I have to be honest, I was terrified at the prospect of a 3 day silent retreat. Like many of us, my life is incredibly busy and overwhelming on an ongoing basis. I am a single mom to a 9 year old daughter with Down Syndrome and a 10 year old daughter who competes internationally in her her sport. I also have my own business so the thought of taking my precious 3 “off days” and going to a silent retreat made me nervous. But as it turned out it was the BEST decision and choice I could have made. It wasn’t always easy but the woman that emerged at the end of the 3 days was profoundly changed for the better.
Allison provided simple yet powerful techniques for meditation. And I still use the techniques.
But most importantly for the first time in years I was alone with myself. I found peace in my presence and it was incredible.
Thank you To all who made it possible. This experience will do everyone a world of good.”
“I attended Allison’s mediation retreat. Her many years of practice have given her many helpful insights to share. Mount Mary is a lovely place to spend time in silence. I especially loved walking the gorgeous trails, listening to the sound of the creek and waterfall. The retreat was well organized, with a nice balance of group meditation time and solitude. I loved spending time with a group in silence.”
