Is this a Buddhist retreat, and will I need to follow a specific tradition?

Drala Mountain Center organizes its programs into categories, including Buddhist Path and Meditation & Mindfulness. This retreat's title suggests mindfulness practice, but the page doesn't say how much Buddhist content or ritual is included. Check the full event description or contact the center for the program's exact approach.

What other options does Drala offer if a fully silent retreat feels like too much?

Drala lists several alternatives. Retreat & Renewal runs on multiple dates. The free online Yin Yoga for Rest & Renewal series is another option. Hybrid weekend programs, such as Fully Being with Adam Kane, combine online and in-person participation. These are separate offerings and may suit you better if you want a less structured experience.

How do I register, and where do I find the cost and lodging details?

Register through the event listing, which links to Drala Mountain Center's registration. The page text provided doesn't include pricing, accommodation types, or meal arrangements. Those details should appear on the full retreat page, or you can ask Drala's office directly before booking.

Descrizione

The Heart of Mindfulness: A Silent Meditation Retreat is a silent meditation retreat at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. It is led by Janet Solyntjes and Gaylon Ferguson, and it is for anyone who wants to practice mindfulness meditation in an extended period of silence, in a mountain setting devoted to contemplative practice.

What to Expect

This is a silent retreat, so the days are held in quiet and given over to meditation. The retreat takes mindfulness as its subject, and the title points to its center: the heart of the practice, approached through sustained, undistracted time on the cushion. Janet Solyntjes and Gaylon Ferguson are named as the teachers for this retreat.

People who search for a silent meditation retreat in Colorado are often looking for a stretch of time long enough to settle, without conversation or the usual pull of daily obligations. This retreat is built around that kind of space.

The Setting

FAQ

The title identifies this as a silent meditation retreat, so expect extended periods of practice without conversation. The organizer's page excerpt doesn't spell out the exact silence rules, such as meals, check-in, or instructor interviews. Confirm those details with Drala Mountain Center before you register.

It takes place at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado, so it is an on-site retreat. Drala runs separate online and hybrid programs, and this listing isn't presented as one of them. The center's Great Stupa is used for some programs, but the page doesn't say whether this retreat meets there.

The page text doesn't list a prerequisite for this retreat. Drala does offer Foundations of Meditation I: Establishing the Ground and Foundations of Meditation II: Deepening the Path on multiple dates. These are a natural way to build a base before a silent retreat. Ask the center if you're unsure whether your experience is enough.

Yes. Drala hosts a free online series, the Drala Mountain Online Practice Series, which lets you experience the center's approach to practice from home. It's a low-commitment way to find out how you respond to guided meditation before spending days in silence.
