We are delighted to welcome Bob Stahl for an evening where he will talk about the importance of silent retreats in the journey of mindfulness practitioners.

Contrary to what we might imagine, a retreat is not reserved for experienced meditators and can be beneficial regardless of how long we have been practicing.

A residential seminar invites us to step out of the daily flow and immerse ourselves in intensive practice, benefiting from prolonged silence and a supportive environment. How does this context change things for those who already practice meditation regularly in their daily lives?

During this evening, we will explore what a silent retreat is, how it works in practice, its transformative power, and also the fears that are most commonly encountered. We will also discuss how a retreat deepens the qualities that underlie all mindfulness-based programs.

This evening is open to everyone, whether you have already participated in a retreat, are considering this experience for the first time, or are simply curious!

It is designed as a space for sharing and inspiration, which will unfold in three stages: a presentation on the theme, a guided practice, and a time for discussion.

Bob Stahl has implemented the MBSR program in seven medical centers in the San Francisco area and currently teaches it in two hospitals. He was a long-time MBSR instructor trainer at the Oasis Institute, the professional training center of the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts, where the MBSR program was created. He is co-author of five books, including, “MBSR Everyday”, “Living With Your Heart Wide Open”, “Calming The Rush Of Panic”. He is also a regular teacher at the Insight Center in Santa Cruz and an occasional teacher at Spirit Rock in California and at the Mindfulness and Health Institute. Recognized worldwide, he leads retreats and seminars on every continent.
