From Silence into Stillness
Led by Simone Yeomans
You may have heard of or participated in a Silent Retreat at some point in your life. In this Retreat, we will take the experience of silence and expand it into stillness. If you are new to silence, to stillness and/or meditation, you will have the opportunity to participate in an hour long Guided Introduction to Stillness and Meditation session at the beginning of the retreat as well as a second one following lunch . Furthermore, Simone will be available to assist with any questions or processing experiences throughout the day.
Stillness has become one of the most sought-after experiences in our over-booked and busy lives. The healing effects of intentional stillness have been well documented beyond the experience of the students who practiced at our studio.
“True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.” Eckhart Tolle
“(Stillness) … isn’t about turning your back on the world; it’s about stepping away … so that you can see the world more clearly and love it more deeply.” Pico Iyer
Simone Yeomans, PhD, MS, LMFT has practiced Meditative Stillness since early childhood for more than 50 years before opening her SY-Your Stillness studio. She has studied and practiced Jungian and Depth Psychology for more than 20 years and draws from a wealth of expertise about the map of both the conscious and the subconscious minds through her practice as a psychotherapist, through her extensive study of world literature, her close work with healers across the world and across different traditions, and last but not least through her own intentional healing journey.
