We gather to focus on the inherent wholeness of your being, the inherent peace of your heart, the inherent spaciousness of your mind. — Gangaji

The Vancouver Silent Retreat with Gangaji offers continuous support over 6 days for awakening to the truth of who you are. The staff and volunteer team are dedicated to providing an environment that facilitates deep inquiry and reflection. The retreat takes place in Vancouver on the campus of the University of British Columbia, just a few miles from downtown, and surrounded by parks with hiking trails, beaches, and ocean. Held in conversational silence, the retreat offers the opportunity to leave behind all casual distractions and put your complete attention on the truth alive in your heart.
