This retreat takes place at the idyllically situated Allgäu seminar house between Memmingen and Lindau. Two German Satsangs per day, yoga, meditation. (Google Maps)

The satsangs of the retreat take place in the cozy seminar room of the house. The house itself is embedded in beautiful nature, with sitting areas, cozy places all around and a small creek flowing through the premises.

Silence in the Retreat

A retreat is a valuable and rare opportunity to turn your attention entirely to yourself. I encourage you to use the time of the retreat as a real retreat. You could leave the computer at home, tell your loved ones that you won't be available during this time, and turn off your cell phone...

If you feel like it, you can stay in silence during the retreat time, refrain from talking and experience what it is like to become truly silent. There will be silence pins for those who want to signal to other people that they are not approachable, and there will be a silence table in the dining hall. Not speaking for several days is a wonderful, intense and transformative experience and I am happy to guide you through your silent time in Satsang.

However, this is not a silent retreat. It is your choice how you spend this time, and you can play with it just as you like – and if you like, you can play it differently and anew every day. A retreat is not a serious matter 🙃.

There will also be people in the retreat who like to talk and share, and you may be surrounded by lively people at mealtimes. This is an opportunity for you learn this new dance: to keep your attention within, with you, even while being surrounded by people and dealing and talking with them – just like in "real life".

Recordings

The retreat time is a protected time, and everything that is shared there remains between us. Every Satsang of the retreat is recorded in audio and video. However, the audio and video recordings from the retreat will not be published, but will be made available shortly after the end of the retreat in a protected area of my website for you and the other participants only, so that you can watch and relive all the Satsangs of the retreat as often as you like.

Access to the retreat recordings is included in the retreat price.

English Retreats

Currently, all of my retreats are German-language events, and there are no English retreats scheduled as of now. However, I am more than happy to schedule English retreats as soon as there is enough demand for it ❤️. Please write to retreat@dhyanmikael.com to express your interest, and I will keep you posted.

Meditation during the Retreat

I talk about Samarpan Meditation in one way or another in almost every Satsang and video. If you already know it, you will have the opportunity to meditate together in the group every evening during the retreat, in addition to your morning meditation.

As a newcomer, you can get to know this wonderful meditation during the retreat and try it out if you like. On Monday evening, there will be the opportunity to take part in a German online introduction to Samarpan meditation, which will be conducted by Samarpan Meditation Germany. You can also take part in this online introduction prior to the retreat on any Monday evening from 18:45 - 19:30. It is free of charge and great fun.
For English speaking participants, we will play an English introduction video on Monday evening, and I will answer questions afterwards.

Samarpan Meditation was brought to society by Satguru Shivkrupanand Swamiji from the Himalayas and is therefore also called Himalayan Samarpan Meditation. It has nothing to do with me personally – I am simply a meditator, just like you, and I share my experiences and insights from meditation.

Yoga during the Retreat

Yoga is a wonderful complement and preparation for meditation, because in yoga, you practise on a physical level what meditation is about on a spiritual level: relaxing into what is.

We are lucky to have Simone Maria, a sensitive yoga teacher, at the retreat, and if you like, you can start the day with yoga under her guidance. You can decide spontaneously each morning whether you feel like yoga or not. Yoga sessions are paid separately with Simone Maria.

Swamiji recommends starting each day with physical exercises after meditation. Here is your opportunity!

In Retreat with Dhyan Mikael

Retreat is an opportunity for you to go on a journey of discovery towards the inside – an "inside" that has nothing to do with your body and feelings, thoughts and desires. The more silent and desireless you become inside, the more you become acquainted with what Swamiji calls the soul.

I have been traveling with my spiritual master Soham for over 20 years, and since 2017 I have been a disciple of the Indian Satguru Shivkrupanand Swamiji, who brings Samarpan Meditation from the Himalayas to society. He says: "I make your Soul your Guru." Through him and through meditation, I experience this in my own life.

When we sit together in Satsang during the retreat, you yourself get a taste of this unknown "inside" of you. It is like remembering something that you have known for a long time and have merely forgotten. And the more this grows, the more your life changes for the better, miraculously, as if by itself.

I invite you to set out on the path to discover your true self, and thus, Heaven. If I can do it, then you can too...

Never miss a Satsang or Retreat again!
