Loving Awareness – Silent Retreat

Heart Practices inspired by the Tibetan Tradition with Stephan Pende Wormland

5–9 August
Begins Wednesday, 5 August at 18.00 with dinner, you can arrive from 16.00 on.

Place: Fatbursbacken 8, 135 60 Tyresö, Sweden

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

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

Again and again, we return from the noise of the mind to something quieter and more essential. A loving awareness that is already here. Not something we need to create, but something we can learn to recognize and trust.

The retreat will include silent sitting meditation, guided heart practices, walking meditation, mindful movement, gentle contemplative inquiry, and space 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 keep silence throughout the retreat and abstain from social media, news, and messaging, so that the mind can gradually settle and the heart has space to breathe.

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