                                      Noble Silence

                                      Flowering Lotus is a sacred place for people to experience peacefulness and tranquility.  We ask that you do not use cell phones, text messages, MP3 players, computers or any other electronic devices during silent retreats.  We also ask that you observe Noble Silence throughout the retreat.  During silent retreats couples and partners will be housed separately.  We also house friends and relatives in separate rooms.  This helps retreatants to really focus on their individual meditation journey. 

                                      For more on the practice of Noble Silence please read THE SPIRIT AND PRACTICE OF NOBLE SILENCE by Mushim Ikeda-Nash
