I · Chikhai Bardo
Release
Recognise what has ended and find the courage to let it go. Releasing is not failure. It frees your energy and lets life move again.
What could open if you finally allowed it to go?
4-day autumn retreat in Belgium · November 19–22, 2026
The Sound
of Silence
Let go of the past. Cross the silence. Begin the life you truly want.
For four days in the Belgian Ardennes, release what weighs you down, find peace in the silence and open space for a new chapter filled with greater clarity, joy and desire to live.
Release. Remain. Begin again.
Inspired by the Bardo Thödol and guided by Pablo Teiwaz and Monika. A private group of only 10 participants.

When the old refuses to leave
Some things have ended, but they are still living inside us
Sometimes we know that something is over. But we keep holding on.
- ●A relationship that is no longer moving forward.
- ●A job that drains our light.
- ●An identity that has become too small.
- ●A story we keep repeating.
- ●A habit we no longer want.
While our hands are still full of the old, there is no space to receive the new.
The fear is not only letting go.
It is not knowing what comes next.
The space between endings and beginningsThe medicine
Crossing the silence
Between what ends and what begins, there is a space. The old is no longer here. The new has not yet arrived.
The Tibetan tradition calls this intermediate state a bardo. Instead of escaping it, we learn to stay. To listen. To feel. To stop rushing to fill it.
This silence is not empty. It is fertile.
It is filled with signs, emotions, intuition and life. When we hear it, it becomes a compass towards the next stage of our lives.
The inner map
Three portals. One new beginning.
A journey inspired by the bardos of the Bardo Thödol and brought into the transitions of our own lives.
II · Chönyid Bardo
Remain
After we let go, silence appears. We learn not to run. We feel without reacting and remain even when we do not know what comes next.
This is the heart of The Sound of Silence.
III · Sidpa Bardo
Begin again
Movement returns. Inspiration shows you what your soul wants to experience and express.
What would fill you again with passion, energy and desire?
Release. Remain. Begin again. Not only once. Again and again.

Back at the house, an Underworld ritual supported by the drum moves through struggle, confession and surrender. Personal sharing is always invited, never required.

Meet your guides
Pablo Teiwaz & Monika
Pablo and Monika left conventional professional lives to follow a deeper search for truth, healing, meaning, beauty, authentic relationships, travel and spiritual discovery.
Pablo brings more than ten years of experience with shamanism, energy work, meditation and non-duality. Monika co-facilitates the journey and helps hold its human rhythm: attention, care, grounding and connection.
They are not here to tell you what your next life should look like. They create a safe, clear and judgment-free space in which you can release the past, listen deeply and recognise your own next step.
