Harsha, Sr. Sukanya, Sr. Kyoko and Dr. Vinod&nbsp;guided the participants into deeper levels of consciousness and their connection to the Divine. It was easy for the participants to get in touch with their inner core and manage their emotions well as they meditated with live harp music by Sr. Kyoko and journaled their&nbsp;experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating sattvic vegetarian food and snacks in silence was a unique experience for&nbsp;many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants were very happy to have found a space that hosts Silence Retreats in the city without traveling far distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feedback from some participants:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The ambience of the meditation center, the peaceful, pure vibrations here provided a space for my inner healing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now I feel, it is possible to bring a change in myself without being stressed out.
