In May 2022, I spent 5 days in the Silent Retreat with Mayadevi and Shintai. As their only guest, I was warmly welcomed into their meditative space. We shared delicious vegetarian meals as well as the silence. The retreat is fairly remote, so an excellent location to take in nature with beautiful views of Mount Subasio and plenty of walking and hiking options. Facilities were clean and stylishly minimalistic with great attention to detail. I found what I was looking for - hospitality, compassion and silence. Although it is a space of silence, we had daily sharing sessions to reflect upon observations and inisghts, with both Mayadavi and Shintai providing very personal guidance. I‘ll be back one day!

A simple joy is a pure joy. Mayadevi and Shintai welcomed me to their beautiful home for three nights. It was in this oasis, tagliata fuori dal mondo, that I rediscovered an inner calm. Through a very simple daily routine and a shared silence I began to rediscover a centredness that I'd lost touch with in this noisy world. It was a beautiful experience and one that will aid my journey in this busy life.

Ensconced in the mountains of Umbria the Silent Meditation Center exudes peace. There is no traffic, birdsong is constant and the soughing of the wind through the pines is soporific.  Mayadevi and Shintai, the hosts, made me feel welcomed and held. I was able to relax completely, meditate and let go, and enjoy delicious, healthy meals. When I arrived I was in a state of extreme agitation and doubt. After 5 days I left feeling calm and confident. I highly recommend this wonderful haven for anyone needing to rest, contemplate and recuperate.

I spent 10 nights in May 2023 with Mayadevi and Shintai at their beautiful retreat center in the mountains of Assisi. From the moment I arrived their heartfelt warmth and generosity was evident. The space they provided was like a home away from home, where I got to breathe out, relax and settle into the silence of their beautiful retreat. The simplicity and depth of what they offered was exactly what I needed and I left feeling refreshed, restored and whole. Forever grateful for this life changing event. I would highly recommend this retreat.

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 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 :)

I visited during new year 2019/2020 to withdraw from the common traditions and try something new. I was warmly welcomed initially via e-mail and during the stay.  Silent retreat center Assisi is truly a magical place to withdraw to one self in a safe and gently structured environment.

I had the opportunity to spend 3 nights at this retreat, the hosts are amazing and so helpful, wonderful vegetation meals. It was nice to slip into their rhythm of life and enjoy the silence.
