SUMMARY:Nâm Weekends of Silence (also online)
DESCRIPTION:Nâm Weekends of Silence\nJoin in our monastic rhythm during the Nâm weekends of Silence!\nDuring this weekend we will follow the monastic meditation rhythm of the asharum guided by well trained and experienced Nâm Monastics. \nThe weekend is facilitated as such that you can optimally reflect and contemplate life in all of its facets. \nFind out more about the programme and the different forms of meditation on the page 'daily rhythm'. \nDates for 2026:\nJanuari 30 - Februari 1 \nMarch 20 - 22 \nJune 12 - 14 \nAugust 7 - 9 \nOctober 9 - 11 \nDecember 11- 13 \n  \nThese weekends start at 5 p.m. on Friday (check in is possible from 3 p.m.) and end at 12 noon on Sunday (with the possibility to check out after lunch at 3 p.m.). \n\n  \n  \nSilence and Meditation\nObserving regular periods of silence combined with meditations that deepen the silence can be very beneficial. The modern lifestyle with its flow of impulses often allows only a little space to wind down. And yet such winding down is very important for one’s well-being. Without it the arranging and digesting of both the conscious and unconscious impulses remains incomplete. This may result in stress\, anxiety\, burnout\, loss of meaning of life\, depression and a host of other problems. \nAlso scientific research has discovered when people are silence daily new cells are made in the hippocampus\, this can prevent for example depression and Alzheimer disease. \nTherefore the Asharum offers several possibilities for you to join in meditation and to be in silence. \nDuring these weekends we invite you to be in absolute silence throughout the weekend. In order to support this there will be a monastic rhythm for which we use the powerful Asha Meditation and Breath Meditation both developed by Yoginâm.  \nRead this blog to discover about the benefits of silence. \nBuilding beneficial  memories is the key to creating well-being\nConstantly you are building new memories with what you experience. Those memories are unconsciously colouring every day life. Knowing this you can use this knowledge to consciously create helpful  memories. Participating in a Weekend of Silence is such a way of creating. After experiencing silence in a profound way it will forever be in your memory field. \nBesides\, once having experienced the power of silence you know it and you know you can always come back to it. This may be very helpful in busy daily life! \nHarpMood\nBecause it is such a powerful transformative use the HarpMood by Yoginâm to enrich this event. This will give these weekends a powerful extra impuls and makes them even more special then they already are! \n  \n‘In silence the inner world and the outer world melt into One’ \nYoginâm \n  \nOnline participation from the Location Asharum Amonines\nSince 2022 we also offer this program online. In our experience\, physical distance does not stand in the way of a valuable experience. Because the meditation / course space remains available in a constant online connection\, the energy of the location can also be felt in your home and partly creates the right ambiance for a powerful experience. \nThe costs for online participation are €83\,- \n\n

SUMMARY:Nâm Retreat of Silence (also online)
DESCRIPTION:  \nDates for this Nâm Retreat of Silence in 2025 & 2026 \nDecember 28 - January 3\, 2025 \nApril 26 - May 2\, 2026 (no availability) \nSeptember 17 - 23  Women's retreat \nDecember 27\, 2026 - January 2\, 2027 \nThese weeks start at 5 p.m. on the day of arrival (check in is possible from 3 p.m.) and end at 11 a.m. on the day of departure. \nEmbrace the silence supported by a monastic meditation rhythm\nEmbrace the silence supported by a monastic meditation rhythm during this powerful retreat of silence. A unique retreat like no other\, opening the doors to Awareness and the deeper layers of who you are. \n  \nIn a world where distraction is constantly present\, appealing to us with many impulses and busy agendas is a moment of silence in which we are given the opportunity to return to our essence a precious moment. \nStaying in Asharum Amonines means separating yourself from the busy daily life including the online world\, in a safe and serene environment\, surrounded by the beauty of the Ardennes landscape. \nYou participate in meditation of Nâm monastics five times a day. \nThe caregivers meet all practical needs\, so that you can start this journey of profound inner exploration without distraction; immersed in silence\, the otherwise hidden depths of your being unravel. \nIf you want to fundamentally change something in your life\, this special retreat where you let go of all 'doing' is the way to go. \n\nYoginâm\nWe consider these retreats as very special and powerful even though they are not for everyone. This because one needs to be serious in a longing to open for profound and lasting transformation. \nYour programmes will be shaken with the invitation to a letting go for only by emptying yourself you can open yourself. \nThrough an online connection the present day mystic Yoginâm is involved once a day through HarpMood. This supports the individual transformation of each participant in a beautiful and powerful way. This adds significantly to the intensity of the Nâm Retreat of Silence. \n  \nAll who are moved by Yoginâm start to remember who they are and begin to live their lives accordingly. In the presence of Yoginâm it becomes easy to open to our divine nature which we affirm with Nâm. By this alchemy we become able to embrace and appreciate life to the fullest\, leaving behind the liking and disliking. \n\nRetreat as answer\nA daily monastic rhythm of five meditations per day\, supported by silence and with specific instruments for focus and attunement\, are a powerful opportunity to relax at a deep level and to tune in to our Essence\, that which we really are. \nWe just need to remember this Essence that we are and we do this by letting go\, by doing nothing for a while. In this 'doing nothing' we will automatically remember ourselves. \nWhere in everyday life the bustle of the day\, where we sometimes get the feeling of 'being lived'\, prevails. Where sometimes difficult circumstances or even problems can come to the fore\, all this is placed in a spacious wider frame during the Nâm silence retreat. Perspectives shift in that space and the spectacles we look through slowly change color. A whole new world appears before our eyes! \nThis retreat of silence is a catalyst for sustainable transformation.\nAfter the retreat\, you will notice how the insights continue to resonate in your daily life and how a new color has changed your view of the same world. Circumstances will adapt to this new perception and solutions to problems can come spontaneously. \nMeditation is living in attunement.\nMeditation in itself is not self-analysis\, not an investigation into your feelings; it is letting go of the illusion of what you are as a separate entity living in a world. It is an opening for Awareness\, that which you are\, in essence. \nMeditation in the context of LivingNâm is about creating a space in which the all-encompassing whole can show itself as the essence of every moment of life. Meditation is living in attunement. \nSilence\nBy stopping all communication during the retreat and by limiting impulses and expressions\, there is room for silence to take over. \nIn the same way that dreams during sleep are essential in 'arranging' the impressions of life\, meditation and silence are an advanced way to take transformation to another level. The combination of different meditations and recitation during the Nâm Silence Retreat are a powerful method of attunement. \nThoughts settle down and as the inner noise decreases\, you will discover the gentle rhythm of the breath; the rhythm that anchors with the Now. Only a life in the Now can bring harmony\, freedom and a profound and lasting well-being. \n  \n\n\nAfter a fairly long search and quite a few experiences at previous retreats\, I finally feel like I'm 'coming home' after this retreat in Amonines. \nBoth coming home to a charming house surrounded by a set of loving people and a paradisiacal garden\, and coming home to myself. \nAmonines has charmed me\, touched my soul. I had the privilege of feeling a deep connection with the true\, the deepest source within myself. That feels like a true gift. \nMy search stops\, coming home to Yoginâm is what I was looking for. \nI feel a lot of love in my heart and I like to share that with everyone here in the house. \nBig hug and a sincere thank you. \nRegards Ingrid\,  \nMay 2022 \n\n\n\nDuring this retreat of silence the following is included:\n-A programme with five meditations a day\n-Complete silence for five days\n-A retreat text as an instrument which guides you through the age-old Quest of Life\n-A (virtual) meeting with Yoginâm\n-Six-night stay\n-A small group of participants\n-Personal guidance when needed\n-Three healthy vegan meals a day\, tea\, coffee and fruits\n-A staff who takes care of all daily needs with attention and care \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy a Nâm Retreat of Silence?\nIn order to deal with frequently recurring life situations differently\, the so-called Habitual Programmes of Perception\, which resemble as Apps\, need to be transformed. You create these Programmes by the way you live and then they determine how you approach your world\, in other words\, how you relate to life. These Apps are unconscious and you cannot transform them with learning and trying\, but new programs can replace the old ones. \nRead more about the usefulness of the Nâm Silence Retreat in this blog text written by Yoginâm. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nA new participants \nwho had 25 years of experience with retreats\,\nsaid afterwards:\n"This retreat was very special\, there is so much love here".\nShe immediately signed up for the next retreat. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nPurpose and instruments of the Nâm Retreat of Silence\nJust being suddenly silent generally leads to a spinning mind. Calming such a mind by silence alone would take much longer than the relatively short time available for a retreat. Therefore\, during a Nâm Silence Retreat you will receive instruments that act as a catalyst and accelerate the necessary inner alchemy of transformation. \nThe purpose of this alchemy is to lighten your daily life and lead it from the inside to an ever greater degree of unconditional Wellbeing\, the potential of all living. \nIn addition to inner instruments that you use individually\, the participants of a Nâm Silence Retreat meet five times a day for meditation and recitation. Such traditional instruments are powerful tools for transformation. \nThe Habitual Programmes of Perception are unconscious; you cannot know them and you cannot change them directly. They only appear in the way you deal with ordinary life situations. \nThanks to the strongly transforming factor of the Nâm Silence Retreat\, these programmes become transformed and you will gradually deal with life in a different way; a way that feels better and that can eventually become your natural state of unconditional well-being. \nFor anyone who is seriously involved in a spiritual quest\nRegular retreats are very important to anyone seriously involved in a spiritual quest. The philosophy behind LivingNâm is transcendental psychology\, it is not religious. Therefore\, anyone\, regardless of religion\, spirituality\, secularism or ideology\, can take advantage of the Nâm Retreat of Silence. \nDuring these special Nâm Retreats of Silence\,  Yoginâm is involved once a day through HarpMood. This supports the individual transformation of each participant. This adds significantly to the intensity of the Nâm Silence Retreat. \nThese Nâm Silence Retreats with HarpMood are held in Asharum Nijar Spain and in Asharum Amonines Belgium. \n  \n\n\n\n\n“Live life like dancing to music\nDo not try to remember your steps\nBut discover where the music\nis coming from” \nYoginâm \nRead here more about the Nâm Method. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Causal Investigation Shamanic Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking Soul’s Potential:\nCausal Investigation\nBasic Shamanic Retreat\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n5 - 9 November 2026\n  \n\n\n\n\nA shamanic event guided by Anna Montis\, experienced shaman native from Sardinia\n\n\nCausal Investigation is a chance to widen your view beyond everyday perception and to experience healing that works on a deep and tangible level. Since we are not only rational beings but also dream beings\, it is essential to explore the field of soul (emotion/feelings) with the appropriate methods. Causal Investigation is such a method. In Causal Investigation one connects in a particular way to soul impressions. It is a natural magical self-psychology and healing far beyond conventional psychology. \nDuring the events Anna Montis will guide you through a very special experience in private and group gatherings. A balanced programme is offered throughout each day including meditation\, shamanic travelling\, healing and teaching. The programme in the morning\, afternoon and evening is designed to draw you step by step into the experience of shamanic travelling and the exploration of soul. \n\n\n\n\nDEEP HEALING\nParticipants can expect profound healing that operates on a deep and tangible level \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSOUL EXPLORATION\nThe workshop offers a chance to widen one's perspective beyond everyday perception and explore the realm of the soul\, including emotions and feelings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEMOTIONAL BALANCE\nThe workshop focuses on emotional healing and offers insights into achieving lasting emotional balance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACCESS TO UNCONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE\nAttendees will gain specific methods to access their inner unconscious experience and look within themselves. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nINNER TRANSFORMATION\nBy learning to dream purposefully\, participants can get in touch with inner forces and energies\, allowing them to transform and communicate with their feelings on a profound level. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE RETREAT\n\n\n\nThis event allows you to discover a natural\, ancient and timeless method through which all aspects of soul are explored. Born at the beginning of time\, the techniques used in Causal Investigation are still applicable today for insight and healing with consistent results. \nIn a balanced programme you are guided to a different way of perceiving and you will learn to gain access\, in a specific way\, to your inner unconscious experience\, enabling you to look inside yourself. In a state of mind in which you dream on purpose\, you will learn to get in touch with forces and energies that take on a meaning for you in a unique language of images. This allows you to discover\, transform\, and communicate with your feelings at the level from which they originate. \nYou will discover sources of power and inspiration\, supporting transformation of energies in daily life towards more harmony. In this way you will explore communication in the realm of soul. You will learn to relate to non-physical realities and harmonise them with the physical realm. \nHOLISTIC APPROACH\n\n\nThe practice of Causal Investigation is rooted in the holistic approach of Nâm. This event facilitates a way of dealing with life that leads to better management and harmonisation in soul with the unknowable totality. \n  \n\nAnna Montis

SUMMARY:Yoga Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Dates for 2026\nMay 28-31 - Fully booked\nJuly 16-19 - Fully booked\nAugust 20-23 -Fully booked\nNovember 12 - 15 \nChecking in is between 3 pm and 5pm\, check out is at 12 am. It is possible to stay until after lunch\, you can choose this as an extra option with your reservation. \nMeaning and Practice of Yoga\nThe word Yoga literally means “becoming One”.\nThe idea that you have to do something to get there is just a mental programme running.\nInstead of doing something\, it is about gradually opening up to the realisation that everything is One and it is expressing itself through you. This realisation requires an ethic\, towards yourself and others\, since there is no distinction between you\, so-called others and all that lives.\nIn gradually opening up in it is important to listen carefully to life\, as it is life itself that guides you. Practicing yoga can bring you the sensitivity and confidence needed for this and thus empower you. \nThe classes\nDuring the sessions\, you are guided through a series of gentle movements and occasionally intense postures.\nMoving slowly and approaching your body with kindness\, attentiveness\, curiosity\, and understanding can lead to a new way of seeing—and\, in turn\, a new way of being. It may offer a path to transform habits and patterns that are no longer serving you. \nAsha Meditation\nAs part of the retreat\, there are six meditations known as Asha meditation.\nThe first part of the Asha Meditation involves a steady rhythm played on a drum to ease the transition into a meditative state. The second part takes place in silence.\nA sense of unity and tranquillity \nIt is possible to spend entire days—or selected parts of the day—in silence. Silence\, in combination with yoga and meditation\, offers a beautiful way to begin experiencing a sense of connectedness and to find calm. The retreat invites you to slow down and open yourself\, allowing a gentle spaciousness and lightness to emerge in both body and mind. \nDaily rhythm\n\n07.30 Yoga class\n09:15 Breakfast\n10:00 Asha meditation\n14:00 Warm lunch\n16:00 Yoga class\n18:00 Asha meditation\n19:00 Supper\n\nThe first yoga class is always the morning after the day of arrival in order for you to arrive in a calm manner.\nThe programme ends on the last day around 12.00 am.\nThe cost for the retreat is €300\, based on full board with three meals\, yoga and meditations. \nThis Yoga retreat is guided by Katelijn\nI am gradually moving along a path where sensations\, the use of the senses\, the imagination of the body\, and the experience of spaciousness\, lightness\, and breath are becoming increasingly important. The asana—or any other movement or posture—is something that arises from within\, rather than being an externally imposed form to which the body must conform.\nDuring the sessions\, I like to take the freedom to incorporate other movement practices\, such as Chi-Kung and Do-In from the shiatsu tradition\, when they support the opening of the body and the engagement of the senses.\nThrough my teaching\, I hope to evoke a sense of playfulness that invites us to look beyond our own beliefs\, as well as to offer the experience of the body as a gateway or bridge to a meditative state. \nKatelijn has a background as a yoga teacher in Critical Alignment Yoga. She is also a Zen Shiatsu therapist\, having completed her training at the Zen Shiatsu School led by Joyce Vlaarkamp in Amsterdam. \n \nComments: \nThe way in which Katelijn guides you through the exercises is very subtle and with great effect. Her words speak to the imagination and at the same time have a very direct influence and effect on the physical experience.\nMachteld\, April 2019 \nThe effect of the yoga classes is still present\, it's as if I view the world differently and more positively\, I have exactly lost my luggage from the past months.\nEvy\, March 2022 \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Plan year-round your own Personal Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Personal Meditation Retreat\nThe personal meditation retreat can be adapted to what you need. This can be different for everybody and depends on the purpose of your retreat. We facilitate a programme similar to the communal retreats. You can decide yourself wether you would like to stay in silence (parts of) the day or not. \n\nAlways wanted to go to a monastery for a few days? \nTo withdraw from a busy life and to recharge your batteries can be a good idea! Besides\, creating a moment for yourself in which you consciously tune yourself to your essence can contribute powerfully to your life. \nApart from religion and tradition Asharum Amonines offers different retreats which are a beautiful opportunity to unwind from a busy and demanding daily life and to attune to your spiritual and transcendental nature\, the Essence of what you truly are. \nYou can decide yourself when you would like to do this retreat and how long. \nDuring such a retreat you can participate in the monastic rhythm of the Asharum. Usually this is a daily rhythm of four meditations per day. This rhythm is guided by well trained and experienced Nâm Monastics. \nWe recommend you to be in silence during the day or parts of the day and you will receive some extra tools which can help you find focus and attunement during such a retreat. \nWhy a personal meditation retreat\nThe reasons for a personal retreat vary widely. \nFor example\, your goal may be to relax from busy life\, recharge your batteries and reconnect with your natural state. We then recommend staying in silence as much as possible\, including a digital detox by turning your mobile phone off or on flight mode. You can then also choose not to read and write and focus completely on 'doing nothing'. This is the most powerful way to go deep into the retreat. Of course\, you can vary this as you wish\, which is the beauty of a personalised retreat. \nRetreat as part of your recovery\nAlso if you are in or recovering from a difficult time or a burn-out\, for example\, a personal retreat can do some good. For instance\, we have a very useful and powerful text written specifically for retreats. This text helps to give direction to thoughts and enter into a more reflective state. The text also gives some insights that can help gain insight into the programmes that caused the difficulties or the burnout. \nFor inspirations\nRetreats can also greatly benefit those who would like to write their own book in silence or who want to be artistic and want to find the inspiration in silence. \nYour stay\nIf you would like to come with a friend and share a room\, or do the retreat from home\, that is also possible. \nWe use a minimum and maximum stay of 2 and 5 days respectively\, Monday is our restday\, visits are not possible then. \nCheck-in on location is after 3 pm and check out of the room at 11 am. It is possible to stay until after lunch\, you can choose this as an extra option with your reservation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLong retreats are now sometimes also possible!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsually a booking of up to five nights is not possible due to the closed Monday. Because the need may be to go into retreat longer\, we have created the possibility several times a year to book a retreat of\, for example\, seven or ten days. This may be between the following dates: \nMay 19 -31\, 2026 \n\n\n\nJuli 14 - 26\, 2026 \nAlso note we are open on Easter Monday and Pentecost Monday. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese retreats are accompanied by Irma\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe personal meditation retreat will be accompanied by Irma ten Brink. If she cannot attend\, she will provide a replacement. Irma has lived a contemplative and monastic life for more than fifteen years\, which has mainly brought her peace and clarity of mind. From this experience she supports the guests. \nDuring a personal retreat\, you stay in a single room. \nThe costs of such a retreat includes full-board meals and meditations. \n \n“Discover your belief in your heart\nAnd transcend your heart in Love\nIn Love\, belief and religion are transcended\nIn Love you will find meaning and joy” \nYoginâm
