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 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.

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 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❤️

I spent 5 days with Shintai & Mayadevi in August.  It was the best gift I have ever given to myself.  The gift of time, space, silence and stillness with the support and presence of two beautiful souls.  It allowed me to really release and just be.  No doing, no need to be anything to anyone, just the opportunity to return to me. I am forever grateful and I would recommend the retreat to anyone.  It’s the perfect balance of feeling supported while still having the space to rediscover yourself without the outside noise.  The food was amazing at every meal and it felt like added nourishment for the body and soul. The location is also simply stunning with beautiful walks to explore in peace and the opportunity to visit Assisi and it’s history if you wish.

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 stayed at the Silent Retreat Centre for 3 nights. The nature and cultural sites offered by the location make this place very special. I very much enjoyed the approach to the retreat:..it allows for independence, for individuals to adapt the experience to their needs and thereby become their own judge of what works best for them, what they seek to get out of the experience.. If needed, guests can also ask for guidance and advice, which Shintai and Mayadevi provided in a very thoughtful and caring manner :) + the food prepared by Mayadevi was delicious and Shintai offered great guidance when visiting the santa Maria monastery...:D

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 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
