What a magical experience! Mayadevi & Shintai are both such beautiful souls. The space they create and open for others to enjoy is something special! I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to spend a few days in the flow of their life. The property was absolutely stunning and their home was so cozy and welcoming. And oh my goodness the food was delicious!! Thank you both for opening your home to me and providing this space of peace!

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 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❤️

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.

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 Clare 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.

I recently had the great good fortune to experience 5 nights at the Silent Retreat Center in Assisi. The setting was beautiful, serene and steeped in sacred energy. I immediately felt "at home" with Shintai and Mayadevi, who provided everything I needed to easily and effortlessly relax into the inner silence. The schedule was supportive of meditation practices and personal reflection without being rigid, and the vegetarian food was amazing! There are several very special tours and walks available, as well as Mayadevi's incredible chair massage. I hope I can return again one day and highly recommend the Silent Retreat Center in Assisi!
