A Five-Night Silent Retreat led by Marlies Cocheret de la Morinière

July 8-13, 2012

In retreat we are leaving our busy world behind to give ourselves the time and space to soften our focus and go inside. Here we can give our wholehearted, undivided attention to our True Love – our True Nature!

Often, when we sit down and endeavor to rest as Silence, most of us tend to experience a sense of separation between our divinity and our humanity. Retreat is a total welcoming of all – appearances and the void – as one. Then the true resting as that Oneness naturally happens and is experienced as an intimacy with all Life. Bringing together our humanity and divinity, the true heart starts to flower as enlightenment for all beings. This is true compassion.

Retreat is the opportunity to be your own Self within the togetherness of community.

Through meditation, satsang and private meetings, we will welcome together the truth of our Being, which is our True Love.

Daily activities include periods of meditation, two Satsangs, movement/yoga, seva, and free time. Each retreatant will have the opportunity to meet with Marlies in a private session called Dokusan. Except for Satsang and Dokusan, the retreat will be held in silence.

At Harmony Lake Ranch the beauty and peace of the high desert and 80-acre lake will fully hold us as we deepen our relaxation into our True Nature.

Shared accommodations will be in dorm rooms or in tent or RV camping under the Big Sky. There is one double room for a couple.  Three meals each day plus snacks are included. Space is limited; retreat will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Costs for the retreat(per person):

Camping $525, Dormitory $575, Double for couples $650 per person.

Includes tuition, lodging, meals and private meeting.

Sharon Landrith
has a devotion and great love of the Truth. She is a gifted intuitive and a spiritual teacher in the lineage of Adyashanti. She met her beloved teacher, Adya, at a conference in 2000. Three years later, after a series of awakenings to the fundamental Reality, Adya asked her to teach and guide those genuinely drawn to the path of Truth. Since then, she continues to deepen into and embody this Truth herself. 

Sharon was born in 1947 in a little town in Kansas. Her lifelong glimpses of Truth led her to the grace of many teachers and spiritual traditions that increasingly revealed the “natural ground of being.”  Raised in the Christian tradition and formerly a student of Jean Klein, Sharon’s interest in Spirit led her to explore Buddhist Meditation and the non-dual path. After meeting her teacher Adyashanti, she and her husband Nate dedicated their lives to his teaching and to the realization that it opened.

Sharon is also one of the 12 women featured in the book, Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom, by Rita Marie Robinson. The book is a collection of intimate, heartfelt conversations with twelve women spiritual teachers that shows what it means to be “Self Realized” and fully engaged in the world.

“This Silent retreat offers a profound opportunity to delve deeply as our truest nature. We rest as stillness and fullness through silent sitting, guided meditations and a safe and intimate forum of questions and response. This deep immersion in Silence, allows Silence to come to the foreground and live our life consciously.” ~ Sharon


Sharon invites you to “Come home…” to That which you’ve always been.
In her presence you’ll taste a palpable expression of love and intimacy that allows you to feel safe dropping into the deep vulnerability required to know yourself as the All.

Sharon offers support for the required shift of identity that is both direct and tailored  to each person's journey. She will lovingly invite you to “tell yourself the Truth” and to “Come home, sweetheart, come home…”

In the simple recognition of the One Ultimate Reality, which is always and already here, the experience of separation dissolves.


"First, know the reality of your being. From that, peace prevails through all places, circumstances and people. The illusion ends."  ~ Sharon

Sharon's teachings are based on her deep realization of silence and the way silence expresses itself in form.  She notes, “Often there is still a thread that says the ‘me is going to get it; the ‘me’ is going to wake up. And it just isn’t true. It actually wakes up out of the ‘me’. “ So in her teaching, Sharon emphasizes how silence wakes up in the body and how the embodiment process is actualized. 

She is well qualified in this endeavor by her many years as an intuitive counselor. Since she has the ability to “read” the physical and energetic body, she is uniquely able to help unlock patterns that inhibit realization and the embodiment process that follows.


Sharon will offer a 20 min one-on-one dokusan to all participants on the retreat.

A check-in conference call with all participants after the retreat is also included.

Cost for the retreat varies according to housing choice.  Please visit Sharon's site to register for the retreat by clicking here.    Space is limited;  please do not make travel arrangements until you have received confirmation.
