Winter Retreat · Antar Mouna: Inner Silence
December 4–7, 2025
📍 Casa Rural El Pagano, Sierra de Gredos (Ávila, Spain)
Led by: Pablo Ferrero and assistant teachers from Matrika Yoga School
Immerse yourself in a transformative retreat in the heart of nature, where the deep practice of Yoga is combined with self-inquiry through Antar Mouna, an ancient technique for observing and calming the mind.
During these days, we will work through an integrated approach that includes Iyengar Yoga, Hatha–Kriya Yoga, and Classical Tantra Yoga. Special emphasis will be placed on practices of silence, maintaining silence for 48 hours—from 10:00 pm on the day of arrival until 9:00 pm the day before departure.
Throughout this retreat, we will explore the six stages of Inner Silence, a practice that guides us toward contact with the Self, beyond mental noise, sensory input, and judgment.
We will also engage in reflective writing practices to observe our personal journey—together.
We will share a space of introspection where, through attentive self-observation and inner connection, we explore where we come from, where we are, and where we wish to go.
This is a path we do not walk alone, but in companionship—opening doors to reflection and personal discovery. An invitation to turn inward, to listen deeply, and to share what arises from that silence.

Its surroundings are filled with chestnut trees, oaks, walnut trees, strawberry trees, holm oaks, and pines, creating a landscape that invites introspection and rest.
Both spaces promote a sustainable and respectful lifestyle, encouraging the responsible use of natural resources, digital disconnection, and reconnection with what truly matters. These are places that inspire silence, authenticity, and the experience of returning to what is simple and true.

The Sierra de Gredos is one of the most beautiful and untamed natural areas in central Spain. Its granite mountains, rivers, and crystal-clear gorges create an environment of profound serenity.
Forests of oak, chestnut, pine, and holm oak blend with meadows where goats and deer graze freely.
The pure air and deep silence invite you to breathe slowly and reconnect with the rhythm of nature. Its clear skies allow for breathtaking stargazing.
In spring and autumn, the landscape transforms into a living display of color and light. The mountain climate, yet mild, offers freshness in summer and a sense of inwardness in winter.
The trails that cross its valleys and peaks lead to viewpoints, lagoons, and charming villages.
The energy of Gredos invites you to pause, to listen, and to fully inhabit the present moment.
It is a place where nature becomes a teacher and the soul finds rest.
