Our Upcoming Comprehensive Spiritual Development Retreat Weekend + Sunday Talk

The feed is back from our recent, monthly Ceremonial Purification Weekend, as well as our quarterly Noble Silence Meditation Retreat. “This was an amazing, cleansing reset for me,” reported Ms. Melissa. “Thank you for this powerfully transformative spiritual weekend. I look forward to traveling out for other retreats in the future.” Mrs Melissa and husband Randy concurred: “Thank you for this amazing spiritual reset. The property and house were a beautiful experience in themselves. For all those who pass through this place, I wish you the most love and blessings. We are all One and all connected, and our raised energies through unconditional love for all can change the world. God bless all — we love you!” Love you, too.

On that note, the curriculum for our upcoming Spiritual Development Class with the mighty John Ashbrook has arrived and we’re looking forward to class and another extended, transformative weekend retreat, with spots still open for registration. Spiritual Development Class 1101 will include: 1. 21st Century Principles 2.Five Stages of Love 3. Measuring One’s Spiritual Growth 4. Three Critical Laws 5. Self-Esteem and Peace along with 6. The Triangle of Balance and 7. interestingly, The Source of All Pain. Whatever could it be and how might we begin to irradiate suffering from our human psyches through permanent purifications in consciousness? Find out next weekend, along with meditation class and practice, yin yoga, great fare, and another extraordinary weekend of practice at The Higher Haven. Remember, too, for this special weekend, if you’re not able to make the entire retreat, you can join us for the Sunday afternoon class only. Either way, we look forward to seeing you ~ Toksha.

Our Fall 2022 Noble Silence Meditation Retreat Weekend

We’re gearing up for our Fall Noble Silence Meditation Retreat next weekend, beginning Friday evening, September 30th and ending the afternoon of Sunday October 30th, with a few spots still open for anyone wanting to jump on The Peace Train. This weekend retreat has gained serious momentum and is currently our leading transformational offering, not up and open again until the Winter of 2023, and so we hope you’ll consider joining us on this journey. Since its founding in the Summer of 2020, the reports from attendees have been off the charts, both in elevating and clarifying people’s personal meditation practices, while providing emotional healing, all the way up to the Spring NSMR of this past June 2022. In between is a short record of hope, health, and healing, from the warm reports of our winter count The Winter 2022 NMSR, back to the Fall Harvest of 2021, the great Sioux gathering that can occur during the summer months like it did in late July at our Summer NSMR of 2021, back to the 2021 Winter NSMR and full circle to The Fall NSMR of 2020, when we again first gained traction with dedicated retreaters coming together to support one another in sitting and silence. That’s a bit of information and we hope some testimonials that will answer some of the recent questions regarding the power of our practices and current offerings, and we hope will inspire you to also pay us a visit. Until then, Toksha.

Our Quarterly Noble Silence Meditation Retreats

"Attending The Noble Silence Retreat at Higher Haven was exactly what I needed to reset from all the stress of pandemic life in New York City. I loved it! Before going, I was worried that it might be one of those strict silent meditation experiences where you feel like you'll get in trouble if you sneeze or adjust your seating position. It was nothing like that at all! Paul Tootalian was a warm and welcoming host and guide. He made me feel at home and relaxed right away. The whole vibe of the experience was accepting, inclusive and respectful of each person's abilities and differences. The teachings were enlightening and interesting, and the meditation itself was an opportunity to connect inward in a way that's hard to do in our everyday environments. The grounds were beautiful, the meals were yummy and I can't wait to go back!” — Anna H. - Therapist, NYC
