Dear Mayadevi & Shintai
Thank you again for a most remarkable experience at your beautiful sanctuary in Assisi! A vibration of peace and love pervades the atmosphere you have created. Mayadevi's delicious and beautifully presented meals were such a joy to eat in the silence of surrender. Her massages brought healing to my body and mind.

Shintai's care in starting the woodstove every morning in our meditation space was so appreciated by us being from the tropical Pacific. His love for San Damiano where Saint Claire lived her life and the crypt of Saint Francis allowed me to experience Christ consciousness in a way I had never felt before. His quiet direction helped us to discover the cathedrals and streets of Assisi as pilgrims as well as the natural beauty of the hiking trails around the center.

Meditating with Mayadevi and Shintai in such an intimate space invited a deeply healing bottomless depth.

With much love and joy,
Olympia

I had the pleasure of spending 4 nights (not long enough!) with Shintai and Mayadevi at the Silent Retreat Center outside of Assisi. The warmth, kindness, and gentle care that I found from the moment I arrived to the moment I departed was a gift. The energy of stillness and the care in silence filled my heart, mind, and soul. I will return for a full 7-nights in the Fall. Thank you, Shintai and Mayadevi - we co-created a beauty that cannot be replicated. I look forward to the next visit. Neal

Signing myself up for 10 days' retreat here was the best gift I offered myself in years.... Pure nourishment to my entire system (my body, my heart, my mind and my spirit all thanked me!). Shintai and Mayadevi are the most gracious and generous hosts who took care the smallest details all the way to the biggest spiritual enquiries, with grace, patience and finesse, to ensure that the experience offered me joy, ease and growth - all I had to do was simply lean into "being". Brilliant surroundings, brilliant food, brilliant silent excursions and walks, brilliant service, brilliant company, and above all two brilliant HEARTS. Thank you Shintai and Mayadevi. I will most certainly be coming back.I send you love. xxx

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 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❤️

The centre and the hosts provided a safe and supportive space to dive into being and self-exploration. I highly recommend it to anyone on their growth journey.

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.
