Silent Knowing is a state of profound inner awareness where words become obsolete, and wisdom flows effortlessly from the depths of your soul. It’s about awakening your intuition, embracing your own silent wisdom, and transcending the confines of the conscious mind.

It connects you with the timeless truths that lie beyond thought, and life, at this point, truly begins. True transformation, true change is the burning of the old, so that the seeds of the new can grow and flourish. This is the mandate of life, of nature and of the human spirit.

“The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you understand why” 

In the book, The Power of Silence, Don Juan talks about “Silent Knowledge” as a state of awareness that mankind was once anchored in. He went on to say how humanity was now anchored in the place of “reason” – rather than silent knowledge – but that due to our true nature as humans, we still long for the place we have lost, the place of deeper wisdom and knowing the infinity of human potential that is embodied in the expression, “silent knowledge”.

“Silent Knowledge’ is something that all of us have, something that has complete mastery, complete knowledge of everything. But it cannot think, therefore it cannot speak what it knows.

Silent Knowing is not just a retreat; it’s a gateway to the deepest aspects of your true self.
This transformative experience, led by world renowned metaphysician and teacher Vernon Frost, offers you the opportunity to explore a path to inner awakening and enlightenment. The pathway that has heart.
