The Silent Retreat Center has been my silver lining in very difficult times, an experience I was desperately looking forward to for weeks, to bring back some peace and quiet, some light and hope into my life. To live and thrive again. The eight days individual stay has by all means lived up to my expectations. The location itself, in the midst of a marvelous scenery of rolling hills and olive groves, surrounded by a mystic flair full of history and energy coming over from Assisi, is in itself nourishment and inspiration for mind, body and soul. The hosts, Mayadevi and Shintai, provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for a journey together in silence, yet with enough room for privacy and individual headspace. In addition, they offered tailor made (spiritual) guidance and advice, when enquired, with the utmost sensitivity and compassion to meet my needs, based on decades of relevant experience and long careers in the field. Their pure presence, their kindness and their passion for creating a meditative space, a space to develop a deeper understanding of oneself and discover new perspectives, makes the Silent Retreat Center a very unique and highly recommendable experience for those who are open to giving in to and immersing oneself in an emotionally “wild ride” in stillness, nothingness, in just being. My profound gratitude goes out to you, Mayadevi and Shintai, for supporting me on a bumpy path to find a way to cope with various challenges. Thank you for bringing me back to life.

I love the tranquillity and the rolling, beautiful hills of Umbria, long one of my favourite parts of Italy. The Silent Retreat Centre itself is simple but well considered and the people running it are open hearted and generous. For anyone wanting a break from the stresses and strains of 'ordinary' life, this is a great place. Recommended.

Loved it here, calm silence and space - no agenda, no belief systems - you're just gently encouraged to slow down and look within yourself. There's opportunity to share here every day as well with Shintai and Mayadevi if you wish and they can provide you with insightful feedback. Food is excellent. Location is stunning - there are daily excursions (all optional) into Assisi and beautiful walks in the area if you want to head out on your own. Highly recommended! :)

I spent unforgettable 10 days in the Retreat Center and for me it was really beautiful spiritual experience. Mayadevi and Shintai are just so easy to be around and very helpful always when you need some guidilance. Whatever it is that you are looking for, I am sure that stay at those peaceful place with such an amazing hosts may give you the right spin and help to get closer to the answers you are looking for. Definitely recommended! Undecided? Leave that feeling at home and just try it.

My 10-day retreat here was deeply refreshing and insightful. The hosts provided the space, conditions and support for full immersion in silence and introspection, just as described in their website. The center is located in a quiet spot by the hills behind mount Subasio, sorrounded by hiking trails, native vegetation and small farms. I found the acommodation quite comfortable, and the food was fresh, light, and delicious. Thank you Mayadevi and Shintai for your kind and warm hospitality, and for sharing your special place! The picture attached is of my favourite meditation spot by a water stream, about 20 min walk from the center.

Just finished a 7 days retreat at this beautiful house, with a view words can’t describe .  You are welcomed with acceptance and smile, and that is the ingredients you need, to start your inner journey. What ever you chose to follow the energy of Francesco in Assisi, or wanna stay in your own evolving of awakening, this place has the potential for those who have never practiced self evolving, but also for the experienced ones. And the beautiful view over Monte Subasio in itself, is the whole journey worth. Thank you!

I was not sure what to expect- but the Silent Retreat Center and lovely Mayadevi and Shintai definitely went far beyond my expectations. The house is set in a beautiful spot, the vegetarian food is not only tasty and healthy, but also beautiful. Shintai and Mayadevi are full of authenticity, who are more than capable of just letting you BE. Highly recommended to anyone who feels the world is just too much :)

The centre provided a safe and supportive space for me to dive into being without any tasks, expectations or distractions. I highly recommend it to anyone who is on their self-exploration journey.

I spent six days at this beautiful retreat in the middle of November - perfect time if you want to fall in love with autumn in Italy. It’s a peaceful  home to go to if you need to find tools and insight for how to live a present life. To just be. Mayadevi and Shintai who hosted this retreat was very warm and kind. They provided me a safe space to be present and in the optional sharing sessions they guided me with reflecting questions. The food was lovely and the hikes that were mapped out was a great way to take my mind into the moment. It was a unique experience that I’ll cherish within my heart, mind and body❤️
