Summer of Sound: Observing Silence

Magdalena and Siri Manprem are returning to Sant Honorat Monastery for their third annual SUMMER OF SOUND retreat series.

‘Observing Sound’ and ‘Observing Silence’ are complete, stand-alone experiences or may be taken together.

‘Observing Silence’

Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Retreat

Thursday 29th May – Sunday 1st June 2025 at 14th century Monastery in the heart of Mallorca

In ‘Observing Silence’ we will use Kundalini Yoga kriyas that gently unlock the heart center so that you can feel and radiate universal love effortlessly.

The practices will be supported by mantra ‘Guru, Guru, Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru’. This particular chant invokes qualities of humility, compassion and protective grace. It is very relaxing and will support you in a process of emotional relief that ultimately leads to self-healing.

The more active parts of our daily practice will bring you to the point of stillness where your full attention can be focussed on the sound pattern. Following the sound pattern will naturally cause you to let go of your attachments.

To vibrate any mantra perfectly, it requires a combination of Shakti and Bhakti. Shakti is the power of precision and discipline. It is the pure energy which enforces a specific result. Bhakti is the feeling of surrender and devotion; it is the devoted dedication which provides the energy to complete everything.

‘Guru, Guru, Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru’ projects the mind to the Infinite and then brings finite guidance on a practical level.

Our last full day together will be spent without speaking. Such beautiful opportunity to integrate all the intuitive guidance received during our sessions.

Gentle freeing of the heart, quieting of the mind and a natural quality of Monastery’s deep silence will invite an organic unfolding of your blessings, big and small.

PLACE:

The Sant Honorat Monastery is an established place of worship, a sacred site. By stepping outside of your ordinary surroundings and into its charged field, you'll create a portal of deep inner transformation.

To truly immerse ourselves in this soulful experience, we will live and practice in the 14th century hermitage situated in the mystical mountains of Cura on the island of Mallorca. Sant Honorat is surrounded by peace and silence, it's a true hidden gem even though it's located only a 30min drive from the Palma airport.

The place holds a very unique vibration of deep silence and serenity. Upon entering this sacred site you'll immediately feel more grounded, calm and at peace.

We encourage you to spend some alone time in all three beautiful chapels and nature/view spots surrounding the vast grounds of the Monastery. The energy is very supportive of inviting your most authentic inner prayer and spiritual connection.

The congregation and community living at Sant Honorat value simplicity, modesty and humility as an overall way of life. During our retreat we will honour those principles and focus on deep inner work, silent contemplation and harmonious community living.

We’ll be honouring the invitation of the Sant Honorat team to participate in community living by contributing to setting the dining room tables, chopping vegetables, serving food, helping with washing up the dishes and clearing the dining room area. Padre Miquel- our dear friend and head of Sant Honorat encourages us to feel at home in the Monastery.

During our previous stays there, he said to our group that it’s important we understand Sant Honorat is not a hotel. He invited us to see our stay there as an opportunity to truly come together and contribute to enriching our experience as a group. Spending time with Padre Miguel and his team when helping them with simple tasks made us feel included in a day to day life of the congregation and brought us a lot of joy. Many of our fondest memories were created when chatting about life whilst washing up the dishes with the Sant Honorat team, or picking up herbs for the dinner.

Our prayer is you’ll also find serenity in those simple moments during our time together.

MEALS:

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the price of the retreat (please see the daily schedule).

The meals are vegetarian and prepared by the congregation members living at the Monastery. A lot of the vegetables come directly from the Monastery's garden. The meals are simple, nourishing and authentic to the local cuisine.
