Satsang Retreat

Satsang Retreat:
"Knowing Yourself through the Path of Advaita"

This satsang is a gathering among friends dedicated to spiritual questions and Self-realization. Through times of sharing, silence, and contemplation, participants are invited to explore non-duality, as transmitted in the tradition of Advaita.

This path aims to dissolve the beliefs of separation and to recognize what is already there, silently present: the peace of the heart and the natural wisdom. The exchanges take place in a simple and kind setting, open to all questions and deep listening.

What is a Satsang?

The word satsang comes from Sanskrit: sat means truth, and sanghameans community or circle. Satsang is therefore a gathering around truth, an informal meeting between people who share the sincere desire to recognize and live the truth of their being.

In the tradition of Ramana Maharshi and Mount Arunachala, to which Pamela Wilson is connected, satsang is also a space of silent strength. It is a moment where one simply sits together, in presence, to taste what is already here, effortlessly.

Satsang can also be seen as a place of inner shedding : what is no longer useful—suffering, confusion, limiting beliefs, feelings of separation—can be laid down, not by willpower but by the sincerity of presence.

Pamela describes satsang as a gathering of mountains coming together to talk about their unmoving nature. This highlights the depth and silent stability that emerge from these moments.
