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 stay at Silentretreatcenter was really Nice. Shintai and Mayadevi were really kind and we had a great silent time togehther. The House is located with a beautiful view in the Umbrien mountians, close to Assisi. We had some great meditation sessions and the  trekking routes were really fantastic. I absolutely recommend Shintais and Mayadevis place for everybody who like to go on a silent retreat.

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

Mayadevi and Shintai are more than capable to offer you a complete retreat, with great food, good tours and amazing support during your silent stay in this beautiful place.

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.

What a great and valuable experience! I visited the silent retreat center for a 7 days individual stay in the end of December. Although it was winter the landscape with the mountains and the forest was amazing, every morning the look out of the window came with a different flavour: blue sky with sunshine, clouds hiding the top of the mountains or fog covering even the trees nearby. With the fireplace and suitable clothes, I always felt cosy and warm. Each day of my retreat was structured (breakfast, sitting/walking meditation, lunch, free time, visiting Assisi etc.) which gave my usually always busy mind the opportunity to calm down and relax. I had a good mix of visiting Assisi (and attending two amazing Christmas concerts) and spending time in the countryside. From the beginning on the atmosphere in the house was very welcoming and comfortable so it was easy so settle down and leave everyday life behind. I experienced that Mayadevi and Shintai really took care of me and making this experience as smooth and rich as possible. They gave me space for myself but were there with advice when needed. I spent my birthday and New Year’s Eve with them and I am going to keep this special week with gratitude and warmth in my heart. Notably, one of my every day highlights were the meals, Mayadevi is truly a master chef! :) All in all, I can highly recommend a visit to the silent retreat center, especially for people that feel like stepping back from the fast moving daily routine. Thank you for this lovely week!

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 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.

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.
