiry, and time to rest deeply in stillness.

The emphasis is not on performance or achievement, but on simplicity, sincerity, and allowing the heart to open in its own way.

We will remain in silence throughout the retreat and abstain from social media, news, and messaging. This gives the mind time to settle—and the heart a little room to breathe.

This retreat is for those who long for silence, depth, and an atmosphere of genuine practice.

About the Teacher

Stephan Pende Wormland is a meditation teacher with decades of experience in Buddhist practice, mindfulness, and contemplative work.

He lived for many years as a Tibetan Buddhist monk and has spent long periods in retreat. His teaching is grounded, spacious, and experiential, with an emphasis on direct inner discovery rather than concepts alone.

He brings together the depth of the Tibetan tradition with a simple and human way of guiding meditation—one that speaks not only to the mind, but also to the heart.
