If you seek a safe and nurturing space to explore the sacred practice of Meditation, our silent meditation retreat in Nepal is made for you. Surrounded by untouched nature and the peaceful energy of the mountains, this retreat guides you into deep healing and self-discovery. Settle into stillness at our Meditation Center in Pokhara and experience deep bliss in silence.
True fulfillment comes from within. Regardless of your experience with Yoga or Meditation, we warmly invite you to discover a deeper, more meaningful way of living. Join our Conscious Community and explore the transformative power of silence through one of our mindfully designed retreats.
Discover a new rhythm of life through meditation, a powerful path to inner peace and contentment. By observing your thoughts and engaging in deep self-inquiry, you will learn to become a silent witness to your own mind. Escape to a space of peace and connectedness, with ten days of silence in a warmhearted community.
Spending two weeks in Mauna not only deepens your meditation practice but also opens the door to new horizons and possibilities. As you explore both foundational and advanced yogic techniques, you will cultivate a deep understanding of silence and its power to reshape your inner world.
Something truly transformative happens in a longer retreat. This intense journey strengthens the mind, deepens inner stillness, and fosters deep spiritual growth. If you seek a space of peace, a shared experience of silence, and a deeper connection to yourself and others, this retreat is for you.

This healing Silence Meditation Retreat in Pokhara is a holistic journey of renewal, offering you the space to find clarity in solitude and discover unexplored depths within yourself. It is an invitation to step into community living and gradually turn the mind inward, experiencing the true essence of inner silence – pure bliss in deep connection with the self.
The Sanskrit word ‘Mauna‘ translates to ‘Silence‘, yet it encompasses far more than the absence of words and sound. It is a state of mindful awareness, an inner stillness that shifts your focus inward, allowing you to dive into new realms of consciousness and experience the pure self. In this space of silence, you access the depths of your own being, beyond thought and distraction.
Committing to silence is the beginning of a transformative journey – one that not only uncovers your inner beliefs and thought patterns but also allows you to witness the beauty of pure awareness. As you embrace silence, you awaken to the deep wisdom that already exists within you, opening the door to true inner peace and self-realization.
