Silent retreat
The silent retreat with Piero Falci was an amazing experience. It’s hard to explain in words - but a full day of silent meditation with like minded people and a wonderful instructor was unique and incredible. It was an excellent way to reinforce my practice.

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. We are delighted that your day of contemplative practice with Piero served to deepen your mindfulness skills. We believe in the power of gathering in a dedicated space with like-minded others, and your successful retreat confirms our mission.

I attended the eight week session to learn MBSR and become a better practitioner of meditation and mindfulness. This course absolutely nailed it with some of the best instruction and practices I received from a training, the activities and guided instruction along with practice help support the development of your own mindfulness practices. This allowed for a deepening of my own mindfulness and meditation practices and are skills I am looking forward to maintaining throughout my personal life and career.

This was my first silent retreat and it was peaceful grounding experience. The instructor was warm and welcoming, the flow was pleasant and everyone in the retreat seemed at ease. I left feeling more connected to my meditation practice and would definitely attend again!

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Not only was the teach Piero Falci just an amazing person to share space with, but being able to share and learn with others really made the experience that much better. When the program was almost finished I grew to be sad realizing how much I was going to miss my new group of people!

It was a great experience! I'm almost done with the MBSR program itself, but the retreat was very good. Being silent all day, contemplative and able to just pause during this craziness that is modern-day living, what a change. I have and will continue to recommend this program to others.

5 Day Retreat - An Experience of liberation. This is the second multi day retreat that I completed with Piero Falci and I highly recommend it. Piero maintains a steady and loving presence that supports your journey at the pace that best serves you. I was able to let go of the 'stories I tell myself' and discover the natural peace and love that is the foundation of my existence. I've done plant medicine journeys and worked with other healing modalities, but this format is more accessible and the easiest to integrate compared to other approaches. Five days of your time will be well spent. The yield of insights and liberation are worth every moment of effort.

I not only received great insights on the mindfulness practice, but I also learned group coaching skills and how to conduct oneself as a group coach. I think Tushar is an excellent coach.

3pm pdt was not a good time for me. I and my husband often had medical appointments at that time. I was also having having a severe back problem that prevented me from doing the exercises.
2 1/2 hours is too long. I suggest one hour.

Hands down a wonderful training and transformation in this program. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, this program is rich with information and opportunities to explore a more deeply held practice. Slow down. Be present in each experience. Listen more. A special shout out to my instructor, Tushar. Thank you beyond measure!!!
