HRIDAYA RETREAT
The Hridaya Retreat, the Retreat for the Revelation of The Spiritual Heart is a unique 10-day meditative experience. It focuses on accessing our real and essential nature,
the Spiritual Heart, the supreme and divine Self, atman, through an artful integration of meditation and yoga techniques.
During Hridaya Retreat, we address broad aspects of the Spiritual Heart, from a variety of contemplative traditions. The participants will center in the Spiritual Heart and
will explore the many and deeper aspects of Love and its true relationship to Spirituality. This method is an integration of Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, Christian esoteric,
Tantra, Kashmir Shaivism and Dzogchen. The atmosphere will be one of love, inner peace and strong spiritual support.
The Hridaya Retreat is a spiritual retreat, created specifically to understand, in an intimate way, what meditation is and to feel the profound inner transformations, which it brings.
This retreat includes:
- Yogic methods for exploring the Spiritual Heart
- Methods of awakening the Sacred Tremor of the Heart, (spanda)
- Techniques of stilling the mind using breath awareness
- Guided meditations
- Hatha Yoga sessions (The basic attitudes integrated in the Hatha yoga session include:
The awareness of the present moment, the centering into the Heart,
the Naturalness (sahaja), the Open Attention, the Witness Consciousness, the Love, the Sacred Tremor, the Sublimation, the Surrender, the Oneness Consciousness.)
- Methods of Self-centering to be used in everyday life
- Poetry
The retreat for the Revelation of the Spiritual Heart creates the conditions of solitude, intimacy and peace in which advaita, the consciousness of Unity, is revealed.

Please find here some of their heartfelt impressions which may give you an objective perspective regarding the Hridaya Yoga Retreat.
YOGA OF THE SPIRITUAL HEART
In our times, the connection between our superior intuitive
intelligence and the Heart has mostly been forgotten. Even if
we generally accept the idea of the existence of a Spiritual Heart,
we tend to take it more symbolic.
The Yoga of the Spiritual Heart and the Retreat for the Revelation of
the Spiritual Heart start from the premise that traditional ideas about
the Spiritual Heart can and should be applied in a very concrete and
practical way. The Heart, seen as an organ of direct knowledge can
and should be trained constantly in order to increase its purity, capacity
to Love, to Witness, to Surrender.
In this way, the limits of individuality soften and fades away, and through the recognition of its fundamental attribute, as a gate toward infinity, the Supreme Self, atman, is revealed.
HRIDAYA - THE SPIRITUAL HEART
Hridaya, the Spiritual Heart is our essential and ultimate nature;
the ineffable dimension of our being. It is another name for the
Supreme Self, atman, as is named in yogic tradition. The Spiritual Heart is the supreme consciousness, the ultimate Subject of
Knowledge, the pure I. It is the witness consciousness, that intimate
observer of all our thoughts, mind, emotions, sensations, of the
whole inner and outer universe.
