Flowering Lotus is a sacred place for people to experience peacefulness and tranquility.  We ask that you do not use cell phones for calls or text messages, MP3 players, computers or any other electronic devices during silent retreats.  We also ask that you observe Noble Silence throughout the retreat.  This helps retreatants to focus on their individual meditation journey. Please respect others experience by adhering to no speaking, motioning, whispering or writing to other students. The teacher and the retreat manager are available if you should need to ask any questions.

More on the practice of Noble Silence will be explained at each retreat.
