In our noisy busy world, most of us are often left with no place to restore ourselves. We need renewal. A silent retreat is the experience of peace and quiet as a special healing atmosphere, a unique refuge. The powerful embrace that happens in a silent retreat gives energy for our light to brighten and, yes, reawaken joy within us!

Our experience will include designated spaces for silent reflection, a silent organic vegetarian lunch, incredible meditations and prayers, mandala coloring, labyrinth walking, and more -- all in a stress-free, and supportive environment.  All activities are optional, and relaxation guaranteed.

Step out of your busy life and rest and relax at the beautiful Great Mahakala Retreat Center that provides an oasis of peace and calm within Downtown Miami.

The day will be led by Rev. Pam Gutierrez and Dr. Noelle Nielsen
