On May 27, seniors from the “Senjorų Avilys” center visited the Merkine Pyramid — a unique place where silence, nature, and sacred space create an environment for deep inner rest and reflection. The trip offered participants an opportunity to step away from everyday concerns, reconnect with themselves, and spend a day surrounded by peace, support, and heartfelt warmth.
The visit began with a meeting with Povilas, who introduced the group to the history and spiritual significance of the Merkine Pyramid. Beneath the dome, prayers and traditional folk songs filled the space with a special sense of harmony. The remarkable acoustics allowed every sound to unfold in a unique way, creating an atmosphere of depth, presence, and inner stillness.
A special highlight of the journey was a sound healing session led by Jurate, founder of the “Namai of Creators” studio. Within the unique space of the Pyramid, the sounds seemed to resonate more deeply, gently surrounding participants with waves of calm and tranquility. The practice offered an opportunity to relax, release inner tension, and simply be present with one’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
For many participants, the experience became a moment of profound rest and renewal. The sounds, the silence between them, and the atmosphere of the Pyramid helped them slow down, restore inner balance, and reconnect with a sense of peace. After the session, participants shared sincere reflections, speaking about feelings of lightness, inspiration, emotional warmth, and an inner sense of brightness that stayed with them long after the practice had ended.
Following the sound healing session, guests enjoyed a peaceful walk around the Pyramid grounds, immersed themselves in the beauty of nature, and visited the Archangel Gabriel spring with its pure spring water. Time spent outdoors became another meaningful part of the journey, complementing the experience with a sense of harmony and connection to the natural world.
The trip took place in a warm, friendly, and supportive atmosphere, offering participants not only a memorable experience but also a valuable opportunity for emotional restoration, meaningful connection, and a deeper sense of community. Such gatherings remind us of the importance of caring for emotional well-being, nurturing human connection, and finding strength in simple yet profound moments of life.
