PURE AWARENESS RETREATS

Silent yoga, meditation, and breathwork retreats in the heart of Maine and Vermont — guided by 37 years of wisdom, held in the beauty of nature.

Surya

Rooted in Stillness

 

Surya-Chandra Das has been guiding silent retreats since 1990 — drawing on studies with masters in India, decades of direct inquiry, and the enduring love of his late teaching partner Patricia. What he offers is not technique alone, but a lived understanding of what it means to return to stillness.

In Their Own Words

  • “The retreat couldn’t have been better…  When the chitter-chatter of voices and of the word on the page goes away you are left with the utter vibrancy of everything… It was one of the loveliest and simplest weeks of my life, for sure.” 

    Participant from California

  • "My heart has been opened and warmed by both of you"

  • “Just thought you might like to know that your retreat had a major impact on me.  I am still meditating every day as well as doing yoga.  I have found a deeper perspective and strength to deal with the various demands of my life.. your food has changed the way I eat.” 

    Participant from North Carolina
